Why Should I Get Pediatric Restorative Dentistry?
Ensuring your child receives pediatric restorative dentistry is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it helps in maintaining oral health by addressing cavities and other dental issues that, if left untreated, could lead to pain or infections. Secondly, restorative dentistry can prevent the misalignment of teeth, which can occur if a lost tooth is not replaced, potentially affecting speech and chewing.
Finally, it boosts your child's confidence by restoring the natural appearance of their teeth, encouraging them to smile and interact without hesitation. At Lake Washington Pediatric Dentistry, we are committed to providing comprehensive care that supports your child’s overall health and well-being.

The Pediatric Restorative Dentistry Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Examination
The first step in pediatric restorative dentistry is a thorough consultation and examination. Dr. Jenny Kramar will assess your child's oral health, discussing any concerns you may have. This evaluation includes a detailed look at your child's teeth and gums, often using X-rays to gain a comprehensive understanding of their dental condition. The goal is to identify any issues early and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child's specific needs.
Treatment Planning
Once the examination is complete, a customized treatment plan is developed. This plan outlines the recommended procedures to restore your child's dental health. Dr. Kramar will explain each step of the proposed treatment, ensuring you and your child understand what to expect. Whether it’s a simple filling or a more involved procedure, the plan is designed to be as comfortable and effective as possible, prioritizing your child's well-being.
Restorative Procedure
The final step is the restorative procedure itself, conducted in a calm and child-friendly environment. Dr. Kramar and her team use the latest techniques and materials to ensure the best possible outcome. Throughout the procedure, your child's comfort is our top priority. We use gentle methods and offer reassurance to help your child feel at ease. After the procedure, we provide guidance on post-treatment care to ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
