Dental cavities are common among children, but you can effectively treat and prevent them with proper care.

At Névé dental clinic, we have a pediatric dentist specialized in caring for children’s teeth. Our dedicated team provides tailored and attentive dental care to ensure your children’s oral health.

Why are dental cavities common in children?

Dental cavities often occur in children for several reasons:

• Sugar consumption: A diet high in sugars and carbohydrates contributes to the formation of dental plaque and the acidity that attacks tooth enamel.
• Inadequate oral hygiene: Children may struggle to brush their teeth properly, allowing plaque and bacteria to build up.
• Enamel vulnerability: Baby teeth have thinner enamel than permanent teeth, making them more susceptible to cavities.

Symptoms of cavities in children

• Tooth pain: Sensitivity or pain when eating or drinking sweet, hot, or cold foods.
• White or brown spots: Appearance of discolored spots on the teeth. Visible hole or cavity: Visible cavities or depressions on the surface of the teeth.
• Bad breath: Persistent unpleasant odor even after brushing.

Our approach to treating dental cavities in children

Initial examination and diagnosis:

• Comprehensive assessment: Our pediatric dentist examines your child’s teeth to identify cavities and assess the overall state of oral health.
• X-rays: If necessary, we take X-rays to detect hidden cavities between the teeth or beneath the surface.

Personalized treatment options:

• Dental fillings: We clean the cavities and fill them with materials that are safe and suitable for children.
• Pediatric crowns: For severely damaged teeth, we use stainless steel crowns to protect the tooth.
• Fluoride treatments: We apply a fluoride varnish to strengthen the enamel and prevent cavities.
• Dental sealants: We place sealants on molars to protect grooves and fissures from plaque buildup.

Our gentle and compassionate approach

• Child-friendly environment: Our clinic is welcoming and reassuring for children, reducing the anxiety associated with dental visits.
• Pain management techniques: We use modern and gentle techniques to ensure your child’s comfort during treatments.
• Education and prevention: We educate children and parents on the importance of oral hygiene and healthy eating habits.

Preventing dental cavities in children

• Brushing and flossing: Teach children to brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and to floss daily.
• Healthy diet: Limit the consumption of sweets and sugary drinks, and encourage a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
• Regular dental visits: Schedule regular dental check-ups for professional monitoring and cleaning.
