Your Child and Pediatric Dental Fillings

Tooth decay is not a problem limited to adult smiles, as the underlying causes are present in our mouths from a very young age. As such, cavities are not at all uncommon for children, and in spite of their teeth being temporary, for many reasons, they should still be treated with dental fillings. For more information about pediatric dental fillings get in contact with Dr. Elleni Kapoor of General Dentistry 4 Kids in Virginia Beach, VA.

The Origin of Cavities

Plaque is the substance that forms on our teeth every day, it is a mixture of saliva, food particles, and the millions of bacteria that call it home. These bacteria love to feed on the sugary foods and drinks we consume and expel acids as a result of all this feeding. These acids can damage our gums and wear the protective enamel on our teeth, thus leading to cavities.

The sooner they are treated by your dentist, the easier it will be. It's important to treat even baby teeth as once decay has set in, untreated, decay can progress and further damage the tooth and may even threaten it. It risks the health of the gums, the discomfort of a toothache, and if the baby tooth is lost too early it can impact the eruption of the permanent tooth that follows.

Kids Dental Fillings in Virginia Beach, VA

Dental fillings can prevent cavities from becoming bigger problems in your kid's mouth, but the best approach to take against them is prevention. Daily brushing can keep plaque at a minimum, watching their diet closely, and with regular visits to the dentist's office, you can round out their dental hygiene. During the appointment, their dentist can keep track of any emerging concerns, and once they're old enough professional dental cleanings can help even further to make sure their smiles remain cavity-free. If you and your child have been away from the office for some time, or are simply wanting to ask more questions, then make an appointment today with Dr. Kapoor of General Dentistry 4 Kids in Virginia Beach, VA, by dialing (757) 965-3333.
