Dental Restorative Materials in Pediatric Dentistry

7/30/2020

 
In General, The AAPD (American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) commendations to help pediatric dentists to make decisions regarding restorative dentistry, including when it is necessary to treat with the appropriate restorative materials and techniques are for dentistry in children and adolescents.

Primary teeth risks are more susceptible to restoration failures than later or permanent teeth whereas one needs to consider the length of time left prior to tooth extraction and before primary teeth restoration.

The benefits of Restorative Dentistry include:
- removing cavitation or defects to remove areas that are prone to caries
- stopping the development of tooth demineralization
- restoring the uprightness of tooth structure
- spreading of infection prevention into the dental pulp
- shifting of teeth prevention due to loss of tooth structure

The risks of Restorative Dentistry include:
- longevity of teeth assurance is less
- teeth are more susceptible to fracture
- recurrent lesions
- restoration failure
- pulp experience during caries excavation
- future pulpal complications
- iatrogenic damage to adjacent teeth

How To Floss Teeth, Flossing is Essential For Children

7/7/2020

 
​Most parents do not floss their children’s teeth at all. Parents who don’t consider flossing is one of the best dental hygiene routines – After reading this blog, they do flossing and never miss the routine. It is more helpful than toothbrushes especially under the gums where they can’t reach.
Picture
We all could be better at flossing as it is a very important oral hygiene habit. Flossing is as important as brushing especially for children’s teeth. It cleans teeth and dislodges stuck food between your teeth and gums. Basically, it is one of the best steps to keeping gums healthy. To do flossing, we can use a simple thin cord of filaments which is very soft to remove food after eating.
​
Dental Floss is mainly recommended by Dentists. It is easily available on nearby Chemists. For proper dental flossing, parents need to learn the technique from their kids’ Pediatric Dentists so that they do flossing accurately and do not hurt gums.

Why Should Parents Use Dental Floss

Picture
​Sometimes people find floss hard to use so don’t be aggressive with the floss. It may hurt gums and teeth. If you are doing it the first time then go to see your kid’s Dentist and learn the way of flossing. Your Dentist will advise you the best dental floss for your child.

Flossing Action

​Along with yourself, you can also teach your child about flossing actions in early ages. You can take help of your child teddies to make them learn about flossing so that they can easily understand gentle scraping of the tooth from the top down and practice on them.
Picture
Here are the few dental floss steps. By practicing it you can grip your hands on flossing.
- Take 18 inches of floss.
- Most of the floss round it on middle fingers equally
- Now hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers.
- Start scraping gentle between your teeth
- Hold the floss tightly against the tooth
- When the floss reaches the gum line, curve it into a C shape against one tooth
- Do not forget to rub the sides of the tooth and back side of your last tooth

Once you are done with flossing, throw the used floss in the dustbin immediately rinse your mouth so that bacteria couldn’t leave behind.
​
So it is as easy as tooth brushing and most important for a kid's mouth health.

What Our Patients Are Saying

★★★★★
"Literally THE best kids dentistry EVER!!! If you want to have your kids' teeth checked out and have a blast time for them, then look no further. I don't do positive reviews because I feel that I pay for the service anyways but I must say, this placed is awesome for both kids and the parents. Highly recommend..”
— YELP user Jy C.

★★★★★
​"I was pretty nervious when my kid mentioned his toothache, because making my kid sit straight is very tall order, let alone when dentist probbing his mouth. Surprisingly, Dr Jun made my kid relaxed and somehow found a way to extract his teeth. My kid went to her again in a week, with no fear for follow up appointment. 

I would recommend her anytime. ”
