Pediatric Dental Services at Daant Guru
01
Dental Check-Ups for Children
Regular dental check-ups are vital for monitoring the growth and development of a child’s teeth and gums. At Daant Guru, our thorough exams help identify potential problems early, such as cavities, alignment issues, or gum concerns.
02
Preventive Cleanings
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. We also educate children on proper brushing and flossing techniques, empowering them to maintain oral hygiene at home.
03
Cavity Fillings
Cavities are common in children, but they can be easily treated with tooth-colored fillings that restore the tooth’s structure and function. We use materials that blend naturally with the child’s teeth for a seamless look.
04
Early Orthodontic Evaluation
Identifying alignment or bite issues early can prevent more severe problems later. Our team provides orthodontic evaluations and discusses treatment options such as space maintainers or early braces if needed.
05
Treatment for Tongue-Tie or Lip-Tie
Conditions like tongue-tie or lip-tie can affect a child’s ability to eat, speak, or nurse. We offer quick and effective treatments, such as frenectomy procedures, to correct these issues and improve oral function.
06
Management of Dental Anxiety
Many children feel nervous about visiting the dentist. Our team is trained in techniques to help children feel at ease, such as using positive reinforcement, explaining procedures in a child-friendly way, and offering a gentle approach.
07
Habit Counseling (Thumb-Sucking and Pacifiers)
Thumb-sucking and prolonged pacifier use can affect the alignment of teeth and jaw development. We provide gentle guidance to help children break these habits and avoid future orthodontic problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child have their first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit a pediatric dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts. Early visits help in detecting potential issues and establishing a dental home for your child.
Why are baby teeth important if they eventually fall out?
Primary teeth, commonly known as baby teeth, play crucial roles in your child’s development. They aid in proper chewing and nutrition, support speech development, maintain space for permanent teeth, and contribute to a healthy smile that boosts self-esteem. Neglecting baby teeth can lead to decay and infections, potentially affecting the health of emerging permanent teeth.
How can I prevent tooth decay in my child?
Preventing tooth decay involves establishing good oral hygiene practices early on. Begin cleaning your baby’s mouth even before teeth emerge by wiping the gums with a soft, damp cloth. Once teeth appear, brush them twice daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a smear of fluoride toothpaste. As your child grows, encourage regular flossing, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and schedule regular dental check-ups to monitor their oral health.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
In case of a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or oral injury, it’s important to contact your pediatric dentist immediately. Prompt attention can prevent further complications and ensure the best possible outcome for your child’s dental health. For instance, if a permanent tooth is knocked out, keeping it moist and seeking immediate dental care can increase the chances of saving the tooth.
How can I help my child overcome fear of the dentist?
Dental anxiety is common among children, but there are strategies to help them feel more comfortable. Start dental visits early to familiarise your child with the dental environment. Use positive language when discussing dental care, and consider reading books or watching videos about dental visits. Choosing a pediatric dentist trained in managing children’s fears can also make the experience more pleasant.
