Color in my Teeth
Early treatment of carious lesions in deciduous teeth is necessary for the maintenance of oral health. One reason for this is that the kids who show little or very poor home-care compliance are also the ones who are afraid of dental treatments. It is indeed a very challenging task to motivate these little ones to receive an effective treatment all the while. But there’s one interesting way of motivating them by using bright-colored fillings. A special material from USA is now commercially available in India to make the Dentist’s life easier. When it comes to providing an incentive to those children who are less nervous and who simply refuse treatment on purpose, the deciding factor is the colored filling.
By allowing the young patient to choose the color of a restoration gives him or her an opportunity to take part in the procedure that makes the nervous count of the child much lesser than the usual. In order to give the children a better idea of what a tooth with a colored filling looks like, and to make it easier for them to choose, a color palette would be available to them to pick their favourite shade. Some of the materials have glitters and sparkles as well, which means there’s a wide range of fillings to choose from.
Some advantages of this treatment are:
- Attractive colors available like pink, blue, green, orange etc
- Quick and simple application
- Very high acceptance by kids
- Children lose their fear in the dentists’
- Fluoride release against secondary decay
- Excellent material properties
We at Crown Corner have come up with this brilliant way of as a valuable motivational tool in order to increase our little patient’s compliance for the dental treatments.
