Treatment of caries in primary teeth

The cost depends on the depth of the lesion and the chosen technique. During the consultation, the doctor will examine the tooth, determine the stage of caries, and suggest the optimal option. The exact price will be given after diagnosis.

By method

Methods of treating caries in children

The method depends on the depth of the lesion, so it is useful to know how they differ.

The instruments and materials used for this type of treatment, laid out on a light surface — an illustration for the "Pediatric Dentist" section

Enamel remineralization

The enamel is saturated with minerals from special preparations, without drilling. The dentist chooses this method when the caries is still at the white spot stage and the tooth surface is not destroyed.

Silver diamine fluoride for baby teeth

A solution with silver ions is applied to the enamel; it forms a protective film and slows the development of caries. This method is used only for primary teeth, and afterwards the enamel darkens.

Resin infiltration

A liquid polymer is introduced into the initial spot, filling the pores of the enamel. Unlike remineralization, here the spot is sealed with a material rather than strengthened with minerals.

Tooth filling

The affected tissue is removed, the cavity is treated with an antiseptic and sealed with a filling. This method is needed when caries has formed a cavity and gentle methods are no longer suitable.

How is the treatment of caries in primary teeth carried out?

Treatment of caries in primary teeth in children differs from adult practice. The doctor assesses the depth of the lesion, the child's age, and their readiness for the procedure. Let us explain how an appointment at a dental clinic is structured.

Stages of caries treatment in a child

StageWhat the dentist doesWhat the child feels
ExaminationAssesses the condition of teeth and gumsUnfamiliar, but not painful
AnesthesiaApplies gel, then gives an injectionTingling, numbness
PreparationRemoves affected tissue with a drillVibration, but no pain
FillingPlaces the filling, polishesTouch, pressure
CheckAdjusts the biteFine

Specifics of filling primary teeth

When a drill is required, the dentist explains to the child what will be done and shows the instruments. Gentle handpieces with small heads and low noise levels are used. Before treatment begins, an anesthetic gel is applied to the gum so that the injection is not felt. This is standard practice, but some clinics use alternative methods of pain relief.

How treatment of primary and permanent teeth differs

Primary and permanent teeth differ not only in their service life. The doctor's approach to treatment will also be different. Let us examine the key differences.

Why is it important to treat baby teeth?

It is a common belief that baby teeth do not need treatment because they will fall out anyway. This is a dangerous misconception. Cavities in primary teeth spread faster than in permanent teeth due to thinner enamel. If the infection reaches the pulp, pulpitis develops. Without treatment, inflammation spreads to the developing permanent tooth germ located beneath the root of the baby tooth. This can lead to enamel formation defects or even death of the tooth germ. Additionally, premature removal of a baby tooth causes adjacent teeth to shift. The permanent tooth then erupts outside the dental arch, and the bite becomes misaligned. Treating early cavities in children at an early stage allows the tooth to be preserved until its natural exfoliation. The cost of treating baby teeth in Almaty depends on the scope of work, but prevention is always cheaper than correcting the consequences.

How to help your child prepare for a dental visit

The first visit to a pediatric dentist often causes anxiety in parents. Much depends on the adults' mindset. A calm tone and honest conversation reduce tension. Preparation begins at home, long before the dental chair.

Tips for parents on preparation

  • Choosing the time: schedule the visit in the morning, when the child is well rested and calm. Fatigue increases fussiness and fear.
  • Playing dentist: at home, count the teeth of toys and look at a dental mirror. Familiar objects reduce anxiety.
  • Honest conversation: explain that the dentist will examine the teeth and perform a cleaning. Do not promise that it will be painless if treatment is needed. Lying undermines trust.
  • No scare tactics: do not use the dentist as a punishment. Phrases like "if you don't brush, they'll drill your teeth" create a phobia.
  • Lead by example: tell them how you visit the dentist yourself. A calm story about prevention, not pain, sets a positive tone.
  • Cost of treatment: find out the price in advance so you don't discuss finances in front of the child. This will reduce your own nervousness.

What to do if the child is afraid?

If the child still experiences fear of treatment, several techniques can help. You can arrange with the doctor for a preliminary introduction: let the child examine the office, sit in the chair, and hold the instruments. This reduces anxiety. Distraction works well: cartoons or toys in the office switch attention. Some children calm down if one of the parents is nearby. In complex cases, the doctor may suggest sedation — inhaling nitrous oxide through a mask. The child remains conscious but relaxed and reacts less to procedures. The decision on how to relieve anxiety is made by the doctor after examination.

