Promoting and maintaining good oral health in children

Children’s dentistry, also known as paediatric dentistry, focuses on the oral health and dental care of infants, children, and adolescents. Introducing children to regular dental visits and proper oral care from an early age helps establish healthy habits that can last a lifetime. It instils the importance of oral hygiene and preventive care, reducing the risk of dental problems in the future.

At Aesthetic Dentistry, our Paediatric dentists are specially trained to provide comprehensive dental care tailored to the unique needs of children, creating a positive and comfortable dental experience for young patients.

Key Aspects of Children's Dentistry

Preventive Dental Care

Prevention is a cornerstone of children’s dentistry. Paediatric dentists emphasise the importance of regular dental check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments to prevent dental problems such as cavities. They also provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and a balanced diet to maintain optimal oral health.

Dental Examinations

Paediatric dentists perform thorough dental examinations to monitor the growth and development of a child’s teeth and jaws. Regular check-ups allow for the early detection and treatment of dental issues, such as tooth decay, malocclusion (bite problems), and developmental abnormalities.

Dental Cleanings

Professional dental cleanings are performed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth. Paediatric dentists use specialized tools and techniques that are gentle and suitable for children, ensuring a comfortable experience. Regular cleanings help maintain healthy teeth and gums and prevent the onset of dental problems.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars). They act as a barrier, sealing out bacteria and food particles, and help prevent cavities in these vulnerable areas. Sealants are a safe and effective preventive measure, particularly for children prone to tooth decay.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Paediatric dentists may recommend fluoride treatments, such as topical applications or fluoride varnishes, to provide additional protection for a child’s teeth. These treatments are safe and help prevent cavities.

Dental Education

Paediatric dentists educate children and their parents about proper oral care techniques and habits. They teach children the importance of brushing and flossing, healthy eating habits, and the consequences of poor oral hygiene. By promoting dental education, paediatric dentists empower children to take responsibility for their oral health.

Behaviour Management

Paediatric dentists are skilled in managing children’s behaviour and creating a positive dental experience. They use child-friendly language, gentle techniques, and a friendly approach to build trust and reduce anxiety. Techniques such as tell-show-do, positive reinforcement, and distraction techniques are employed to ensure a calm and comfortable dental visit.

Early Orthodontic Evaluation

Paediatric dentists assess the alignment and development of a child’s teeth and jaws. They can identify potential orthodontic issues at an early stage and refer patients to orthodontic specialists if necessary. Early intervention can help correct bite problems, reduce the severity of orthodontic treatment, and improve overall oral health.

Emergency Dental Care

Paediatric dentists are equipped to handle dental emergencies that may occur, such as toothaches, dental injuries, or infections. They provide prompt and appropriate care to alleviate pain and address the issue effectively.
