If my child gets a cavity in a baby tooth, should it be filled?

Primary, or “baby,” teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, but they also aid in forming a path those permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to erupt. Some of them are necessary until a child is 12 years old or longer. Pain, infection of the gums and jaws, impairment of general health, and premature loss of teeth are just a few of the problems that can happen when baby teeth are neglected. Also, because tooth decay is really an infection and will spread, decay on baby teeth can cause decay on permanent teeth. Proper care of baby teeth is instrumental in enhancing the health of your child.

Digital x-rays are just as important for your child as they are for you as a full-grown adult. These high-tech x-rays provide a clear look at the spaces between the teeth where cavities might form yet cannot be seen with the naked eye. Digital x-rays do not subject your child to the radiation of traditional x-rays so don’t spend a single second worrying about potential side effects. Digital dental x-rays reveal whether cavities have formed between the teeth and also provide an insightful view of the supporting tissues and bone.

It will take merely a couple minutes or less to take your child’s dental x-rays. If the x-rays reveal your child has cavities, extra teeth, a tumor or cyst, the stage will be set for timely and effective treatment. Just 4 Me Pediatric Dentistry in Getzville and Buffalo also uses digital dental x-rays to view teeth as they develop. Our digital dental x-rays even prove helpful in monitoring the progress of prior dental procedures so alterations in the teeth can be tracked as time progresses.

So don’t subject your baby or child to radiation from conventional x-rays. Opt for those of the digital variety and your little one will be subjected to 90% less radiation exposure. The end result is a high-quality image that provides us with an in-depth look at your child’s oral health.

For areas between the teeth that a toothbrush can’t reach, dental floss is used to remove food particles and plaque. It is very important to floss between your teeth every day!

We understand that busy schedules sometimes mean that a grandparent, nanny, family friend or neighbor may need to bring your child to their dental appointment. We are happy to welcome them!
To ensure we can provide the safest and best care for your child, we ask that a parent/legal guardian speak with our office within 24 hours of the visit.
If someone other than a parent/guardian accompanies the child to the appointment and we are unable to reach the parent/guardian, treatment or services may be postponed.
Thank you for helping us provide the best possible care for your child!
