Our Service

Pediatric Dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health care needs.
Infants and children are not immune to oral health problems. There was a report found that dental caris (tooth decay or cavities) is the most chronic childhood ailment – five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than bay fever.. Also, it is found that tooth decay is the most chronic disease among children aged 5 to 17. Oral health problems affecting infants are no less serious..
Here is the list of dental care necessities from birth on up that our pediatric dentists can help:-

1. Baby Teeth Cleaning : children should be encouraged to brush their own teeth once they have the co-ordination to do so
2. First Dental Visit : it is important that your child see a dentist by age one to establish a long-term dental hygiene and professional dental cleaning plan.
3. Dental Sealant Application : dental sealants are used to protect teeth from decay and are appropriate as soon as a tooth erupts
4. Fluoride Treatments : check with your dentist and water authority about the need of fluoride treatments. Fluoride is a major component in the prevention of childhood dental caries. This is because fluoride alters the molecular structure of the tooth, making it more resistant to acid attack and decay. However, children require the right balance of fluoride treatment. Too much fluoride could be problematic and lead to fluorosis.
5. Dental Flossing : parent-assisted dental flossing should commence when two teeth erupt next to each other. Independent flossing should occur when children have the ability to do it on their own (often by six years of age)
6. Mouth Washing : mouth washing is usually recommended by age seven, provided your child can perform the activity
7. Orthodontics : orthodontics maybe appropriate by seven years of age

However, please keep in mind that these age ranges are estimates only
