Baby (Milk) teeth are as important as permanent (Adult) teeth. They play important role in speech and aesthetic. They help in cutting, grinding and chewing food and also guide permanent teeth during eruption.

Sometimes due to lack of hygiene or delayed brushing or any other reason tooth got cavity (decay/holes). At our clinic Renaissance we offer different type of filling like glass ionomer cement (GIC), composite (Laser fillings) etc. Kid’s specialist will guide you which filling suits for your child needs.

Why Baby teeth needs filling?

Many parents has this perception that since it is a milk teeth why we need to do filling for it, eventually it will fall off. So let me clear you, tooth mainly has three layers first-Enamel, second- Dentine and third- Pulp, which contains nerve and blood vessels. If your child got cavity which is restricted to initial two layers it can go for filling once your cavity lesion involves pulp it can’t simply filled. Then it requires for extensive treatment. So it is always better to prevent cavity and should opt for the treatment on time. Once the cavity is there one should go for treatment, no matter its milk teeth or permanent because it’s on going to cure itself and it may lead to more serious issues like pain, pus & swelling etc. If you want to keep your child happy and pain free give him cavity free healthy smile.