Silver diamine fluoride and fissure sealing: what are they?

Cavities in children develop quickly, so it is important to strengthen the enamel in time. Two methods help protect teeth: silver diamine fluoride for baby teeth and sealing for permanent teeth.

Silver diamine fluoride for baby teeth

Silver diamine fluoride is a preventive procedure for baby teeth. A solution with silver ions is applied to the enamel, forming a protective film. The method stops cavity progression at an early stage but does not eliminate an already formed cavity. It is used when the child does not allow the doctor to use a drill, and as a temporary measure. After silver diamine fluoride application, teeth darken, which often worries parents, but it is safe. The procedure is effective only for superficial cavities, without deep tissue damage. The doctor assesses the condition of the teeth and decides whether this method is suitable. The treatment takes a few minutes and does not require anesthesia. Silver diamine fluoride does not replace full treatment, so another approach may be needed later. It is important to understand that this is only a delay, not a solution to the problem.

Fissure sealing of permanent teeth

Fissure sealing is the sealing of natural grooves on the chewing surface of permanent teeth. Plaque often accumulates in these grooves, which is difficult to clean with a brush, leading to cavities. The dentist cleans the fissures, applies a sealant, and cures it with a light. The material fills the grooves and creates a smooth surface that is easier to clean. The procedure is performed on recently erupted teeth, usually in children aged 6–7 years, when the first molars appear. Sealing does not require anesthesia and takes about 15–20 minutes. The sealant contains fluoride, which further strengthens the enamel. The method reduces the risk of cavities but does not replace regular hygiene. The decision on sealing is made by the doctor after examination, as fissures vary in depth and shape. If the tooth is already affected by decay, sealing will not help — a filling will be required.

Dental care after treatment

After the filling is placed, the doctor's work is done, and the parent's work is just beginning. How the child cares for their teeth determines how long the filling will last and whether new cavities will appear.

Hygiene recommendations

  • Brushing: teeth are brushed twice a day — morning and evening — with toothpaste appropriate for the child's age; after eating, rinsing the mouth with water is enough.
  • Toothbrush: a soft or medium-bristled brush is needed, and it should be replaced every three months; after an illness — immediately.
  • Technique: use sweeping motions from the gum to the edge of the tooth, for at least two minutes; pay special attention to the chewing surfaces, where cavities most often develop.
  • Between the teeth: from age six to seven, dental floss may be used; before that age, an adult cleans the spaces between the teeth.
  • Mouthwashes: children's alcohol-free products are used with the dentist's approval, usually after age seven; they complement brushing but do not replace it.
  • Supervision: until age eight to nine, parents should help the child brush their teeth or check how well they brushed; independent oral hygiene at an early age is not very effective.

Diet and habits after treatment

In the first two hours after treatment, avoid eating or drinking so the filling can fully harden. After that, you can return to your usual diet, but with some caveats: hard foods — nuts, croutons, hard candy — create a risk of chipping, so it's best to limit them. Sticky sweets — toffees, caramel, chewing gum — pull out the filling material and get lodged in gaps, provoking cavities. Carbonated drinks and acidic juices soften the enamel around the filling, making it vulnerable. If a child bites their nails, pencils, or other objects, this habit should be gently discouraged: it overloads the tooth and can lead to chipping. Comprehensive treatment of cavities in children includes not only placing a filling but also teaching proper eating habits. With moderate cavities in children, special attention is paid to nutrition in the first days after treatment so the filling doesn't shift or fall out. Regular dental check-ups every six months help spot problems in time and preserve the result for the long term.

What equipment is used in the clinic?

Diagnosis and treatment of baby bottle tooth decay in children in Almaty require precise equipment. Its quality determines how comfortable the appointment will be for a young patient.

Modern diagnostics

Several devices are used for examination and treatment planning. An optical microscope with 25× magnification allows the doctor to see the early stages of decay and carefully treat the cavity without affecting healthy tissue. Cone-beam computed tomography provides a three-dimensional image of the jaws, which is especially important in complex cases when the condition of the roots and the buds of permanent teeth needs to be assessed. The 3Shape intraoral scanner replaces impression materials: it creates a digital model of the dental arch in a couple of minutes, and the child doesn't have to endure an unpleasant mass in their mouth. Images and models are stored in the electronic record, so parents can see exactly what is happening with the teeth and understand why a particular procedure is needed. Using modern technology helps the doctor work more precisely and gently.

