PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY- TIMELY CARE FOR YOUR CHILD!!!

Our children behold the future & are live examples of our dreams come true. The old notion that these teeth require no care/attention as they are going to shed, is quite an old belief. Research highlights the esthetic, psychological & an important function of these teeth in mastication & speech development of your child. So a timely advice & treatment at this stage from a trained specialized person in this field, nurtures your child free of any painful nightmares or bad breath.

A Pediatric dentist is a specialized practitioner who provides complete oral health care to children from infancy through teenage. They are specialized to render treatment even to the children with various physical, mental & social handicaps alongwith medically compromising conditions.

We at BDC, have trained specialized Pediatric dentists to render complete oral health care to your child with Tender, Love & Care.

Treating a child not only means free from any disease but also encompasses the mental, emotional & psychological aspect of the child. The increased fear & anxiety in your child may land him in a situation where he is not ready to even get into your dentist’s chair. That’s where the role of a specialized pediatric dentist comes into play.

We provide dental care to your child in a friendly, warm atmosphere. Use of recent materials & technology with complete child as well as parent’s counselling makes us stand out from the crowd. Besides this, use of enhanced audio-visual aids, Intraoral cameras & LCD screen enables the child to see what is going on in his mouth thus enhancing his cooperation.

Your child is special, so are his teeth.... So why not a special dentist for him....

Services that we offer:

1. PREVENTIVE MEASURES:

Prevention has always been better than cure. So with this strategy, we offer a complete diet counselling with complete infant oral health care for your child. Teaching proper oral hygiene care with interesting models & exercises making your child a part of the activity makes him understand things easily & follow them.

USE OF PIT & FISSURE SEALANTS:
These are special materials to seal the most prone area of teeth to dental decay. These are the deep areas of back teeth where even toothbrush bristles cannot reach. Application of these materials on your child’s teeth from 6-17 years of age renders them unapproachable to dental decay. They act as physical barriers, protecting enamel by sealing it from plaque deposition & food accumulation.

Application of these materials is non time consuming, easy & painless for your child.

THE TOPICAL FLUORIDE APPLICATION

This is a recent advent for prevention of dental decay. As researchers all around the world have credited the use of Fluoride with declined dental decay use of these have increased. They provide protection to specifically the surfaces of tooth in contact with each other.

These are flavoured gels where child can chose the flavour of his choice. They usually require two visits in an year (depending on child’s risk for the decay).

2. USE OF CROWNS IN CHILDREN

We render complete esthetic & occlusal rehabilitation for your child’s crippled teeth. Use of advanced restorative materials, techniques alongwith esthetic crowns is a distinguished feature. We use latest esthetic, durable crowns for your child’s front as well as back teeth that provide complete protection.

3. SPACE MAINTAINERS

Early loss of the child’s teeth is a major reason for crowding seen in the permanent dentition. The primary teeth are nature’s way to maintain space for the coming permanent teeth. But if they are lost early this may lead to a disturbed dentition or teeth erupting at abnormal places. So to prevent this, use of fixed / removable space maintainers are advocated. These are of several types chosen according to your child’s need & dental condition.

4. HABIT BREAKING APPLIANCES

Does your child have the habit of sucking his thumb/ finger? Does he have open front teeth? These are the potential reasons for protruding teeth & future developing problems. Use of certain habit breaking appliances to correct these problems can be a smart intervention to prevent any future problem or intercept it at an early stage.

5. CORRECTION OF MINOR TOOTH IRREGULARITIES

Waiting for right age to correct minor tooth problems like crossbites, mild crowding, certain pathologies- like an extra tooth etc is no more advised. Use of recent technologies and latest appliances for timely intervention & correction of these problems save the child & parents from undue problems later in the life.

6. CARE FOR THE SPECIAL CHILD

All children are not lucky enough to be born as normal as we all are. Oral health care for these GOD’s forgotten children requires great expertise & specialization. We at BDC are trained specifically to treat children suffering from such handicap.
So, visit & give your child a chance to explore a new dental world where motive is not just treating your child but preparing him to accept dental care in a fun loving way.... We care & not just treat!!!
