Sealants for Teeth
Dental sealants for teeth are a thin white or clear resin liquid coating (same material as white fillings) that is brushed onto your child’s back teeth to stop the early stages of decay from becoming a full-blown cavity. The sealant is applied to the back teeth using a small brush and then is bonded to the teeth by using a blue LED light.
Applying dental sealants to the back teeth could prevent up to 80% of cavities in school-aged children. Sealants serve as protective coatings for teeth. They are bonded to the back teeth to cover the grooves and make the surface of the teeth smooth.
The Super Dentists says that 80 to 90 percent of cavities on permanent back teeth occur due to pit and fissure decay, and 44 percent of cavities affect baby teeth as well. With sealants, your child may be able to eliminate the risk of tooth decay and fillings.
All of this is painless, so no anesthesia is required. Sealants for teeth are an effective child tooth decay treatment option to prevent cavities when they are applied soon after permanent molars come in, around six years old. The ADA recommends dental sealants for kids during early stages of a cavity to help stop decay.
Cavity Treatment
Approximately 28% of kids between two and five years old have cavities caused when bacteria is formed from consuming foods with sugars and starches, like juice, bread, cereal, soda, candy and milk.
The Super Dentists in EastLake offers world-class pediatric cavity treatment methods for both children and adults. The Super Dentists gives you and your child tooth decay treatment options that include white resin composite or amalgam fillings. Amalgam fillings contain mercury and silver, while resin composite fillings are tooth color and consist of durable, adhesive polymer materials.
Dental Crown Treatment
If a cavity is not caught early, the decay can destroy so much of the tooth that there is not enough left to support a filling. This is where the crown is useful. Crowns completely cover a tooth that has very little tooth structure left or has been weakened by decay, has been cracked, discolored or damaged.
The Super Dentists will advise you about using either a stainless steel or composite dental crown. Different materials are recommended based on the location in the mouth of where the crown needs to be placed.
