Cavities are an infectious and contagious form of tooth decay.
Cavities are the result of one or more of the following factors:
Once you see that your child has symptoms of cavities , you should immediately contact a pediatric dentist.
Une dent cariée (qu’elle soit primaire ou définitive) doit être soignée. Le traitement dépendra du degré de progression de la carie, mais le principe est de remove the decay and then restore the tooth.
En plus de son expérience médicale, Dr Agachi dispose de plusieurs moyens pour diagnostiquer la carie et son stade de développement, même lorsqu’elle est invisible à l’oeil nu ou sur une radio.
Intraoral cameras help enhance what we see through autofluorescence and chromatic amplification. En d’autres mots, elle colorie la dentine malade en rouge, dépistant ainsi des caries souvent invisibles sur les radiographies.
Our digital X-ray machine records retro-alveolar images that precisely reveal the structure of teeth as well as the presence of cavities.
Dr. Agachi employs advanced surgical loupes that magnify and enhance regions of tooth decay up to 100x, revealing details invisible to the naked eye and X-ray!
What matters most to us is the health of your children’s teeth. That’s why we offer an entire range of treatment options specially adapted for children, that are designed to be natural, painless, and non-invasive.
Currently, conventional dentistry is in the process of evolving towards more natural treatments that incorporate the innate healing abilities of the tooth’s hard tissues.

Pour enlever une carie débutante, nous n’avons même pas besoin de fraise!
Instead, we use a device specially designed to gently treat beginning cavities.
In certain cases, we can also treat the cavity with flouride.
La carie étant toute petite, il n’y a souvent pas besoin de restauration complexe.
Lorsque la carie progresse, il est temps de lui mettre un « stop »! Nous utilisons le laser afin de l’éliminer à minima et sans inconfort.
The hole left behind is then filled with the tooth restoration material that is best adapted to your child (monomer-CVI or composite glass cement).
La carie ayant atteint la dentine, il est important de réaliser un traitement aussi conservateur que possible. Pour cela, nous utilisons une fraise spéciale en céramique qui ne peut enlever que la dentine malade. Dès qu’elle est en contact avec de la dentine saine, elle s’arrête!
Once the decay is removed, we protect the dentin and fill the hole with a composite whose characteristics match those of the tooth as closely as possible.
Attention! Nous ne faisons pas de « plombages » au cabinet.
It's therefore absolutely necessary to treat baby teeth as soon as they become affected. In cases where cavities are exceedingly deep, we we do everything possible to prevent the loss of a baby tooth.
Pulpotomy: the tooth is living
We perform a pulpotomy to remove any affected pulp tissue within the crown of the tooth.
Afterwards, a special material is placed to prevent bacterial growth and calm the remaining nerve tissue. This treatment maintains the vitality of the affected tooth.
This is followed by a final restoration involving materials such as glass ionomer cements or composite fillings.
If the tooth decay was excessive, a preformed pediatric dental crown is placed over the tooth.
This is followed by a final restoration involving materials such as glass ionomer cements or composite fillings. If the tooth decay was excessive, a preformed inlay-onlay is placed over the tooth.
Pulpectomy: the tooth has died
We perform a pulpectomy is necessary when the pulp tissu is necrotic. In this case, it is completely removed, both from the crown and from the root. The canals are cleaned and disinfected prior to restoration.
Dans le cas d’une dent de lait, à ce stade, nous enlevons la dent et réalisons un mainteneur d’espace en attendant la dent définitive.
Alternatively, it's possible to fill the canal with a resorbable material and then cover the tooth with a custom pediatric dental crown.
With permanent teeth, the canals are filled with a non-resorbable material and then covered with an inlay/onlay.

Air abrasion is used to treat cavities in their beginning stages without drilling and without pain.
Lasers can replace the need to drill, allowing for gentler, more precise treatments.
Nous utilisons des fraises spéciales en céramique qui n’enlèvent que la dentine malade couche par couche.
Il s’agit d’un mélange gazeux, administré à l’aide d’un masque pour détendre votre enfant sans l’endormir.
We use an intraosseous anesthesia, which precisely targets the affected region, eliminates pain entirely, significantly increases comfort levels, and avoids numbing your child’s lips, tongue, and cheek so there is no risk of biting oneself.

To do this, she the restoration material that is best adapted to your child (monomer-CVI or composite glass cement). Both options are also aesthetically designed materials, and have many other valuable qualities outside of their resilience:
We use special surgical drapes called umbrellas to create an isolated environment during treatment. This is an elastic barrier stretched around the tooth that:
