Pediatric dentistry, also known as pedodontics, is the science that examines diseases related to oral and dental health from the birth of children to adolescence. In the field of pediatric dentistry, there are practices and treatments such as the child’s tooth eruption problems, their follow-up and prevention studies, the protection of children from caries, the treatment of caries in milk teeth and permanent teeth, and measures to prevent early tooth loss in children.
Pedodontics is especially concerned with the treatment of caries lesions in primary teeth, tooth fall out, and the depth of tooth and caries. Pediatric dentist restores teeth with fillers. In children, a rotten tooth is not immediately removed. First of all, it is preferred to apply restoration treatments. Trauma is one of the most important problems that arise due to frequent falls in children. From the moment of the trauma, the dentist should definitely see and start a treatment in this regard. Otherwise, the tooth gradually loses its vitality and tissue loss occurs. In this case, it is ensured that the old functions of the tooth are fulfilled again by going to the dentist. As a result of trauma, a fracture or fragmentation of the tooth may occur. In such cases, dentists perform restoration by sticking the broken piece to the tooth. Apart from these, we can list the treatments applied as follows:
Milk teeth begin to erupt between 6 and 8 months after birth. When the child is 30 months old, there are 20 milk teeth. These teeth begin to fall out or wobble after the development of permanent teeth at the age of 6-7 years. With the formation of permanent teeth in child tooth development, the roots of milk teeth melt. All of the milk teeth fall out at about the age of 12 and are replaced by permanent teeth.
