The Importance of Maintaining Healthy Baby Teeth
Even though they will eventually fall out, baby teeth are essential building blocks for your child’s future oral health. They act as guides for the permanent teeth developing behind the scenes, ensuring they come in the proper alignment. If a baby tooth is lost prematurely, the neighboring teeth may shift toward the gap, leading to costly orthodontic interventions later on.
Beyond alignment, healthy baby teeth are critical for speech development and proper chewing, ensuring your child has all the nutrients needed to grow healthy. Moreover, tooth decay or damage can cause pain, leading to missed school days and time away from favorite activities. Restoring decayed or damaged teeth is an investment in your child’s long-term oral health and overall well-being.
Why Would Your Child Need a Tooth Filling?
Tooth decay, left untreated, can continue to advance, leading to pain and infection. At TIME Pediatric Dentists, we offer tooth-colored fillings made from a composite resin material that we closely match to your child’s natural teeth. Our amalgam-free restorations offer a natural-looking solution to repair cavities and restore healthy, seamless smiles. They are also ideal for addressing minor tooth chips, helping prevent further damage.
What Are Dental Crowns?
If your child’s baby tooth has extensive decay and insufficient structure to support a tooth-colored filling, we may recommend a dental crown. Your child’s restoration will fully encase the damaged tooth, restoring its form and function. Dental crowns can also cover weak or damaged teeth, protecting them and preserving them until their permanent replacements are ready to come in.
At TIME Pediatric Dentists, we offer different pediatric crowns materials, including the following:
- Stainless Steel Crowns: These silver-colored caps offer a cost-effective, long-lasting solution to restore your child’s smile. They come pre-made in different shapes and sizes and are ready to place in one appointment without having to take any impressions.
- Zirconia Crowns: Our tooth-colored crowns are ideal for restoring damaged front teeth that show when your child smiles. Like stainless steel crowns, our aesthetic restorations are placed in one appointment, leaving your child with seamless results.
