The goal of paediatric dentistry is to treat and prevent oral diseases in children and teens. In order to prevent dental issues in the future, certain methods must be used to direct dental growth and development during a child’s “growth” phase.
Our Popular Children's Dental Treatments
Kids are more susceptible to cavities due to the soft and developing nature of their enamel, along with the increased exposure to sugary snacks, fast food, and sweet drinks that easily lead to tooth decay. Routine check up and clean can both thoroughly clean as well as catch any underlying dental issues early on.
Regular kids dental visits allow us to monitor their bone growth patterns. Detecting the problems early with emerging teeth or jaw misalignment can also mean any orthodontic treatment required can be completed in a shorter time frame. This allows for a wider choice of treatment options to be considered.
Tooth sealants or fissure sealants are the protective barrier that fills the grooves of back teeth, making them easier to clean. Applying them to the biting surface of back teeth where the cavities are most commonly found can prevent the teeth from getting caries.
Fissure Sealants is a tooth-colored resin material used to fill in the grooves and cracks of the biting surfaces of children’s teeth to prevent tooth decay starting in these hard-to-reach places.
