Tooth decay in children
We aim to effectively prevent early childhood caries and stop emerging initial decay at an early stage. In children too, plaque and biofilm form from food residues and saliva.
If this biofilm remains undisturbed because oral hygiene and brushing technique are insufficient, it becomes established on the teeth. We practise the correct brushing technique together with children and parents and seal at-risk fissures where necessary.
Das Wichtigste auf einen Blick
- Frühkindlichem Karies soll wirksam vorgebeugt und beginnende Initialkaries frühzeitig gestoppt werden.
- Auch bei Kindern entstehen aus Speiseresten und Speichel Zahnbelag und Plaque, der sich bei unzureichender Mundhygiene festsetzen kann.
- Kinder und Eltern werden gemeinsam in der richtigen Putztechnik angeleitet.
- Bei Bedarf werden gefährdete Fissuren versiegelt.
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 sufficient 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 practise the correct brushing technique together with children and parents and seal cavity-prone fissures if needed, to effectively prevent early childhood tooth decay.
