Pediatric Dental Treatment – Ensure Your Child’s Healthy Smile

Being a parent, there is nothing important than your child’s health and well being. Paediatric dental treatment plays a crucial role in maintaining your child’s oral health, preventing dental problems and providing a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Why is it important?

1. Helps diagnose unseen issues: Dental X-rays provide an insight into the problems which cannot be seen clinically. They help in diagnosis of problems early and reduces the possible complications
2. Cavity prevention: Cavities can be prevented by applying pit and fissure sealant as it reduces the risk of caries exposure
3. Keeps the teeth clean: Cleaning can remove the stains and tartar present on the teeth and thus maintain a good overall hygiene
4. Fluoride level maintenance: Application of fluoride varnish helps to maintain strong and caries free teeth of your child.
5. Saves space for adult teeth: In case baby teeth are lost dentist can give space maintainers to save space for adult teeth

When to Schedule a Pediatric Dental Appointment

• Infants: Schedule a pediatric dental appointment within six months of the eruption of the first tooth.
• Toddlers: Schedule regular pediatric dental appointments every six months.
• Children: Schedule regular dental appointments every six months.
