We know that nothing matters to you more than your child. We understand how important it is to get the right and comfortable dental care that your child needs.
Start them young and introduce them to a fun and positive dental experience! Our team of specialist pediatric dentists has been well trained to handle babies, toddlers, and kids through various gentle approaches and techniques.
As parents, we play an important role in keeping our children’s oral health a priority. We're here to personally guide you on how to encourage your kids to adopt good oral hygiene habits and ensure they receive proper nutrition.
We recommend booking an appointment with one of our specialist pediatric dentists as soon as the first tooth erupts or when the child turns one year old. Caring for baby teeth helps in the proper development of adult teeth, preparing your child for great dental health throughout their entire lifetime.
In the early stages, cavities don't always cause pain or exhibit noticeable symptoms. That's why regular dental check-ups and preventive care are so crucial – they help steer clear of any painful or traumatic experiences for your little one.
There are several ways to help protect your child from oral health problems, including fluoride varnish, sealants and routine dental cleaning. Sealants are a quick, safe, and pain-free way to shield your child’s back teeth from cavity-causing bacteria. Fluoride keeps your child's teeth strong and more resistant to decay. Routine dental cleanings help prevent the buildup of plaque and gum disease.
Dental sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your child's back teeth, acting as a barrier to provide extra defense against cavities.
Fluoride treatment for children is a quick, painless way to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities.
Children unable to tolerate dental treatment due to age, anxiety, special needs, or extensive dental work may require general anesthesia for comfort.
Laughing gas, a mild and safe sedative administered through a mask, helps children relax and feel comfortable during dental procedures.
Endodontic treatment saves your child's natural tooth by removing infected pulp, cleaning the interior, and sealing it to prevent reinfection.
Crowns are recommended for children with badly decayed, fractured, or weak teeth, particularly after cavity treatments, pulpotomy, or pulpectomy.
Space maintainers are custom-made dental appliances designed to hold open the space created by a prematurely lost baby tooth.
Habit breakers help children break free from thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, and other poor oral habits.
Palatal expanders gently widen a child's upper jaw, creating space for proper teeth alignment and addressing bite issues.
You can use any soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head. These are especially designed for infants and must be used at least once a day before bedtime.
Primary teeth are important because they help your child to speak properly and chew normally. These baby teeth also prepare the space when it’s time for the permanent teeth to grow.
Rinse the affected area with warm salt water and apply a cold compress on your child’s face in case it is swollen. You can give your child some over-the-counter medication such as acetaminophen for pain relief. Avoid placing aspirin on the kid’s teeth or gums. And of course, visit your pediatric dentist as soon as possible.
From birth, you can begin cleaning and massaging your child’s gums with a soft infant toothbrush or a clean cloth with water. As soon as the baby teeth erupt, you can start applying a smear of fluoride toothpaste on the child’s toothbrush.
When the child turns 3, you can increase the amount to a pea-sized dollop and make sure you assist him/her while brushing. Make sure to let your kids spit out the excess toothbrush after brushing.
If your child needs to nurse to fall asleep, refrain from putting anything other than water in their feeding bottle. In case your baby falls asleep while feeding, remove the bottle when he/she stops sucking. Slowly introduce your child to drinking from a cup at six months. Make sure to regularly brush and floss your kid’s teeth as soon as two primary teeth are touching.
If your child has been thumbsucking and using the pacifier for a long time, this might cause some problems on the way their teeth would line up. While most kids stop these habits on their own, your pediatric dentist may recommend a mouth appliance if your child finds it difficult to stop the habit.
When you prepare your child’s meals, make sure to include one serving of each: fruits and vegetables, bread and cereals, milk and dairy products, as well as meat, fish and eggs. Limit the serving of sugary and starchy foods to protect your child’s teeth from decay.
Dental sealants are used to protect the crevices of the chewing surfaces of the teeth. These prevent any food particles from getting stuck on teeth which may eventually cause cavities. Your pediatric dentist may recommend dental sealants as a painless and preventative way to protect your child’s teeth for a long time.
