Restorative dentistry, in general, is the prevention and treatment of diseases of the teeth to bring them back to their best health. Restorative dentistry for kids includes the repair or replacement of nonfunctional or damaged teeth. Our teeth are not capable of self-healing. And if professional treatment is not done promptly enough, permanent damage to a tooth caused by a crack or cavity can result in its eventual extraction. Having restorative procedures done promptly will allow dental patients to keep their biological teeth. Especially for children, retaining their natural teeth is the best-case scenario for them to have the optimum oral function and proper dental growth.
