Rebuild and Strengthen Damaged Teeth with Pediatric Restorative Dentistry

We try everything to keep your child’s smile healthy, but decay and damage can still occur. Good news! Pediatric restorative dentistry in Burlington, Vermont, can repair the damage and restore much-needed functionality and comfort. Whether it’s a pediatric crown or filling, you can expect a fast, painless experience at Champlain Smile Solutions.

Why does my child need restorative dental care?

We provide comprehensive preventive services for pediatric patients, but mishaps can still occur. Here are reasons why your child’s teeth may need repair.

  • Tooth decay: Cavities in children are common for several reasons, including poor oral hygiene and a love for sugary foods. Without treatment, cavities can progress and result in tooth loss. Early treatment saves your child from unnecessary pain and further tooth damage.
  • Tooth damage: Your child’s teeth are strong, but that doesn’t mean they are indestructible. Accidents or chewing on hard substances can cause broken or cracked teeth.
  • Wear and tear: Excessive tooth grinding and acidic erosion can wear down enamel over time, causing pain and sensitivity.

It’s tempting sometimes to ignore tooth damage, especially if it doesn’t cause pain. Unfortunately, dental issues tend to progress without proper treatment. Thankfully, pediatric restorative dentistry repairs and prevents further damage, helping teeth last longer.

What restorative treatments are available for children?

Treatment isn’t an option when damage occurs because the situation will likely worsen. However, Drs. Matthew and Kay Giulianelli are committed to helping your child’s teeth remain healthy and functional as long as possible with the following procedures.

  • Tooth-colored fillings: As a parent, you may be surprised that your child needs a dental filling. However, this simple restoration may be necessary to repair cavities and minor tooth damage. Our fillings are made from composite, which is renowned for its aesthetics and durability. The process of placing fillings is simple and painless.
  • Pediatric crowns: The dentist recommends a dental crown when the damage is too significant for a dental filling. Our crowns are crafted with premium materials that provide the best durability and aesthetics.

 We prioritize your child’s comfort during dental restoration procedures. Combining gentle care with advanced pain management techniques ensures a stress-free and positive experience for your little one.

What are the benefits of restorative dentistry?

Many patients ask why restore baby teeth, yet they’ll fall anyway. However, preserving these deciduous teeth as long as possible is vital because they serve several functions.

Some include:

  • Speech development: Teeth, especially those in the front, are essential in speech articulation. Healthy teeth help children form words and sounds correctly.
  • Chewing: A full set of teeth aids in proper chewing, helping your child enjoy a wide selection of foods.
  • Placeholders for permanent teeth: Early loss of baby teeth can impact the healthy eruption of permanent teeth, potentially causing misalignment issues later on.
  • Aesthetics: Healthy, fully restored teeth help maintain your child’s beautiful smile.

Restoration doesn’t just save baby teeth. It resolves pain, allowing your child to enjoy the simple joys of life without discomfort.
