Child Dentistry
Child dentistry, also known as pediatric dentistry, focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and teenagers. It involves preventive care, early diagnosis, and treatment of dental issues to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Early Dental Care
- The first dental visit is recommended by the age of one or when the first tooth appears. This helps in monitoring oral development and preventing future dental problems.
Preventive Treatments
- Includes fluoride applications, dental sealants, and regular cleanings to protect against cavities and gum diseases.
Cavity & Tooth Decay Management
- Kids are more prone to cavities due to their diet and oral hygiene habits. Treatments like fillings and crowns help restore teeth.
Orthodontic Evaluation
- Early assessment of teeth alignment can help detect issues that may require braces or other orthodontic treatments.
Education & Habit Formation
- Pediatric dentists guide parents and children on proper brushing, flossing, and diet habits to maintain good oral hygiene.
Managing Dental Anxiety
- Child-friendly environments and gentle techniques help kids feel comfortable and develop positive associations with dental visits
