Pediatric Dentistry
- Dental care of children, from birth to adolescence
- A lot of dental procedures and corrections are best done before adulthood
- From tooth decay to face irregularities
Kids need special care and attention. They are normally treated by paediatricians and are prescribed medicine different from adults, in dose and composition. The same goes when it comes to oral and dental care.
Paediatric Dentistry is the branch of dental science that deals with oral and dental care for children of various age groups.
It is not simple
In the world we live today, oral hygiene in the case of children is quite a challenge. Their transition from milk teeth to permanent ones goes through a lot of pain and confusion. Timely teeth eruption is important in the case of speech and language skill development.
There are various facial deformities that need attention before adulthood and are often acquired by birth. Timely diagnosis, prevention, planning and treatment are essential to delivering the best results.
Serious for Children
In conditions like malocclusion, the upper and lower jaws do not meet properly when the mouth is closed. It may result in biting of lips, tongue etc causing injuries and pain. They also cause problems like speech difficulty.
Along the same lines, misaligned teeth might have a serious impact on a child’s self-esteem. They might become a subject of a joke at such a small age.
Special Care
When it comes to children, they need to feel at home. They need special care and attention and should be able to behave naturally. Special care should be taken on which toothpaste to use, brushing habits, brushing techniques etc.
At Javadent, we understand that treating children is very different and we take every possible step to ensure that the atmosphere and interaction are calm and relaxing. Our expert pedodontists are well trained to handle any sort of complicated situation and challenge.
Working together with the Parents
Unlike other branches of dental science, in the case of children, parents need to be aware of the condition, procedure and treatment involved in each case. When it comes to healthy dental care habits, proper counselling can bring great improvements.
Train them young
It is important to train children in safe and hygienic dental care habits at a young age. This will help them maintain oral and dental health without much pain or confusion in later periods of life. A lot of dental challenges happen because we are not aware of certain practices that could have helped avoid serious problems like dental implants or root canals. They are hard and painful for both children and adults. With proper training and habits in dental care, we will be able to maintain and keep our natural set of teeth for a very long time.
