Restorative Pediatric Care
In children, dental restorations are used to cure tooth decay (cavities), injury, or disease in order to preserve the teeth's integrity and prevent subsequent dental disorders. WE preserves and protects the tooth structure during paediatric dental restoration of primary teeth, allowing function and aesthetics to be restored.
Our Approach
In today's modern dentistry era, root canal therapy is one of the most prevalent procedures performed by a specialised dentist in daily clinical practise. It is the safest treatment approach for preserving natural teeth in a healthy oral environment while maintaining normal mouth shape and function.
​
The first impression of root canal therapy, often known as RCT, is that it will be painful. However, if performed by a team of experienced dentists, RCT is a procedure that removes your pain caused by a tooth infection.
​
What is Root Canal Treatment for Children (RCT)?
The teeth are divided into two parts: the crown, which is normally seen as the white section in the mouth, and the root, which is hidden by bone and gum and is not visible in the oral cavity. There are different layers in the crown and root. Enamel/cementum is the outermost layer of the tooth, followed by dentin and pulp. Pulp is the tooth's innermost layer, which contains blood vessels and nerves and is responsible for keeping the tooth alive.
​
Tooth discomfort is caused by a variety of toxic substances and trauma to the pulp. To ease the discomfort and remove any infection from the tooth, the pulp must be carefully removed, shaped, cleansed, and then filled. RCT refers to the entire method of extracting the pulp, cleaning it, and replenishing the pulp gap.
​
Steps in Root Canal Therapy
Local anaesthetic is used to anaesthetize the tooth that will be treated. Following that, a small hole is made in the outer section of the tooth with specialised devices to gain access to the pulp, which is located between the enamel and dentin.
​
Small equipment and various chemical solutions are used to completely remove the pulp. With the help of medicaments, the root canal is meticulously cleaned. The next phase is to fill the space [root canal] that pulp previously occupied. The filling is normally done with a plastic filling material that is inert. The tooth's outermost area is also filled, and then a laboratory-made cap / crown is placed over the old crown to prevent it from further deterioration.
RCT is usually done in several sessions. However, with the introduction of improved devices and materials, it is now possible to complete the procedure in a single sitting, depending on the state of the tooth.
