Pediatric Dentistry
What Does a Pediatric Dentist Do?
Preventive Dental Care
Good eating and dental habits reduce the chance of cavities. Pediatric dentists do checkups, clean teeth, apply sealants and fluoride, help stop thumb-sucking, and teach proper brushing and flossing.
Education
Pediatric dentists teach kids with models, computers, and simple words. They focus on keeping teeth healthy. They also give parents advice on preventing diseases, avoiding injuries, eating well, and taking care of teeth at home.
Evaluation
Pediatric dentists track a child's growth to catch dental issues early. They act quickly to prevent problems from getting worse. Early treatment helps kids feel better about themselves.
Intervention
Sometimes, pediatric dentists discuss early dental treatments with parents. For injuries, bad bites, or teeth grinding, they might use a space maintainer, recommend a night guard, or arrange for repair surgery.

Pediatric Dentistry FAQs
Your child should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. This helps in spotting any potential issues early and gets your child used to visiting the dentist.
Just like adults, children should visit the dentist every six months for regular check-ups and cleanings. However, your dentist might suggest more frequent visits if there are specific concerns with your child’s teeth.
Absolutely! We encourage parents to be a part of their child’s dental journey and remain with their child throughout the visit for comfort and reassurance.
Good oral hygiene is key. Teach your child to brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, encourage healthy eating, and make sure they visit the dentist regularly.
Absolutely! Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and help with proper chewing, speaking, and smiling. They also play a crucial role in the development of the jaws and face. Keeping them healthy is vital for your child’s overall health and well-being.
First, rinse the affected area with warm water and check if there’s anything stuck between the teeth. If pain continues, apply a cold compress and call your pediatric dentist for advice. Avoid putting aspirin on the tooth or gums.
Thumb-sucking and pacifiers can be soothing for children, but if these habits continue as the permanent teeth come in, they can cause problems with tooth alignment and proper mouth growth. Your dentist can offer strategies to help wean your child off these habits.
