OVERVIEW<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Keeping primary teeth healthy throughout their functional lifespan.<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Efforts are made to preserve primary teeth until their natural exfoliation time due to their essential roles in nutrition, speech, jaw development, and maintaining space for permanent teeth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Depending on the depth of the caries and the duration the tooth will remain in the mouth, restorations, indirect pulp therapy, pulpotomy, pulpectomy, or extraction can be evaluated. Fluoride varnish may be part of the preventive program based on caries risk. The child’s age, medical condition, pain level, and cooperation influence the treatment plan. Forced treatment is not a routine approach; tell-show-do techniques, gradual acclimatization, and family-centered behavior guidance are utilized. In cases of acute infection or comprehensive treatment, options such as sedation or general anesthesia are considered only with proper evaluation, consent, and safety conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

01<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Caries and development<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Primary and permanent teeth, eruption sequence, caries risk, and necessary radiographs are evaluated.<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
