1. Pediatric dental restoration surgery helps treat tooth decay (cavities),
damage, and disease to preserve the teeth’s integrity and prevent
future dental problems in children. The procedure involves preserving
and protecting the tooth structure and restoring function and
aesthetics. It also keeps your child’s teeth and gums healthy. Read on to

2. WHAT IS PEDIATRIC DENTAL RESTORATION
PROCEDURE?
After evaluating your child’s teeth, the dentist will suggest the proper
treatment and explain the procedure as well. Parents can stay in the
office during the process if the child needs added reassurance.
The pediatric dental restoration procedure begins with the dentist
numbing the treatment site with topical anesthesia to keep the child
pain-free. The procedure typically lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on
the treatment. In-office dental sedation or outpatient general
anesthesia may be considered for more advanced dental decay or
damage or when the patient cannot remain still for an extended period.
The dentist will go over all restorative dental treatment options with
you.

3. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PEDIATRIC DENTAL
RESTORATION TREATMENTS IN INDIA?
While preventive care is always the primary goal in pediatric dentistry,
tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood illness. According to
studies, up to 42 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 11 have
cavities, with 23 percent of those children going undiagnosed, allowing
the decay to worsen and necessitating more extensive restorative
treatment. Baby bottle tooth decay, for example, is not uncommon.
Despite parents’ best efforts to promote good dental health in their
children, tooth decay occasionally occurs. Depending on the extent and
type of tooth damage, children’s cavities can be treated with various
dental restorations.
The following are some of the most common pediatric dental
restorations available:
FILLINGS
Fillings are the minimally invasive and conservative restorative
treatment for tooth decay in children. Fillers can last for many years or,
in the case of primary teeth, until the permanent tooth erupts.
DENTAL CROWNS

4. A dental crown protects the baby tooth and falls naturally when the
permanent tooth erupts. Dental crowns on permanent teeth are
intended to last for many years.
SPACE MAINTAINERS
A space maintainer saves the space (which had been previously
occupied by the lost baby tooth) until the permanent replacement
erupts. A space maintainer is a stainless-steel band and loop that fits
within the space and stays there until the adjacent teeth become loose,
or the permanent tooth appears, at which point the dentist removes it.
