Who may be suitable?
- Children with decay, pain or infection in primary teeth
- Those who have had trauma to primary teeth
How does the process work?
- The situation is assessed with an examination and, if needed, X-rays.
- The dentist explains the treatment suited to the child's age and the condition of the tooth (filling, root canal, extraction, etc.).
- The procedure is planned according to the child's cooperation.
After treatment and care
Until the anaesthetic wears off, make sure the child does not eat or bite the lip or cheek. Continue brushing and keep up with check-ups.
