Treatment of caries in children in Dnipro
Caries is one of the most common dental diseases. It is diagnosed in many adults, but it is even more common and progresses faster in children. The main cause of caries is bacteria. They enter the oral cavity with food and drinks and secrete acids that contribute to the destruction of tooth enamel. Predisposing factors are weakened immunity, mineral deficiency in the body, improper oral hygiene, etc.
Stages of the disease:
- Caries spot: darkening on the surface of the tooth.
- Superficial caries: demineralization of the enamel, sensitivity of the tooth to cold, hot, sour and sweet.
- Medium caries: damage that reaches the dentin, with the formation of a depression in the tooth.
- Deep caries: destruction of the enamel and dentin that reaches the pulp.
The deeper the damage, the stronger the tooth reacts to cold, hot, sour and sweet food or drinks. As the disease progresses, its development accelerates. That is why caries treatment should be started as early as possible.
Classification of caries by localization
- Fissure: destruction in the upper part of the tooth, in anatomical recesses.
- Approximate: localized on the lateral surfaces, between the teeth.
- Cervical: develops in the lower part of the tooth, near the gums.
If the disease is left untreated, it not only becomes a source of frequent pain (especially during meals), but can also lead to periodontitis or pulpitis. Due to the insufficient strength of milk teeth, the disease progresses very quickly. Therefore, at the first signs of caries, immediately seek help from a pediatric dentist!
Treatment of caries in children
Drilling teeth can cause a child to panic. In our clinic, all procedures for children are performed by pediatric dentists who know how to turn the treatment process into an exciting game and make it painless.
Depending on which teeth are being treated – milk or permanent – as well as on the localization and degree of their damage, different methods are used. First, the doctor examines the child’s oral cavity, interviews him and the parents for a comprehensive assessment of the situation. After that, an appropriate treatment method is selected.
In the early stages of the disease, enamel cleaning and protection are used using silvering, fluoridation or remineralization. If the deep tissues of the tooth are affected, a filling is performed. The procedure is similar for milk and permanent teeth. In the case of permanent teeth, durable materials (composites, photopolymers, etc.) are more often used, capable of lasting more than 10 years.
Because caries can affect tooth tissues to a considerable depth (to the pulp, in which nerve endings and blood vessels are located), the treatment of advanced disease causes severe pain. Therefore, cleaning the tooth cavity and filling in
