Kariesvorsorge bei Kindern

Tooth Decay in Children

We aim to effectively prevent early childhood caries and counteract early-stage decay. In children too, food residue and saliva form dental plaque.

Without thorough oral hygiene and the right brushing technique, this biofilm settles on the teeth. Together, we show children and parents the right brushing technique and seal fissures at risk of decay when needed.

Das Wichtigste auf einen Blick

  • Auch bei Kindern entstehen aus Nahrungsresten und Speichel Zahnbelag und Plaque, die frühkindlicher Karies Vorschub leisten können.
  • Ohne gründliche Mundhygiene und die richtige Putztechnik setzt sich dieser Biofilm an den Zähnen fest.
  • Kindern und Eltern wird gemeinsam die passende Putztechnik gezeigt.
  • Kariesgefährdete Fissuren können bei Bedarf versiegelt werden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do baby teeth with cavities actually need to be treated?
Yes, baby teeth should also be treated for tooth decay, as they act as placeholders for the permanent teeth and treatment avoids pain or inflammation.
How does tooth decay develop in baby teeth?
Food residue and saliva form plaque, which, without thorough oral hygiene and the correct brushing technique, sticks to the teeth and can lead to tooth decay.
How can I prevent tooth decay in my child?
We show children and parents together the right brushing technique and seal cavity-prone fissures if needed, to effectively prevent early childhood tooth decay.

Fillings

KinderzahnheilkundeIf tooth decay develops, the tooth can usually be treated well. With baby teeth, quick action is especially important, since decay spreads faster there and reaches the tooth nerve more quickly.

We offer high-quality fillings for both baby teeth and permanent teeth. We explain every treatment step to your child in an age-appropriate way, and we agree on the right therapy together with you.

Baby Tooth Crowns

If decay in a baby tooth is already quite advanced, the tooth sometimes needs more extensive treatment.

In such cases...

the tooth nerve is partially removed if necessary (pulpotomy)

and the tooth is then stabilized with a prefabricated baby tooth crown

This way, the baby tooth can often be preserved until the natural tooth change.
