Kids Dentistry - Clove Dental

What is kids dentistry ?

Kids are special and so are their oral needs. Pediatric Dentistry aims at tailoring dental services to meet the unique needs of growing children. Specialized dentists treating these tiny humans are known as Pedodontists. They provide comprehensive, gentle care in a warm and welcoming environment.

Kids Dentistry differs from general dentistry in several key ways. But more than treatment or instruments, the technique to guide behavior and reduce anxiety is of prime importance.

The main goals of pediatric dentistry are to track jaw expansion and tooth development, Regular teeth cleanings, early interceptive orthodontics, preventive care, and dental injury management. Pedodontists or Kids Dentist are concerned with your child’s comfort and welfare at all times.

At Clove Dental clinics, Our experts can restore your child’s smile. Our team of qualified pediatric dentists is here to help, combining exceptional expertise with genuine concern. We provide superior, remarkable care to keep your child’s teeth healthy. We cherish your child’s smiling the most.

Why is Pediatric Dentistry important?

Humans start teething when they are as young as 6 months old. During the age period from 6 months to 6 years, they develop their set of primary ‘milk’ teeth. By the age of 6-7 years, milk teeth start to fall off and a permanent set of teeth starts to appear in the oral cavity. Milk teeth being temporary, many parents tend to ignore dental visits concerning them. However, they fail to realize the importance of the timeline of milk and permanent teeth in the oral cavity.Pedodontists (Kids Dentists) ensure proper dental development and long-term oral health.

Development Importance

Early dental care and intervention are crucial for a child’s growth and well-being. Pedodontists allow early intervention for misaligned bites or crowding before it progresses. Poor oral health since childhood can impact one’s speech, nutrition, self-esteem, and also social interactions.

Long term Benefits

These aim to minimize the risk of future dental issues. It is easier to develop and incorporate good oral hygiene and dietary habits in a child. Habits formed in early childhood lead to better oral health throughout life. Identifying issues like tongue-ties or thumb-sucking allows timely correction

Whole milk teeth are temporary, they form the basis of developing permanent teeth. If proper care is not taken, problems can emerge which will last a lifetime. In recent years, cases of caries in children have grown manifold. Therefore, it is always advised to take care of your baby’s teeth in the very early stages. Just following a good oral hygiene routine and planning regular visits to a pedodontist, yield great results in the long run.

Pediatric dentistry focuses on preventive treatment, achieved via:

Fluoride Treatments

Sealants

Why Do We Need A Kids Specialist?

While General dentists or Children’s Dentists can treat children as well. There are several reasons why visiting a pediatric dental specialist is beneficial:

Specialized Training

              Pedodontists dedicate 3+ years of their lives focused on the dental needs of children. They have extensive
              education and training focused on the Oral health needs of children. Along with knowledge about dental
              issues, their training includes child psychology and behavior guidance.
            

Child-Friendly Techniques

              Pedodontists aim to make the dental visit feel like an adventure instead of a scary experience. They use
              gentle, age-appropriate communication styles to engage kids with stories or games. Their office has
              kid-friendly decor, toys, and rewards to help children feel at ease.
              They employ positive reinforcement and sedation techniques for complex procedures. Along with standard
              preventive and restorative treatments, they also manage common childhood habits. Prolonged thumb sucking
              or tongue thrusting are seen to have negative oral effects.
            

So to sum it up,
Pedodontists ensure a positive introduction to dental care while monitoring oro-facial development. They offer consistent support and guidance from infancy through adolescence. Their specialization allows them to identify issues early on. This helps in addressing them before they potentially become more complicated long-term problems.

Treatment Options for Kids

Prevention Treatments for Kids

1. Fluoride Application
Fluoride imparts anti-cariogenic properties. It strengthens teeth and makes them more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria. Recommended at regular intervals.

2. Pain Management
Local anesthesia, pre-numbing gels, and pain medications alleviate discomfort before, during, and after procedures.

Corrective/Restorative Treatments for Kids

1. Root Canal Treatment in Milk Teeth
If you believe your child is too young to have RCT, you might be wrong. There is no age limit for this treatment. If your kids’ baby teeth have been injured, or are deeply decayed, RCT may be required to preserve the teeth. Root canal treatment removes infection from the pulp and helps to stabilize the tooth until it naturally falls out.

2. Oral Habits in Children Management
Thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, teeth grinding, and other habits have harmful developmental effects. Reminder appliances are called habit-breaking appliances to assist the child in quitting. They may be removable or fixed appliances.
Common Appliances in Pediatric Dentistry:

• Twin Block • Habit Breaking appliances • Frankel • Space Maintainers • Head Gear
