The health of the children is in the hands of the parent. Any condition they will encounter, the parents would know what to expect and to do. But, what about teeth sensitivity? Teeth sensitivity to adults are both painful and uncomfortable, what about to children? Are there any available remedies or treatment?Teeth sensitivity to children is experienced the same way as adults do. We at Tribeca North Dentistry offers solutions to the treatment of teeth sensitivity under our Pediatric Dentistry Service. It is to ensure the treatment and prevention of the development of other forms of dental complications.
Dental Sealants. It is the procedure where a sealant solution is directly placed on the child’s teeth surface. It ensures the deep grooves and pits are covered to prevent bacterias from settling and causing damage.Fluoride Application. Fluoride is a mineral that coats each teeth and prevents acids from attacking the enamel. Although it is a naturally occurring mineral which can be taken from foods and beverages, they can be easily lost due to demineralization. To counter it remineralization is needed where the lost minerals are being gathered to protect the child’s teeth.Fillings. It is performed to fill in the teeth cavities caused by decay. A decayed tooth means that there are exposed portions which may cause pain and sensitivity. Fillings covered the exposed parts to prevent any further damage or sensitivity.Crowns. If a tooth is too damaged for fillings, dental crowns can be used. Crowns are tooth-shaped “cap” which is placed over the child’s damaged tooth. It can restore both the teeth’s appearance and function by preserving the structure instead of opting for extraction.Phase-One Orthodontics. The child’s teeth irregularities and imperfections should be taken care of as early as possible. Problems such as crooked or misaligned teeth have areas which are harder to clean even by proper brushing, flossing, and rinsing. These areas may harbor bacterias which can cause damage to the teeth and lead to sensitivity.Emergency Dentistry. Injuries during activities, sports, or playing, may cause damage to the teeth. It may not be visible or painful, but if left untreated it may progress to a severe problem and even sensitivity. Emergency dentistry can help in the immediate dental treatments children need to prevent it from worsening.Teeth sensitivity may sound like a simple problem, but its causes may be uncertain.
