What a big difference it made having the front teeth of my 2 year old patient fixed.
My patient came to the clinic with badly carious teeth which started when he had a fall, cracked some teeth and they started getting cavities. This was also aggravated by his milk.
During the first visit, the parents agreed to have it fixed immediately since they live far.
I did composite crowns (like Strip off crowns but direct build up on the teeth). I anesthetized him with Lidocaine and restrained him using a papoose board. I did not sedate the child. He was awake and crying but parents were okay with that.
Even though he cried and we had 2 visits because he had another cavity on a molar, the child was very happy. Parents were happy too because there are no more cavities.
