Coloured fillings for children

Children’s coloured fillings – a lifesaver for parents

It is important to take care of your teeth from a very young age. In addition to the standard brushing procedure, young patients should visit the dentist regularly. Even baby teeth need a filling to avoid complications and damage to permanent teeth. So how can you persuade your little one to visit the dentist? Offer him the procedure of acquaintance in the form of a play performance. In the future, you can interest the child in coloured fillings. These and other services are provided by our specialists in the clinic of family dentistry “Dent-House”. The price of psycho-emotional adaptation of a patient of any age – 2000 UAH.

Advantages of children’s coloured fillings

Coloured fillings are virtually the same as conventional fillings – they are just as strong. Like standard fillings, these fillings are made of photopolymer, composite and glass ionomer. However, the choice of the type of filling should be entrusted to the dentist – each case is different.

One of the main advantages of coloured fillings is that they are designed specifically for children. This is where these advantages come from:

1. Fast treatment. Thanks to its special properties, the filling is easy to apply and quickly takes the desired shape. Moreover, the doctor does not need to match the colour of the material to the natural shade of the child’s tooth. Thus, the treatment of tooth decay takes a minimum of time.
2. Practicality. If a filling starts to wear off, it is easy to see with the naked eye.
3. Versatility. The filling is suitable for the treatment of any caries and children of any age.
4. Therapeutic effect. Coloured fillings contain fluoride, which is constantly released and strengthens the enamel.
5. Durability. Due to the good adhesion of the material to the tooth surface, the filling almost never falls out.
6. Durability. A coloured filling can be worn for up to 3 years, sometimes longer. It is an excellent solution for baby teeth.

The most important advantage of coloured fillings is the interest of the child. If the child is afraid of dentists or categorically does not want to have his teeth treated, he can easily be interested in choosing a colour and a picture/print that the doctor will imprint on top. Doctors usually offer a wide palette of shades, so the child can choose their favourite. This way, the treatment process turns into a game and also builds interest in dental care.

Note that if the baby is very frightened and cannot be persuaded, it is better to choose treatment during sleep. You can check the price of the treatment with the receptionist.

Features of coloured fillings on baby teeth

The treatment process starts with the choice of colour. The doctor establishes a trusting relationship with the child and he is no longer afraid to open his mouth. What’s more, the assistant offers the baby to switch on his favourite cartoon. And after the treatment, you can show off your bravery in a pirate photo zone with a real steering wheel and be rewarded for your patience with colouring models made by our technical laboratory.

The procedure for treating tooth decay is standard. First, the dentist cleans the teeth with a toothpaste and brush, and then cleans the decayed area with a drill or laser. The cavity is then treated and filled with a ready-made filling material in the chosen colour. The filling is then shined with a special lamp to harden. A small correction of the desired shape may then be necessary. The last stage – the child looks in the mirror and admires the beautiful teeth.

Depending on the complexity of the case, the procedure takes 20-60 minutes.

Why it is important to treat baby teeth

Many parents think that treatment of baby teeth is an optional procedure. However, this is not the case at all. Dentists unanimously believe that it is necessary to treat tooth decay on baby teeth. And here’s why:

1. Baby teeth decay very quickly due to decay, so they may fall out before the permanent teeth erupt. This can lead to a bad bite and other problems.
2. Decay can affect not only baby teeth, but also nearby tissues or the rudiments of molars.

Be sure to keep your baby teeth healthy. The sooner you start seeing a paediatric dentist, the better.
