At The Braces Point Total Dental Care Clinic, we highly recommend that children should begin visiting a dentist at the age of 3. It is essential to instil good hygiene habits in children from their early, formative years. Regular six-month check-ups are invaluable in ensuring good maintenance of children’s teeth. For the proper development of children, a nutritious diet is vital, and healthy teeth ensure the ability to eat well. Healthy teeth and a happy smile go a long way in developing a positive self-image and confidence in children. Teeth are also crucial for proper speech development. At The Braces Point, we look after all aspects of our little angels’ dental health.
Pediatric Dental Fillings:
Understanding the unique challenges that children face, we at The Braces Point take special care of your child’s dental health. Our pediatric dental experts offer specialized fillings for children that are gentle, durable, and kid-friendly, ensuring a comfortable experience for your little one.
Our compassionate team takes the time to explain the procedure in a child-friendly manner, ensuring your child feels safe and relaxed throughout the process. We prioritize both oral health and your child’s comfort, so you can trust us to provide top-notch dental care for your little one.
Children may require dental fillings under the following circumstances:
- Fillings are necessary for children with cavities caused by bacterial decay of tooth structure.
- Children might need fillings to repair damaged or traumatized teeth.
- Fillings can address tooth pain or sensitivity in children.
- Early signs of tooth decay may lead to fillings to prevent further deterioration.
- Baby teeth with cavities causing discomfort can be treated with fillings.
- Dental fillings help maintain tooth structure, aiding in oral health, chewing, and speech development in children.
Pediatric Root Canal Treatment:
At The Braces Point Total Dental Care Clinic, we understand that children may sometimes require specialized dental treatments. If your child is experiencing severe tooth pain or infection, our pediatric dental experts offer root canal treatments tailored to children’s unique needs.
Our compassionate team ensures a gentle and pain-free experience, making sure your child feels at ease during the procedure. We employ advanced techniques and materials to save and restore your child’s natural teeth, promoting healthy smiles for years to come.
Children might require a root canal under the following circumstances:
- Advanced tooth decay in a child may lead to pulp infection, requiring a root canal to save the tooth.
- Significant dental injuries, such as fractures from accidents, can expose or harm the pulp, possibly necessitating a root canal to treat and prevent infection.
- Severe toothache and pulpitis might call for a root canal to relieve pain and eliminate infected tissue in a child.
- Painful infections or abscesses at a tooth's root can be treated with a root canal, removing infected tissue and preventing further spread.
- At times, a child's poorly developed or traumatized tooth can turn non-vital, lacking sensation and blood supply. A root canal might then be performed to save the tooth by removing non-vital tissue.
Trust our pediatric specialists for root canal treatments designed to keep your child’s smile bright and healthy.
Preserving Space for Permanent Teeth: Space Maintainers for Children:
Premature loss of primary teeth can impact the alignment of permanent teeth, highlighting the importance of space maintainers for children. Our paediatric dental experts specialize in crafting custom space maintainers to ensure the appropriate spacing for incoming permanent teeth, fostering healthy dental development. These devices are designed to be comfortable and tailored to your child’s specific needs.
The Process of Getting Space Maintainers at The Braces Point Total Dental Care Clinic:
- Our specialist dentist will conduct a thorough assessment of your child's oral condition, which may include X-rays to determine the necessity of a space maintainer.
- She/he will discuss the significance of maintaining space and present a space maintainer option.
- Impressions or scans of your child's mouth are taken to create a custom-fitted space maintainer.
- During the next appointment, the space maintainer is carefully positioned in the gap to reserve the space for the incoming permanent tooth.
- The dentist may make necessary adjustments to ensure that the space maintainer fits comfortably and functions effectively.
- Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the space maintainer's effectiveness.
- The space maintainer is removed when the permanent tooth is ready to emerge.
Our caring team ensures a positive experience for your child, prioritizing their comfort and making sure they feel at ease throughout the process. Trust us to safeguard your child’s oral health and promote a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Breaking Harmful Oral Habits:
Assist your child in breaking harmful oral habits with the appropriate habit-breaking appliances. We recognize that habits like thumb-sucking and tongue-thrusting can impact oral development. Our habit-breaking appliances, designed for children, gently discourage and correct these harmful habits, promoting healthy dental development.
Common Habit-Breaking Appliances:
- Thumb/Finger Appliance: This device is cemented onto the upper teeth to discourage thumb-sucking by creating a barrier in the mouth.
- Tongue Crib: Placed behind the front teeth to prevent tongue-thrusting by inhibiting the tongue's forward movement.
- Palatal Crib: Positioned on the roof of the mouth to deter thumb-sucking by making it less satisfying.
- Habit-Breaking Appliance: Combines features of the tongue crib and palatal crib to address multiple habits like thumb-sucking and tongue-thrusting.
- Nail-Biting Appliance: A custom-made device on the teeth discourages nail-biting behaviour by making it uncomfortable.
- Lip Bumper: A wire-based appliance keeps lips away from teeth to prevent lip-biting habits.
- Space Maintainers: Devices used to maintain proper spacing after the premature loss of baby teeth and prevent unwanted habits like tongue-thrusting.
Our compassionate team ensures that your child feels comfortable and supported throughout the process. We prioritize both oral health and your child’s well-being, helping them overcome these habits for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Trust our experts to guide your child toward a positive oral future.
