Childhood Tooth Decay
Childhood tooth decay is the destruction of baby teeth that begins with white spots and can quickly progress to painful cavities.
Main causes: frequent consumption of sweets, poor oral hygiene, and irregular dental visits.
Early detection and treatment of tooth decay help preserve healthy teeth and prevent complications.
Pulpitis is inflammation of the tooth’s nerve (pulp), often developing in children as a complication of tooth decay. Children commonly complain of pain, especially at night or while eating.
Symptoms:
Sharp or dull pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Gum swelling, irritability, refusal to eat
Treatment at Dashtoyan Clinic:
We provide gentle and painless pulpitis treatment, preserving the baby tooth until its natural replacement. We use modern materials and tailor our approach to each child.
Periodontitis is inflammation of the tissues around the tooth root, often resulting from untreated decay or pulpitis. Children may experience pain while chewing, gum swelling, and sometimes pus discharge.
At Dashtoyan Clinic, we carefully treat periodontitis in children, eliminating inflammation and preserving the tooth until natural replacement. Treatment is quick, safe, and stress-free.
Gingivitis is inflammation of children’s gums, characterized by bleeding, redness, swelling, and bad breath. It often occurs due to poor oral hygiene, tooth eruption, or misaligned bite.
We gently treat gingivitis with professional cleaning, antiseptic procedures, and educate children and parents on proper oral care.
Enamel hypoplasia is a developmental defect where teeth show spots, grooves, or areas of thin enamel. Teeth become sensitive and vulnerable to decay.
At Dashtoyan Clinic, we restore enamel through remineralization, sealing, and gentle restorations to maintain healthy and beautiful smiles.
Fluorosis is a change in enamel caused by excess fluoride intake during tooth development. It appears as white, yellow, or brown spots, stripes, or mottled enamel.
Causes:
Excessive fluoride consumption from water, toothpaste, or supplements.
