What are the most common dental procedures in pediatrics?
The most common dental procedures in pediatrics include:
-
Tongue-tie and Lip-tie Procedures: We use the LASER to safely remove the frenum in the mouth to help the baby nurse and can lead to improved speech, eating and better facial development.
-
Fillings: This is when a dentist removes decay from a tooth and then fills it with material (composite resin)
-
Crowns: We reduce the tooth and over it we place a tooth-colored white zirconia crown.
-
Tooth Extractions: This is usually done if there is too much damage decay on a tooth or if baby teeth need to be removed.
What is the main goal of Pediatric Dentistry?
The main goal of pediatric dentistry is to:
1. ensure that children have healthy teeth and mouths
2. via early age appointments, remember, the first dental visit should be by age 1 or when the first tooth erupts in the mouth.
3. maintain the baby teeth in the mouth because they preserve the space for the incoming teeth
