Making our children get used to go to the dentist, to establish oral care habits is a very important task. Regular and thorough cleaning of milk teeth – regular 6-month recall-visits are so much determinant as preservation of permanent teeth later.
1. Milk tooth filling
Treatment of little or medium sized decay in the tooth is perhaps the most frequent intervention in case of young patients. Health, and masticatory capacity of milk teeth can be kept, further decay can be avoided till change of teeth by filling, or polishing. During poilshing we polish the decayed cavity between the two teeth till it becomes a smooth surface, then we „impregnate” the surface with a two phase painting.
2. Milk tooth root canal treatment
In contrast to public opinion milk teeth have developed roots – in accordance with their size. (These will be absorbed when permanent teeth break through.) If the milk tooth is seriously injured before tooth change, it will be infected, if left untreated, it can be a source of chronic, purulent inflammation with fistulae.
3. Dental sealants
Caries in most cases starts in deep striae of molars, which can not be cleaned. By dental sealants closing hermetically and bacteria free the deepest part of the chewing surface will provide that it will be perfectly cleanable, by this way it will be prevented from forming caries. To be on the safe side, dental sealant is to be performed within six months after the tooth has broken through, so we perform this effective intervention for preventing caries from six years approximately (when permanent 6 teeth break through) at the same time when permanent teeth break through. Using a special two phase painting solution we make the upper layer more resistant to further attacks.
