Restorative Care
Why Might My Child Need Restorative Care?
Oral health issues can follow people for all their lives, so it’s really important to stay on top of your child’s dental needs. In some cases, restorative treatment might be necessary when your child is dealing with some dental problems like cavities, chipped teeth, or even infections.
Even with a good oral hygiene routine, these dental problems can still appear and affect the health of your child’s teeth, which is why it’s so important to make routine visits to the dentist’s office from a very early age.
Restorative Treatment Options for Children
Composite Dental Fillings
If your child has a cavity, the dentist will remove the decayed area and fill the hole with a composite dental filling to restore their oral health. The goal is to return the decayed tooth back to its normal esthetic, form, and function.
Pediatric Dental Crowns
These can be necessary for bigger cavities that can compromise a tooth beyond the effectiveness of a filling and a crown is needed in order to restore the integrity of the tooth, but also to repair a broken or chipped tooth, or a primary tooth that hasn’t grown correctly.
Space Maintainers
These are used to hold the space left by a baby tooth until the primary tooth can grow, making sure the child won’t have misaligned teeth later on.
Pulpotomies
If there’s a baby tooth with a severe cavity, a pulpotomy can remove the decayed tissue that has likely reached the nerve, causing pain. Often times these are referenced by dentists as a “baby root canal.”
Extractions
Baby teeth can be extracted before they loosen on their own to allow the primary teeth to grow better, reducing misalignment problems and other dental issues. Also, when a tooth cannot be saved due to severe decay, infection, abscess, or trauma, we end up needing to remove it.
Silver Diamond Fluoride (SDF)
A liquid that can be brushed onto a cavity to stop decay. This may be beneficial for younger children, children with special needs, and it may be used to delay dental more invasive procedures until a child is older.

Restorative Dentistry for Children
We take pride in providing top-notch restorative dentistry. Restorative dentistry is a subspecialty that focuses on restoring the health and functionality of your child's smile after a tooth injury, tooth decay, or tooth loss. To address your child's specific dental needs, we provide a variety of therapeutic dental treatments.
Parents and guardians can help these treatments go well. Therefore we welcome you to take part and read the information below to discover more about the processes and how you can assist.
Reasons for restorative dentistry:
Dental Fillings and Crowns
Our pediatric dentists may use a dental filling to treat tooth decay in your kid. This is used to fix light to severe tooth damage.
If your child's tooth has been weakened by decay (for instance, if it has a cavity) or if it has had mild chipping or fracture, we may advise getting a filling.
When a tooth is significantly decaying, we may need to put a dental crown specially made to restore the tooth's size and form.
Local Anesthesia
Local anesthetic is occasionally used to lessen or entirely remove pain during your child's operation. If a local anesthetic is required, dr. Cho will ensure your kid is as comfortable as possible.

What to expect at your first visit
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child visit the dentist by his or her first birthday and for sure when that first tooth emerges. You can make that visit enjoyable and positive by informing your child of the visit and giving them some idea of what to
expect. Be sure to remind your child that the dentist and their staff will be friendly and explain all procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do about the visit, the better. Please don’t use words around your child that might incite fear. Words such as “needle”, “shot”, “pull”, “drill” or “hurt” should be replaced by words that we use to convey the same message, but are pleasant and non-frightening to the child.
We start by building trust
You are welcome to stay with your child during that first exam. However, during future appointments, we ask that you trust us and allow us to work with your child when you are not present. Our purpose is to gain your child’s confidence and overcome apprehension. This allows
us to build a trusting relationship with your child that will pay dividends in the years to come. For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children who are not being treated should remain in the reception room with a supervising adult.
