Children's Dentistry
Children's dentistry, also known as pediatric dentistry, focuses on the oral health of infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special healthcare needs. It is a specialized branch of dentistry that addresses the unique needs and concerns associated with the dental care of young patients.
01
Preventive Oral Hygiene Instruction
This includes proper brushing, flossing and eating habits, ideal fluoride levels and the use of pit and fissure sealants. We strive to provide a fun, educational environment whose children learn about the importance of good dental hygiene.
04
Emergency Treatment
While our goal is to prevent dental emergencies, we understand that the need for urgent dental care is sometimes necessary and can be a stressful experience for both parents and children. We strive to handle dental emergencies promptly and with compassion.
02
Restorative Dentistry
This includes children’s fillings, crowns and prosthesis, including treatment of the often devastating nursing bottle decay. We are committed to discussing all options before these procedures and answering all questions you may have. Always working for the goal of a healthy smile is our first priority.
05
Early Intervention
Pediatric dentists are trained to identify and address dental issues in their early stages. Early intervention can help prevent more serious problems and promote proper dental development.
03
Monitoring Dental Development
We monitor the growth and development of children's teeth and jaws. They may recommend orthodontic evaluations if there are concerns about the alignment of teeth or the development of the bite.
06
Counseling on Habits
We will provide guidance on habits that can impact oral health, such as thumb-sucking, pacifier use, and the effects of diet on dental health.
National Health Service (NHS) recommends to take your child to the dentist when their first milk teeth appear. This is so they become familiar with the environment and get to know the dentist. We will advise you on how to prevent decay and identify any oral health problems at an early stage. Just opening up the child's mouth for the dentist to take a look at is useful practice for the future.
