Our Pediatric Dental Treatments

Filling of Teeth

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay, wear, or minor fractures. The procedure involves removing the damaged portion of the tooth and filling the area with a suitable material to restore its normal function and shape.

Benefits of Dental Fillings

Restores Function: Enables normal chewing and speaking.
Prevents Further Decay: Seals the cavity, preventing bacteria from entering.
Aesthetic Improvement: Especially with composite or ceramic fillings, improves the appearance of teeth.
Longevity: Properly placed fillings can last many years, depending on the material and care.

Dental fillings are a common and effective way to treat cavities and minor tooth damage, helping to maintain oral health and functionality.

Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). This procedure can save teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted and helps to eliminate pain and infection.

When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

Deep Decay: Tooth decay that extends to the pulp.
Repeated Dental Procedures: Multiple procedures on a tooth can irritate the pulp.
Cracks or Chips: Physical damage that exposes the pulp.
Pulp Infection or Inflammation: Caused by deep cavities, trauma, or other factors.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Pain Relief: Eliminates the source of infection and pain.
Preservation of Natural Teeth: Saves teeth that would otherwise need extraction.
Functional Restoration: Restores the tooth's functionality for chewing and speaking.
Aesthetic Improvement: Maintains the natural appearance of the teeth.

Pit and fissure sealant

Pit and fissure sealants are a preventive dental treatment designed to protect the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) from decay. These teeth often have deep grooves and pits where food particles and bacteria can accumulate, making them more susceptible to cavities.

What Are Pit and Fissure Sealants?

Material: Sealants are typically made from a thin, liquid resin that bonds to the tooth surface. Once applied, it hardens into a protective coating.
Application: The resin is painted onto the tooth's chewing surface, filling in the pits and fissures, creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean.
Sealants are an effective measure to protect teeth from cavities and help maintain long-term dental health. If you have questions about whether sealants are right for you or your child, discussing them with your dentist can provide personalized advice.

Habit Breaking Appliance

A habit-breaking appliance for thumb sucking or tongue thrusting is made of thin, metal wire. It's bonded to the back molars and goes behind the teeth so that it's not visible when your child smiles. It also doesn't interfere with eating.

Space Maintainers

A space maintainer is an oral appliance made to “maintain” the space left behind by a missing baby tooth. They are generally made out of metal or acrylic and can either be fixed into the mouth or removable.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride application is a process for preventing tooth decay. It involves the application of fluoride directly to the surface of the teeth to help strengthen enamel and prevent decay.
