Pedodontics is a specialisation in its own right — treating children the way children need to be treated, not as small adults.
A patient listener, very cooperative, good at service, joyful, positive in approach. Strongly recommend.Nikita Desai — Google review
Pedodontics is dentistry for children, delivered by a dentist trained to treat children in a way they relate to. It covers sealants, fluoride, tongue tie, fillings, root canals on milk teeth, and early orthodontics.
Pedodontics is dentistry for children. It is a specialised branch in which the dentist is trained to give dental care in a way children relate to. Unlike adults, children have specific dental needs and have to be approached differently. Childhood is also the time good oral habits are formed — or not.
A band of tissue connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When it is very fibrous it restricts tongue movements that matter for breastfeeding, sucking, swallowing, eating, drinking, chewing, breathing, speech, jaw growth, posture and digestion. It is often missed.
Pit and fissure sealants on milk teeth for children prone to cavities, and topical fluoride gel applied at the clinic to reduce the tendency to decay.
Fillings, tooth-coloured fillings and root canal treatment where needed.
Preventive orthodontics is indicated when a child has habits such as thumb sucking or lip biting. These habits cause the upper front teeth to procline — to angle forward — which leads to speech problems, mouth-breathing habits and poor aesthetics.
Corrective orthodontics is then used to correct irregular or malpositioned teeth, correct the bite, and improve the child’s dental and general health. We aim to give the child the best option while keeping them comfortable and confident throughout.
They matter more than people assume. Keeping milk teeth in good condition allows the permanent teeth to erupt in the right position — losing them early lets the neighbouring teeth drift into the space, and the permanent tooth then has nowhere to go. What looks like a minor problem at six becomes orthodontics at twelve.
Keeping them healthy allows the permanent teeth to erupt in their natural position, protects the child’s speech, and matters for their psychological wellbeing. Losing them early lets neighbouring teeth drift into the gap.
