Laser treatment for tooth decay in children

Do you remember, dear parents, how unpleasant it was to visit the dentist in your childhood? Lots of noises and unpleasant odors? No wonder that most adults are left with a deep fear of dental treatments because of those unhappy childhood experiences at the dentist!

Treatment of caries in children

Life Dental Spa comes with good news: your children do not have to go through such unpleasant experiences! With the advent of the dental laser, treatment for cavities in children has never been simpler and more effective, just like other dental services for them.

Now everything has changed and treatments can be:

What is a dental laser and how is it used in caries treatment for children?

Dental laser is the state-of-the-art in modern dentistry. Being gentle and minimally invasive, it is the best choice for treating caries in children, but also in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Whether it's decayed teeth, rotten teeth, baby teeth or molars in children, laser caries treatment is the best treatment for the following reasons:

It is comfortable - the working parameters of the dental laser can be adapted to the patient's sensitivity. Laser treatment is also suitable for patients with various allergies to anesthetic substances.
Selective and minimally invasive - which means that the laser beam removes mainly decayed enamel, protecting healthy tissue. In this way, the treatment is very conservative for the enamel, as it does not affect the healthy area around the caries, as can happen with drill treatments.
Bactericidal - the dental laser eliminates bacteria in the cavity that will receive the filling, so the risk of secondary or marginal caries decreases to 0.
It is much safer than milling, without the risk of accidentally injuring the tissues near the treated tooth (lips, cheeks), if the child makes sudden, uncontrolled movements.

Tooth decay in children

Children's teeth, both baby and permanent, can benefit from laser treatment for cavities. The branch of dentistry that deals with children's dental problems is called pedodontics.

Tooth decay in children appears and manifests itself in a similar way to that in adults and must be treated with the same seriousness, even if it is a baby tooth.

Many parents mistakenly believe that baby teeth do not need treatment because they will be replaced with permanent teeth anyway.

Unfortunately, however, cavities on baby teeth hurt just as much as those on permanent teeth when they are advanced, they bother the child and their infections can also affect the development of permanent tooth buds.

Steps to achieve dental laser treatment

Consultation

The specialist doctor meets the little patient and the first interaction between the two takes place.

Planning

In the second stage of the session, the specialist draws up a treatment plan for the child.

Treating tooth decay

Laser caries treatment is performed so that your child will have a healthy smile since childhood.

Final discussions

The specialist discusses the experience with your child, encouraging them to maintain a healthy smile at all times.

With the dental laser, your child will have a perfectly healthy smile!

Treatment for caries in children, when performed with a classic drill, also presents some risks related to the workmanship, such as accidental traumatization/cutting of the gum, cheek, tongue, etc, if the child is agitated and has uncontrolled movements. These risks DO NOT EXIST in the case of minimally invasive dental laser treatments, so the little patient is perfectly safe during the procedure.

During a dental consultation for children, Life Dental Spa uses an intraoral camera to visualize in real time, on the monitor, the dental situation of the little patient. In this way, both the patient and the parent/guardian obtain information and recommendations about the dental treatments to be performed. Any dental problem in children, even if it is the baby teeth, should be treated at the earliest possible stage, so that things go as smoothly and quickly as possible. In both children and adults, prevention is very important.
