Kids Dentistry

There’s a world of difference between adults and kids, and so is their dental care. Pediatric dentistry is a dedicated field focused on children, their oral health prevention, and preparation for a healthy future. At Dr. Navdeep Dental Care & Facial Service, we offer a friendly, safe, and warm environment for your child’s dental care. Early detection and treatment can make a big difference in maintaining your child’s dental health. We provide preventive, interceptive, and corrective treatments for children with a caring approach. These include routine check-ups, treating tooth decay, correcting irregular teeth, regular fluoride applications to prevent decay, and nutrition counseling. Bring your child in for a wellness visit and set them on the path to healthy teeth.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR KIDS
Root Canal Treatment in Milk Teeth
If you think your child is too young for root canal treatment, think again—there’s no age limit for this procedure. If your child’s baby (primary) teeth have been injured or if decay has advanced deep into the roots, root canal treatment may be necessary to stabilize and save the teeth.

Oral Habits in Children
Children often develop certain habits that can be harmful to their teeth and surrounding structures, either temporarily or permanently. Common oral habits include thumb sucking, mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, lip biting, teeth grinding, and nail biting. At Dr. Navdeep Dental Care & Facial Service, we use habit-breaking appliances, which can be either removable or fixed, to assist children in overcoming these habits, even when they’ve become ingrained at the subconscious level.

Prevention Treatments for Kids
a) Fluoride Application:
Decay is a common reason parents bring their children to the dentist, often due to children’s limited dexterity when brushing. To help prevent decay, we recommend regular fluoride application treatments. Fluoride strengthens the tooth structure, helps fight plaque and bacteria, and promotes bone growth. This treatment benefits both baby and permanent teeth by incorporating fluoride ions into the tooth structure, making them more resistant to decay.

b) Sealants:
The pits and fissures on back teeth, like molars and premolars, can trap food and bacteria, leading to decay. To prevent this, we apply pit and fissure sealants as a protective measure to safeguard these vulnerable areas from bacteria and food particles.
