Pediatric Dentistry

At Today’s Dental, we understand the unique dental care needs of children from birth to adolescence. As a specialized branch of dentistry, pediatric dentistry focuses on offering preventive and therapeutic care for children, ensuring their oral health is well taken care of. Let us take you through the distinct qualities that set pediatric dentists apart from others.

What Does a Pediatric Dentist Do?

Our pediatric dentists are highly knowledgeable about the tooth eruption patterns and growth and development stages of children. They are skilled at identifying any malocclusions or skeletal problems that may arise and monitor gum diseases that can lead to serious issues in adulthood. Their goal is to diagnose and address these concerns at an early age.

These dental experts are trained to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including genetic diseases and common dental problems like dental caries, gum problems, and developmental defects in the teeth. They also specialize in treating mobile teeth and addressing habits like mouth breathing, lip biting, and thumb sucking, which can have a significant impact on a child’s dental structures. Our dentists prioritize fabricating appliances to intercept these habits before they persist into adulthood.

Additionally, our pediatric dentists excel at managing anxious or uncooperative children. They analyze their personality traits and employ special approaches to ensure a comfortable experience. Techniques like Tell-Show-Do are used to build trust and alleviate any fears during treatment. Furthermore, our dentists have expertise in treating children with systemic conditions and even autistic children, providing the care that other dentists may not be equipped to handle.

Comprehensive Treatment Options for Children

At our dental office, we offer a range of treatment options specifically designed for children. These include:

1. Dental caries and gum problem management: Our skilled dentists use safe and biocompatible materials for fillings. We also perform thorough cleanings and scaling to remove plaque or calculus buildup. Additionally, we apply topical fluorides and sealants to prevent further tooth decay.
2. Nitrous oxide sedation for highly anxious patients: We understand that some children may experience anxiety during dental visits. We offer nitrous oxide sedation, which dental professionals consider the best sedative option for children of any age, to ensure their comfort.
3. Orthodontic treatment: If your child has dental malocclusion or skeletal defects, our dentists will carefully monitor their progress and provide the necessary appliances, such as braces, headgears, chin caps, or space maintainers. These devices promote optimal growth of the jaw bones (maxilla and mandible) for improved alignment.
4. Emergency care for fractured or lost teeth: In the event of dental emergencies, including fractured or lost deciduous or permanent teeth, our team is readily available to provide prompt and effective treatment.
