Dr Garg’s Dental Clinic is a premium center for dental care for kids in Delhi NCR region.
Pediatric Dentistry is a dental specialty that concentrates its attention on dental care for kids (infants and children) providing them both preventive and therapeutic oral health care. During the “growth” phase of a child, special approaches are needed to guide the dental growth and development in order to avoid future dental problems.
A common question that parents ask is “Why spend on the maintenance of milk teeth when they are to be finally replaced by the permanent ones?”
Milk teeth are as important as permanent ones
- Baby teeth are important in proper feeding and nutrition.
- Milk teeth serve as space maintainers for the proper spacing and alignment of the permanent teeth.
- Healthy milk teeth are crucial in helping the baby learn how to speak properly.
- Healthy looking teeth are important in building self-confidence at an early age. Small children because of immaturity are quick to tease peers about ugly looking or decayed teeth.
We offer these different kids dentistry services:-
- Kids Root Canal Treatment
- Flouride Applications
- Pit and Fissure Sealants
Kids Root Canal Treatment
In cases where tooth decay extends deep into the nerve portion of the tooth it might be necessary to perform a root canal as described for the permanent tooth. Although the morphology of milk teeth makes the treatment difficult, it might still be considered as a better alternative to tooth extraction.
Kids Fluoride Applications
A child’s teeth are more prone to decay due to a lack of proper dexterity of brushing. The application of fluoride varnishes at regular intervals strengthens the tooth structure by incorporating fluoride ions into the structure making them more prone to acid dissolution. Not only do the permanent but also milk teeth benefit from fluoride treatment.
Pit and Fissure Sealants
The chewing surfaces of teeth are never flat. They have in fact certain depressions called Pit and Fissures which serve as potential traps for food and bacteria making the teeth susceptible to decay.
Although other factors such as dietary habits, oral hygiene, and amount of sugar intake do play an important role, the pits and fissures have been suggested as ” the single most important anatomic feature leading to the development of tooth decay”.
Therefore as a preventive measure, certain pits and fissure sealants are placed.
The decay inhibiting properties of sealants are attributed to the physical obstruction of the pits and grooves. This prevents penetration of fermentable sugars and the bacteria cannot produce acid that causes tooth decay.
The safety and effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants as a decay preventive measure have been confirmed by the American Dental Association.