Treatment equipment

  • Laser: allows cavities to be treated without vibration or heat, which reduces discomfort in children.
  • Class B autoclaves: sterilize instruments after each patient, eliminating the risk of infection.
  • Microscope: gives the dentist up to 25x magnification, so fillings are placed more precisely and last longer.
  • Tomograph: helps assess the condition of the roots and the buds of permanent teeth before treatment begins.
  • 3Shape scanner: creates digital impressions, which speeds up the process and makes it comfortable for the child.

Who treats children's teeth at the clinic?

Pediatric appointments are handled by a doctor with specialized training. They know how to talk to a child and when to stop. Treating cavities in baby teeth is their daily work.

The pediatric dentist and their specialization

A pediatric dentist is a doctor who has completed a residency in the specialty 'Pediatric Dentistry.' They understand the anatomy of baby and mixed teeth, how a child behaves in the chair, and what to do if a young patient is frightened or won't engage. Such a doctor knows how to manage their attention: first get acquainted, show the instruments, explain what will happen, and only then begin work. Filling front baby teeth requires particular care: their walls are thin, and the roots diverge to make room for the buds of permanent teeth. A mistake in technique can damage the bud, so the pediatric dentist works slowly and under control. They often also handle prevention: selecting toothpaste, teaching how to brush, and applying fissure sealants. If a specialist's help is needed, the doctor refers to a colleague but stays nearby. A pediatric dentist is not just a doctor but a person who knows how to build trust. This determines whether the child will go to the dentist next time without tears. That is why choosing such a specialist should be approached responsibly.

Team of specialists

  • Pediatric dentist: — treats cavities and their complications, provides preventive care, and knows how to connect with a child.
  • Orthodontist: — corrects the bite, selects plates and braces if the teeth are growing unevenly.
  • Surgeon: — removes teeth that cannot be saved, trims the lingual or labial frenulum, and treats inflammation.
  • Anesthesiologist: — is present during appointments when sedation or general anesthesia is needed, and monitors the child's condition.
  • Hygienist: — performs professional cleanings, removes plaque, and teaches the child how to care for their mouth.

Key points

Key points for parents

It is important for parents to understand that tooth decay in baby teeth is not just a cavity, but a source of infection that can affect the developing permanent teeth. Treatment at an early stage is faster and more comfortable for the child. Do not delay a visit to the dentist if you notice white or dark spots on the enamel. Regular check-ups every six months help identify problems at an early stage, when treatment is minimally invasive. Remember that baby teeth require care just like permanent teeth, as they preserve space for future teeth and play a role in bite formation. Caring for children's teeth is an investment in the health of the entire oral cavity for years to come. Therefore, do not neglect preventive visits and teach your child proper oral hygiene from an early age.

Prevention and Regular Check-ups

Prevention of tooth decay in children includes daily oral hygiene using age-appropriate fluoride toothpaste and monitoring sweets consumption. Regular check-ups with a pediatric dentist allow assessment of enamel condition, professional cleaning, and, if necessary, sealants. At the clinic on Satpayev Street, 133/6, appointments are available daily from 9:00 to 20:00, which is convenient for working parents. The initial examination and treatment plan are free of charge, allowing you to meet the doctor and discuss all questions without financial obligation. Remember that prevention is always easier and cheaper than treatment, so do not skip recommended visits. Regular care for your child's teeth will help avoid many problems in the future.

I ended up here by chance because I was nearby (I couldn't believe it myself) — they redid the root canal under a microscope and polished it until it stopped catching. Nurlan laid out the plan in detail.

After the pandemic, I hadn't been to the dentist for about three years. I found a clinic near my home. I've never regretted it. They treated a cavity on a molar, with anesthesia, and I didn't feel a thing.

Came here on a colleague's recommendation. The only thing was that the receptionist took a long time to find my file. I was treated for pulpitis, two visits, and they took a follow-up X-ray at the end. The filling isn't visible, the color matches, and so far no complaints. They know their stuff here. They set up my file right away and only asked for my ID once — a small thing, but nice.

I spent a long time choosing a clinic and read reviews all over the city. The tooth doesn't bother me, there's no sensitivity to cold, and that's the main thing (I couldn't believe it myself). Nurlan knows his stuff. To be honest, I expected the worst. They treated a cavity on a molar and polished the filling at the end.

I spent a long time choosing a clinic and read reviews all over the city. To be honest, I went in feeling like I was heading to my execution. In short: it was good.
