Pediatric Dentistry is a speciality of dentistry which is concerned with the maintenance and care of child’s dentition. We human beings have two set of teeth. The Primary Dentition (Milk Teeth) and Permanent Dentition (Permanent Teeth). Maintenance of Milk teeth is vital for the proper growth, development & eruption of Permanent teeth. A prematurely lost milk tooth or a over-retained milk tooth can both be a cause of malocclusion (improper bite).
Because a child cannot be expected to understand the significance of oral hygiene maintenance it is essential that he/she undergoes six monthly dental evaluation to detect dental decay or any other abnormality in the child’s dentition at an early age. We at Smiles & Braces believe that PREVENTION and INTERCEPTION are the two principles on which a child’s dental care be based on. Some of the commonly performed child care procedures in our clinic are-
1. Dental Filling.
2. Fluoride Application to prevent tooth decay.
3. Sealant Application to prevent & intercept caries.
4. Root Canal Treatment (RCT).
5. Crown for badly damaged tooth
6. Prevention of habits like thumb sucking, mouth breathing etc.
7. Preventive Orthodontic Treatment
8. Growth modulation of jaws with Orthopedic & Functional Appliances
9. Space maintainer for prematurely lost milk tooth.
10. Monitoring growth & development of jaws & teeth.
