Many people think that milk teeth are not necessary as they are temporary. However, the fact of the matter is that they play a vital role. Milk teeth guide the adult teeth to be in their correct position. They also play a significant role in developing the child’s habit of chewing and speaking. If there is any change in the eruption timing of milk teeth, then there will be consequences in the pattern of adult teeth eruption. The space they create will be lost if the milk teeth shed off before time. The adult teeth will erupt in a different location and lead to crowding. If the milk teeth do not shed off at any time, the adult teeth will get deflected and erupt ectopically. Milk teeth are the natural space maintainers essential for guiding the adult teeth into their desired location.

Like adult teeth, milk teeth can be restored with dental fillings. GIC fillings are fluoride-releasing dental fillings mainly used for restoration. Anatomically, milk and adult teeth are similar. The extent and severity of the damage will determine the decision to have dental fillings. If the first two layers of the teeth are involved, we can fill them with dental fillings. If the third layer is concerned, we need pulp therapy.
Pulp therapy is needed when the innermost layer, nerves, and blood vessels are involved. Pulpotomy and pulpectomy are the two main types of pulp therapies. The choice of treatment depends on the radiological analysis of the tooth involved. The pulpotomy involves removing the infected portion from the crown portion only. Pulpectomy is similar to adult root canal treatment. It consists of removing the complete crown and root portion of the teeth. Stainless steel crowns often follow Pulp therapy to prevent tooth fractures.
They are indicated to restore the structure of the damaged milk teeth. It prevents the milk teeth from fractures. It is essential to maintain the milk teeth till the time of eruption for adult teeth
Milk teeth are natural space maintainers. If milk teeth are lost early or extracted for any reason, we need space maintainers to maintain the space. The type of space maintainer required depends on the child’s age and the teeth lost.
It is a painless process of removing the tooth under local anesthesia. It is done comfortably without damaging the developing adult teeth. It is always kept as the last resort when all the other methods to save the tooth have failed.
Fluoride is an essential mineral that prevents tooth decay. It is present in most areas of the community water supply. Insufficient fluoridation can cause children to become more prone to caries. As a preventive measure for Kids Dental Treatment in Andheri West, fluoride is recommended to reduce tooth damage risk.
The milk teeth have deep grooves that harbor bacteria and cause tooth damage. Pit and fissure sealants help provide a barrier mechanism to prevent bacterial accumulation. Gels are applied to the teeth to make them impervious to bacteria’s deposition. It is a safe practice for your child to prevent future damage.
