At Smile Craft Dental Implant Center, we understand the importance of early dental care in shaping a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our team of dedicated pediatric dentists specializes in providing exceptional dental care tailored specifically for children. Here’s why choosing a pediatric dentist is crucial for your child’s dental health.
Early Detection and Intervention
Pediatric dentists are trained to detect early signs of dental problems such as tooth decay, misalignment, and developmental issues.
Early intervention can prevent complications and ensure proper growth and development of your child’s teeth and jaws.
Preventive Care
Our pediatric dentists emphasize the importance of preventive care, including regular check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments, to maintain optimal oral health.
We educate both children and parents on proper oral hygiene practices, empowering families to establish good dental habits from an early age.
What are the common pediatric dental treatments?
Oral prophylaxis – Cleaning and polishing
Fluoride therapy – Fluoride is topically applied on all sides of the teeth to protect it from dental cavities.
Pit and fissure sealants – Chewing surfaces of the teeth have pits and fissures which are more prone for cavities. These pits and fissures can be sealed with flowable tooth-colored composite material called pit and fissure sealants which will protect the teeth against cavities.
Pulp therapy – when the innermost part of the tooth called pulp which contains nerves and blood vessels get infected due to deep cavities or trauma, pulp therapy is recommended. Pulp therapy involves removing of the infected pulp tissue and filling the tooth with special medicament.
Stainless steel cap – These type of crowns are used to protect the tooth after pulp therapy, fracture and extensive fillings.
Extractions – Extractions in children are recommended when teeth cannot be salvaged due to infection or fracture, before orthodontic treatment, over crowding of teeth and when teeth growing behind other teeth.
Dental fillings – Tooth-colored fillings are used to restore the teeth with dental cavities
Space maintainers – These are the appliances which hold the space for permanent teeth to erupt into place when milk teeth are lost because of cavities.
