Dr. Yasmin Kottait, Pediatric Dentist in Dubai, at myPediaclinic (Voted Best Pediatric Clinic in Dubai) explains how can we deal with tooth decay in children.

There are four ways in which we can solve the problem of early teeth decay in children. We could just not interfere and leave them, taking into consideration that teeth are replaced between the age of 6 and 10 years only.This solution is not effective as teeth decay negatively affects the child’s smile, and self-esteem along with severe pain.

The second solution is to remove the decayed tooth. However, many parents prefer not to. The third solution is to refer to the tooth filling method. However sometimes the filling can fall off or break.

Finally, the best solution is to fix them using Crowns. At Mypediaclinic we have two types of crowns: Steel, and the newly discovered one, Zirconia. Crowns let the children keep their white and natural smile.
