Restoration of Primary (Milk) Teeth

As soon as the first baby tooth appears (on average, around the sixth month), the baby should be taken to the dentist. The parents themselves will benefit the most from this first visit to the dentist. First of all, they will learn how to maintain oral and dental hygiene in the child at this age. They will also receive useful tips regarding teething, which can cause various inconveniences for many children.

The formation of the habit of regularly visiting the dentist begins at an early age. This way, a positive attitude is formed in the child and his further independence in caring for his dental health is encouraged, and if there is a need for treatment and restoration of baby teeth, he will not be afraid of visiting the clinic.

A baby tooth has a thinner protective layer than a permanent one. For this reason, it is very susceptible to caries. If caries affects a baby tooth, the pulp of the tooth is often affected, even if nothing is visible from the outside. This is why regular check-ups with a pediatric dentist and timely training in proper oral hygiene are very important. If a baby tooth is lost due to caries or other reasons, it can have fatal consequences. Because intact baby teeth begin to move into the gap that is formed. This narrows the gap and leaves no room for the permanent teeth that will appear later. The result of this process is complex orthodontic treatment and possible removal of permanent teeth.

Only timely treatment and restoration of baby teeth can prevent their early loss. If they are lost too early, the jaw will not be able to develop properly. Since preserving baby teeth is extremely important, we at the SA-NATA clinic take care to do everything possible to preserve baby teeth. However, it may happen that the damage to a baby tooth is too great to be restored with a filling. The supply of filling material will not be enough. In such cases, as part of the restoration of a baby tooth, it is necessary to install a prefabricated crown on the baby tooth.

Installation of a crown may be recommended in the following cases:

Caries: if a baby tooth has an extensive carious defect that cannot be restored using standard methods, the doctor may recommend installing a crown. Caries can lead to further destruction of the tooth and infection, so installing a crown can help prevent these problems and save the tooth until it is naturally lost. Severe tooth damage: If a baby tooth has suffered a severe trauma, such as a fracture or chip, a crown may be necessary to restore the function and aesthetic appearance of the baby teeth. It will provide additional support and protection for the damaged unit.
Developmental defects: Sometimes baby teeth may have congenital defects, such as enamel hypoplasia or ameligogenesis. In such cases, installing a crown can help smooth out the defects and provide a decent aesthetic appearance.

Installing a crown on a baby tooth ensures that severely damaged baby teeth are preserved, at least until the permanent teeth emerge. The crown is individually fixed to each baby tooth.
