¿Qué es el cuidado dental restaurativo para niños?

La odontología restauradora es la prevención y el tratamiento de enfermedades de los dientes para restaurarlos o devolverlos a su mejor salud. La odontología restauradora también incluye la reparación o reemplazo de dientes dañados o defectuosos. La odontología restauradora se realiza para tratar o reemplazar los dientes perdidos o dañados. Ya sea que su hijo experimente una lesión dental, desarrolle una caries o tenga un problema dental estético o funcional, el Dr. Abarca puede restaurar los dientes de manera efectiva para garantizar una sonrisa saludable y una apariencia hermosa.

Rellenos de composite “Rellenos blancos”


¿Sabías que incluso los dientes de leche a veces necesitan empastes? Cuando un diente está agrietado, desfigurado o con caries, se puede usar un empaste compuesto (blanco) para restaurar el diente. Los dientes de leche juegan un papel fundamental en el desarrollo de su hijo. Una buena higiene bucal y las visitas periódicas ayudan a que los empastes duren más y su hijo pueda disfrutar de una boca saludable y sin dolor.

coronas blancas

 

Las coronas dentales de zirconio blanco son una alternativa a las coronas de acero inoxidable altamente estéticas y duraderas. Las coronas dentales de zirconia blanca están hechas de cerámica de zirconia monolítica sólida que no se decolora, astilla ni descompone con el tiempo. Las coronas de zirconia están prefabricadas digitalmente y se producen en diferentes tamaños. El proceso de la corona consiste en eliminar el área cariada o dañada y luego preparar el diente restante para la colocación de la corona. El Dr. Abarca puede elegir la corona de zirconia del color del diente adecuada que combinará a la perfección con los otros dientes de su hijo.

Pulpotomía “Conducto Radicular Bebé”


A menudo llamada "mini" o "canal de raíz bebé", una pulpotomía terapéutica es el proceso de extraer tejido cariado de la cámara pulpar del diente (la parte superior que se encuentra sobre la línea de las encías) y rellenarlo con un material medicado (" medicamento”) para detener una mayor descomposición.

Mantenedores de espacio

Un mantenedor de espacio es un aparato oral hecho para "mantener" el espacio dejado por un diente de leche faltante. Los mantenedores de espacio generalmente solo se necesitan cuando un niño pierde un diente antes de que su reemplazo permanente se haya desarrollado o esté listo para salir. Esto puede ocurrir debido a caries o lesiones dentales, o por un hecho natural.

Odontología Láser


La odontología láser es menos invasiva que muchas formas tradicionales de odontología y muchos procedimientos realizados con láser son indoloros, lo que significa que los pacientes no requieren anestesia. La odontología con láser es beneficiosa porque brinda la oportunidad de usar menos medicamentos, ser más preciso durante los procedimientos, disminuir el tiempo de los procedimientos y reducir los riesgos de sangrado intraoral e infección.

You may be wondering why children sometimes need restorative dental treatments?

While it may seem like something only adults have to worry about, there are actually a number of reasons why kids might need such procedures. One of the most common reasons for restorative dental treatment in children is due to cavities or tooth decay.

This can happen when plaque and bacteria build up on teeth and gums, causing damage over time.

If not treated early, cavities can lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss.

Other times, kids might need restorative treatments because of an oral injury (from playing sports or accidents), problems with tooth development, overcrowding, and more. So what exactly are the benefits of pediatric restorative dentistry?

Restoring damaged teeth can obviously help improve your child’s appearance – but it also has functional advantages as well. For example, if a cavity isn’t filled, it will continue to grow larger and eventually cause pain whenever your child eats or drinks anything hot or cold. In addition, untreated cavities can lead to infections which could require antibiotics or even surgery down the road.

By taking care of these problems early on, you can help your child avoid a lot of pain and suffering – not to mention costly dental bills later on down the road.

Why Do Children Need Restorative Dental Treatment?

Children can need restorative dental treatment for a variety of reasons. The most common reason is tooth decay.

Tooth decay is caused by bacteria in the mouth that produce acid. This acid can eat away at the enamel, or hard outer layer of the tooth.

If the decay is not caught early, it can spread to the dentin, or inner layer of the tooth. Decay can also cause cavities.

Cavities are holes in the teeth that can become infected. If the infection is not treated, it can spread to the pulp, or the center of the tooth.

The pulp contains the nerves and blood vessels. An infection in the pulp can be very painful. It can also cause the tooth to die. If the tooth dies, it will need to be removed.

Other reasons children may need restorative dental treatment include:

  • Oral injuries

  • Problems with tooth development

  • Overcrowding

  • Tooth grinding

  • Thumb sucking
     

Restorative dental treatment can help children keep their teeth healthy and prevent further damage.

Key Takeaway: Restorative dental treatment can help children keep their teeth healthy and prevent further damage.
