Read on to learn more about pediatric dental restoration surgery in India:

What Is Pediatric Dental Restoration Procedure?

After evaluating your child’s teeth, the dentist will suggest the proper treatment and explain the procedure as well. Parents can stay in the office during the process if the child needs added reassurance.

The pediatric dental restoration procedure begins with the dentist numbing the treatment site with topical anesthesia to keep the child pain-free. The procedure typically lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on the treatment. In-office dental sedation or outpatient general anesthesia may be considered for more advanced dental decay or damage or when the patient cannot remain still for an extended period. The dentist will go over all restorative dental treatment options with you.

What Are Some Of The Pediatric Dental Restoration Treatments In India?

While preventive care is always the primary goal in pediatric dentistry, tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood illness. According to studies, up to 42 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 11 have cavities, with 23 percent of those children going undiagnosed, allowing the decay to worsen and necessitating more extensive restorative treatment. Baby bottle tooth decay, for example, is not uncommon.

Despite parents’ best efforts to promote good dental health in their children, tooth decay occasionally occurs. Depending on the extent and type of tooth damage, children’s cavities can be treated with various dental restorations.

The following are some of the most common pediatric dental restorations available:

Fillings:

Fillings are the minimally invasive and conservative restorative treatment for tooth decay in children. Fillers can last for many years or, in the case of primary teeth, until the permanent tooth erupts.

Dental Crowns:

A dental crown protects the baby tooth and falls naturally when the permanent tooth erupts. Dental crowns on permanent teeth are intended to last for many years.

Space Maintainers:

A space maintainer saves the space (which had been previously occupied by the lost baby tooth) until the permanent replacement erupts. A space maintainer is a stainless-steel band and loop that fits within the space and stays there until the adjacent teeth become loose, or the permanent tooth appears, at which point the dentist removes it.
