What is pediatric dentist?

Pediatric dentists specialise in the oral health of children from infants to teenagers. They have the experience and skills to look after a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth at all stages of development.

Why do you need to take your child to the pediatric dentist at an early age?

Inadequate tooth-brushing habits, incorrect food consumption, and a poor diet during a child’s first two years of life have long-term negative effects on their oral health. Caries that develop in a child’s primary teeth raise the likelihood of caries developing in their permanent teeth later in life.

What are dental treatments for kids?

Being a parent, taking care of your child’s oral health right from the begining is your sole responsibility. Early dental appointments may take care of a variety of dental problems for your child, from preventing tooth decay to preventing cavities.

Here are the list of kids dental treatment to give your child healthy and strong teeth for a lifetime:

• Teeth Cleaning : Our friendly hygienist will perform a professional teeth cleaning using specialised instruments to remove plaque buildup from your child’s teeth surfaces, preventing germs from developing tooth decay, gum disease, and gingivitis.
• Sealants : Brushing and flossing are ineffective in cleaning your child’s hard-to-reach places, back teeth, or molars. To clean them sealants are used. they are thin, protective layer of plastic or other dental materials that attaches to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. It functions as a barrier to teeth cavities. It is quick and painless.
• Fluoride Application : Fluoride application is a dental treatment that can help prevent, delay, or stop the progression of tooth decay. It contains fluoride, a mineral that aids in tooth enamel strength (outer coating on teeth).
  It’s crucial to keep in mind that fluoride won’t completely prevent cavities. Fluoride treatments can help prevent decay when a child also brushes with the right amount of fluoride toothpaste, flosses consistently, has regular dental care and eats a nutritional diet.
• Root canal treatment : Cavities in your child’s teeth can cause pain and infection, spreading to the rest of their permanent teeth. The infection in the pulp, which is the living tissue in the tooth’s roots, is removed during root canal therapy. If your child develops a toothache, the infection may have gone to the pulp and must be treated immediately.
• Orthodontic treatments : For a variety of reasons, such as crooked, overlapping, or overcrowded teeth, or a ‘poor bite,’ your child may require orthodontic treatment. Premature tooth loss, accidents, and habits like thumb sucking can all lead to dental and jaw problems.

If your child complanins of a toothache, or has crooked teeth, or misaligned jaws, or compains severe pain while eating hot or cold, you should visit our paediatric dentist in Trimurti Nagar.
