But a common question\nthat parents have is whether they need to have a pediatric dentist in Castle\nrock repair cavities in their child&rsquo;s baby teeth. Those teeth will be falling\nout anyway, so it seems like a good way to help your child avoid a dental\nprocedure and even save a few bucks at the same time. But you might be\nsurprised to learn that there are many good reasons (both short-term and\nlong-term) to repair cavities on baby teeth. Keep reading to learn more! <\/p><!--more--><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is Treating Decayed Baby Teeth Important?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&rsquo;s true that baby teeth will fall out, but keeping them\nhealthy is crucial to your child&rsquo;s present<em>\nand<\/em> future oral health for the following reasons: <\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Baby teeth guide the development and position of\nadult teeth as a child gets older. If they get large cavities and come out too\nsoon, it can harm the health of those adult teeth and have long-term\nconsequences.<\/li><li>Although baby teeth are eventually lost, they\nstill need to function for many years. If they aren&rsquo;t healthy it can cause\nproblems with the child&rsquo;s speech and ability to chew.<\/li><li>A cavity is really just a type of infection,\nwhether it starts in a baby tooth or a permanent one. If left unchecked it can\nlead to an abscess and spread to larger areas where it can cause bigger\nproblems. <\/li><\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Are Cavities In the Baby Teeth Treated? <\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cavities in children are treated much the same way they are\nfor adults. In the case of small cavities, a dentist will start by removing the\ndecayed tooth structure before placing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.castlerocksmiles.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">tooth\ncolored fillings in Castle Rock.<\/a><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a cavity is larger and has destroyed more of the tooth\nstructure, a crown may be necessary to restore the tooth&rsquo;s size, strength and\nshape. This way, it can function normally for several more years until it\nnaturally sheds on its own to make way for the permanent tooth. &nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Will the Procedure Be Like? <\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pediatric dentist will make your child&rsquo;s comfort a\npriority throughout their appointment. Many children do well with nitrous\noxide, also known as &ldquo;laughing gas&rdquo;, which is breathed through a comfortable\nnosepiece (referred to as a &ldquo;bunny nose&rdquo;).<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This calms and relaxes them before the area is numbed with\nlocal anesthesia. Then the procedure is done quickly and efficiently to\nminimize the amount of time spent in the dental chair. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your child needs more than one filling, a dentist will do as many as they can comfortably tolerate in one appointment. The goal <g class=\"gr_ gr_4 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"4\" data-gr-id=\"4\">is<\/g>&nbsp;to go at your child&rsquo;s pace and make sure they&rsquo;re comfortable at every visit. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By removing tooth decay and making sure your child&rsquo;s baby teeth are healthy, you&rsquo;ll be&nbsp;making sure they maintain great oral health and have a happy, healthy smile for many years to come!&nbsp; <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.castlerocksmiles.com\/layne-benzley-dds.html\">Dr. Layne Benzley<\/a>\nis not only an award-winning pediatric dentist in Castle Rock, but also a\nfather of four.
