Pediatric Restorative Dentistry

About Pediatric Restorative Treatment

Restorative pediatric dental treatment focuses on repairing or replacing missing or damaged teeth in children, helping to restore a healthy, happy smile at Cedar House Family Dentistry. 

What is Restorative Dentistry for Children?

Restorative dentistry for children addresses dental health conditions such as tooth decay, cavities (dental caries), or injuries. Unlike other parts of the body, teeth do not heal themselves when damaged or diseased. Therefore, restorative treatment is essential to restore the function of the mouth, alleviate pain or discomfort, and correct the appearance of your child's smile.

What Types of Treatments Are Used in Restorative Dentistry for Kids?

CROWNS

Stainless steel crowns are commonly used to treat damaged teeth in children. They provide a durable solution for preserving the structure of the tooth.

PULPAL TREATMENT

In the primary dentition, pulpal therapy aims to preserve the teeth until they exfoliate naturally. In the young permanent dentition, it ails to preserve pulp vitality and allow the root development to continue, helping to achieve a favorable crown-root ratio.

TOOTH COLORED FILLINGS

Tooth-colored fillings are an excellent treatment option in pediatric dentistry, offering both aesthetic and health benefits for children. These fillings are made from composite resin that are mercury free, making them a safe choice for young patients. Unlike traditional metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with natural tooth enamel, ensuring that your child's smile remains bright and attractive.

In addition to their cosmetic appeal, tooth-colored fillings are durable and provide a strong bond to the tooth, helping to restore the tooth's function while minimizing the need for additional dental work. They are safe , effective and child-friendly solution for cavities and other dental issues, promoting both oral health and confidence in your child's smile.
