early childhood caries

What Are the Treatment Options for ECC?

Treatment for ECC depends on the severity of the condition and may include:
Fluoride Treatments: Professional fluoride applications can help remineralize and strengthen early carious lesions.
Dental Fillings: For more advanced decay, fillings may be necessary to restore the tooth structure.
Stainless Steel Crowns: These may be used for extensive decay to protect the tooth.
Pulp Therapy: In cases where decay has reached the pulp, treatments such as pulpotomy or pulpectomy may be required.
Tooth Extraction: In severe cases where the tooth is non-restorable, extraction may be necessary.
