What is kids' Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry, also known as kids’ dentistry, is a dental specialty that focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence.

Kids Dental Care is the preventive care of children’s teeth and mouth. It helps to ensure that your child develops healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime of good oral health.

Types of Procedures

The procedures and techniques used in pediatric dentistry are designed to meet the unique needs of children, who often require a different approach than adults regarding dental care.

There are a number of procedures that may be performed in pediatric dentistry, including:

Cleanings and Exams

During a cleaning, a dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums. An exam by a dentist will follow, during which the dentist will check for any issues with the teeth and gums, such as cavities or gum disease.

Fillings

If a child has a cavity, the dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the resulting hole with a filling material.

Extractions

If a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, the dentist may recommend extracting it.

X-rays

These are important for diagnosing oral diseases in children like cavities or cysts; they help determine whether or not a root canal may be required for a damaged tooth or even detect cancerous cells before they can cause any harm!

Sealants

A sealant is a thin coating applied to the grooves on the surface of the molars to help prevent cavities.

Orthodontic Treatment

Children may need orthodontic treatment to correct misaligned teeth or jaws. This may include the use of braces or other appliances.

Precautions

It’s essential to follow certain precautions to help ensure the safety and effectiveness of pediatric dental procedures. For example:

  • Follow any instructions the dentist or dental staff provides, such as instructions for caring for the teeth and gums after a procedure.
  • Keep up with regular check-ups and cleanings to help prevent dental problems from developing.
  • Encourage your child to brush and floss regularly to help maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Use fluoride toothpaste to help prevent cavities.
  • Limit sugary snacks and drinks, as they can contribute to the development of cavities.
