Why Are Milk Teeth Important ?

6 Of the childhood period of milk teeth.it should stay in the mouth from the month, until the age of 11-13. Premature extraction of milk teeth can cause permanent teeth to fail to come out or come out in the wrong position. Thus, problems such as confusion, deformity of permanent teeth, having a missing number of teeth as a result of inability to insert them into the mouth may occur.

Which Milk Teeth Require Fillings and Fissure Sealants?

Failing to clean and fill cavities in milk teeth can lead to cavities in neighboring teeth, eventually affecting both milk and permanent teeth. To prevent cavity formation, the application of “fissure sealants” is essential. Fissure sealants protect the grooved surfaces of teeth by covering them with a protective agent, thereby safeguarding them against cavities. If decay has progressed to the deeper layers of a tooth, the cavity must be removed, and the resulting space should be filled. There are special types of fillings designed for milk teeth. These fillings are more suitable for wear and do not cause wear on permanent teeth. Pediatric dentistry is a field that requires sensitivity and knowledge.

When Is Root Canal Treatment Performed on Milk Teeth?

Abscesses and pain resulting from cavities or trauma in milk teeth should be carefully evaluated. If the need for root canal treatment in milk teeth is not addressed, it can lead to irreversible damage to the underlying permanent teeth and jawbone. Therefore, root canal treatments for milk teeth are as crucial as those for permanent teeth. The roots of teeth that have undergone root canal treatment gradually resorb over time, making space for the underlying permanent teeth.

Extraction of Milk Teeth and Permanent Teeth in Children

In cases where the extraction of a milk tooth is necessary, it is essential to calculate the timing for the eruption of the permanent teeth and plan the extraction accordingly. The less traumatic the extractions are, the more comfortable the child’s subsequent dental appointments will be. Pediatric dentistry is a field that requires sensitivity and expertise.

How to Preserve the Space of Extracted Milk Teeth?

When the extraction of a milk tooth is necessary, it is crucial to preserve the space to ensure that the underlying permanent tooth erupts in the correct position and at the correct time. Failure to maintain these spaces can lead to problems such as impaction, misalignment, or crowding of the permanent teeth. Space maintainers should be planned, and a strategy should be developed for the underlying permanent teeth. This ensures that the permanent teeth erupt in the proper position and align correctly.
