Colored fillings

You should start treating teeth in the childhood; in the meantime, it is important to do best, so that the visit to a pediatric dentist does not frighten the child. The tooth-colored fillings are an excellent method to distract and engage the child in order to make his visit to a doctor amusing.

The bright and hard tooth-colored fillings, applied by the pediatric dentists of Oxford Medical clinic, are designed especially for treatment of children.

They have some advantages:

• quickness of treatment – the plastic material of the filling is easily applied on the teeth, and your child will spend minimum required time in the doctor’s chair;
• hardness – the liquid composite, which is the material of the filling, better fills dental cavities, tightly fitting the enamel, ensuring the maximally lengthy durability.
• flexibility -  suitable for treatment of baby and molar teeth, applied for placement of fillings and sealing the fissures;
• durability – the filling can serve up to three years that is a very big period for baby teeth.

One more advantage of the tooth-colored filling is that if it is abraded, it can be easily noticed and treated.

The most important thing is that the process of treatment becomes a game: the child can select the color of the filling and immediately assess the result. At this moment, the child forms interest in his teeth and it is a good reason to teach your child to constantly maintain the oral cavity hygiene.  

In their work, the pediatric dentists of Oxford Medical clinic apply Rainbow Flow tooth-colored fillings, which are supplied in six possible colors: orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink.

In the dentist’s room, the child can select what color of the filling he would like to have. The doctor uses this moment for building up trust relationships with his little patient so that the further manipulations do not make the child form negative associations with the visit to a dentist.

After treatment of the tooth, the filling, which has the half-liquid consistency, fills the cavity and gets aligned by the doctor. The material becomes hard under exposure to the light of special ultraviolet lamp. After that, the dentist demonstrates the child how bright and beautiful his teeth became.

As a result – the happy and satisfied child with healthy teeth, who will return to his dentist with pleasure.

Many parents are confident that there is no need in baby teeth treatment as they will in any case fall out over time. In fact, the injury of the baby tooth can affect surrounding tissues and molar teeth primordia; as the result, their future eruption gets complicated.

The baby teeth are destructed very quickly; that is why the cases, when the baby tooth falls out earlier than the permanent tooth is ready to erupt, are not rare. The absence of one tooth results in the dislodgment of teeth, disturbance of occlusion, problems with the diction and even the change of facial contours. All these problems can be eliminated, but only through the lengthy orthodontic treatment - the child has to wear braces.

To keep your child’s teeth healthy is the main task of pediatric doctors of the Dentistry Department of Oxford Medical clinic.
