As with permanent teeth, when milk teeth decay, it is possible to treat them with fillings up to a certain stage. Colored (pink, blue-green) fillings can be applied to milk teeth in order to motivate young children for dental treatment.

Root canal treatment can be performed on milk teeth and permanent teeth depending on the progression of the decay. In addition, ‘amputation’ treatment, which can be described as partial root canal treatment for primary teeth, can also be applied, the treatment phase of which is shorter and simpler than root canal treatment. All these treatments do not prevent the baby tooth from falling out or the permanent tooth from emerging.

REVASCULARIZATION

It is not possible to perform a classical root canal treatment on permanent teeth that have just erupted into the mouth and have deep decay, as root development is still continuing. In these cases, the special treatment applied by a specialist pediatric dentist by disinfecting the canals of the tooth and applying a special medicine to both heal the tooth and continue its development is called revascularization treatment.
