Children's dental treatments

Root canal treatment for a deciduous tooth becomes a chore when the primary or deciduous teeth begin to exfoliate between the ages of 6 and 12, and for this reason, parents often wonder why dentists sometimes recommend root canal treatment for their children’s teeth. It is important to spare your children’s deciduous teeth until they reach the exact period they should be. To fall out, instead of losing their baby teeth due to decay or collision, root canal treatment is performed to preserve the baby's teeth until they loosen and fall out and are replaced by adult teeth, and this young tooth is then available for function, making it easier for your child to eat and will reserve space for the developing adult teeth.

A space maintainer is a general term for any type of device that is installed after a tooth extraction to preserve the empty space of a tooth and prevent movement of adjacent teeth. If the milk tooth was extracted prematurely for any reason, the dentist chooses, according to the patient's condition, age, and number of teeth extracted, a space maintainer with his knowledge and experience, and recommends that the child's parents use it.

Tooth decay treatment: Tooth decay and necrosis are among the most common health problems in the world. It is especially common among children, teens, and older adults. But anyone with teeth can get cavities, including children. If tooth decay is not treated, it will grow and affect the deeper layers of your teeth. It can lead to severe toothache, infection and tooth loss. Regular visits to the dentist and good brushing and flossing habits are the best protection against tooth decay and cavities.
