A: Pulp is the innermost layer of the teeth which contains the nerves and blood vessels. When the decay is extensive, it is necessary to do pulp therapy with a bio-compatible medicinal filling to preserve the integrity of the tooth . This helps to save the tooth and maintain it in the necessary position until the adult tooth is ready to come in. Pulp treatment with white filling/white crown for the front teeth and pulp treatment with a stainless steel crown for the back tooth is usually the treatment of choice in cases of extensive decay of baby teeth.

A: A dental sealant is a protective coating applied onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck within the tooth’s grooves. There is no drilling or anesthesia of teeth involved. We use a special material to clean the teeth and apply the sealant with a small brush onto the grooves of the teeth and using light harden them so they can stay. They are usually recommended once every few years for your child’s back molars to prevent cavities.
