为什么乳牙如此重要?(脱落牙)

Fallen Tooths

Sometimes called "milk teeth" or "deciduous teeth," your child's baby teeth play a much bigger role than just chewing! Even though they eventually fall out, these first teeth are incredibly important for several reasons:

  • Eating and Nutrition: Healthy baby teeth allow children to chew their food properly, helping them get the nutrients they need for growth and development.

  • Speech Development: Correct tooth positioning is vital for learning to speak clearly and form words correctly.

  • Space Holders for Adult Teeth: Baby teeth act as natural guides, holding the correct space in the jaw for the adult teeth that will eventually erupt. If a baby tooth is lost too early due to decay or injury, the surrounding teeth can shift, potentially causing crowding or alignment issues for the permanent teeth.

  • Self-Confidence: A healthy, bright smile can significantly boost a child's confidence and social interactions.

  • Foundation for Permanent Teeth: Decay and infection in baby teeth can sometimes affect the developing permanent teeth underneath. Keeping baby teeth healthy helps ensure the adult teeth come through strong and healthy.

At Dickson Park Dental Surgery, we emphasise preventative care for baby teeth to ensure a strong foundation for your child's lifelong oral health in Dickson, Canberra.

Fissure Sealants: Protecting Little Smiles from Cavities

Even with excellent brushing, some teeth have tiny grooves and pits on their chewing surfaces, especially the back molars. These "fissures" can be deep and narrow, making them tricky for toothbrush bristles to reach, allowing food particles and cavity-causing bacteria to hide. That's where fissure sealants come in!

What are Fissure Sealants?

Fissure sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of these vulnerable teeth. They act like a tiny shield, sealing off the grooves and creating a smooth surface that's much easier to clean and less likely to trap food and bacteria. It's a quick, painless, and highly effective way to prevent cavities.

Benefits of Fissure Sealants for Kids:

  • Powerful Cavity Prevention: Fissure sealants can significantly reduce the risk of decay in the chewing surfaces of molars, where most cavities in children occur.

  • Painless and Quick: The application process is non-invasive, meaning no drilling or needles are involved. It's a comfortable experience for children.

  • Long-Lasting Protection: With proper care, sealants can protect teeth for many years, though they are regularly checked during routine dental visits at our Dickson, Canberra clinic.

  • Cost-Effective: Preventing cavities with sealants is often much less expensive than treating a cavity with a filling later on.

Our dentists at Dickson Park Dental Surgery will assess your child's teeth to determine if fissure sealants are a good option to help protect their smile. This preventative treatment is often covered by the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) if your child is eligible!
