Pediatric dentists; pedodontists perform various treatments to protect, treat and monitor the development of children’s oral and dental health. Here are the main types of treatments that pediatric dentists perform:
1. Preventive Dentistry Practices
- Fluoride Application: Regular fluoride application is done to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities.
- Fissure Sealant: This protective coating applied to the chewing surface of permanent molars helps prevent tooth decay.
2. Milk Teeth Treatments
- Baby Tooth Fillings: Fillings are applied to baby teeth that are decayed or broken, thus preserving the structure and function of the tooth.
- Baby Tooth Root Canal Treatment: Root canal treatment can be applied to baby teeth in cases where decay has progressed to the nerve tissue of the tooth.
- Baby Tooth Extraction: Baby teeth that need to be extracted are safely removed by pediatric dentists. The extraction process is also important for the proper emergence of permanent teeth.
3. Permanent Dental Treatments
- Permanent Tooth Fillings: By filling decayed permanent teeth, the progression of decay is stopped.
- Root Canal Treatment: If the nerve of the tooth is damaged as a result of deep decay or trauma in permanent teeth, root canal treatment is applied.
4. Orthodontic Treatment
- Early Orthodontic Treatment: If irregularities are detected in the teeth and jaw structure of children, intervention can be done at an early age. This treatment is important for the correct alignment of the teeth and the organization of the jaw structure.
- Functional Appliances: Orthodontic problems are eliminated at an early age by using appliances that affect jaw development and tooth positions.
5. Dental Trauma Treatment
- Emergency intervention is performed for dental traumas that frequently occur in children (a tooth breaking or being dislocated due to reasons such as falling or hitting). Management of teeth that need to be replaced, broken parts treated or extracted is provided.
6. Correcting Thumb Sucking and Oral Habits
- Counseling and special apparatus are used to prevent habits such as long-term thumb sucking, bottle or pacifier use from negatively affecting the teeth and jaw structure of children.
7. Treatment with Sedation or General Anesthesia
- For children who are afraid of the dentist or require extensive treatment, treatment can be done with sedation or general anesthesia. This method allows the child to have a comfortable treatment process.
8. Placeholder Applications
- Placeholders, which are used to replace prematurely lost baby teeth, ensure that the space is maintained until permanent teeth appear. This reduces the risk of permanent teeth emerging crooked.
9. Teething and Eruption Guidance
- Pediatric dentists monitor and guide the teething process so that the teeth emerge in the correct order and on time. In case of irregular or late eruption of teeth, appropriate treatments are planned.
These treatments play an important role in protecting children’s oral and dental health, preventing cavities and treating potential dental problems at an early age.
