Pedodontic Care
Gentle and comprehensive dental care for children to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Nitrous Gas
Nitrous gas, commonly known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective method used in pediatric dentistry to help children relax during dental treatments. Administered through a small mask, nitrous gas induces a calming sensation without putting the child to sleep, allowing them to feel at ease while remaining conscious. This mild sedative is particularly useful for children who experience anxiety or fear during dental visits, ensuring a more comfortable and stress-free experience.
Tooth Color Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are a popular option for restoring decayed or damaged baby teeth. Made from a durable composite resin, these fillings are color-matched to the natural shade of the child’s teeth, providing a seamless, aesthetically pleasing result. Tooth-colored fillings not only repair cavities but also maintain the appearance of a child’s smile, ensuring that dental restorations are both functional and discreet.
Baby Tooth Crowns (Caps)
Baby tooth crowns, or caps, are used to restore and protect a severely damaged or decayed primary tooth. These crowns are typically made from durable materials like stainless steel or tooth-colored ceramic, providing both strength and protection. Baby tooth crowns help preserve the tooth until it naturally falls out, ensuring proper function and alignment while preventing further complications.
Preventative Braces
Preventative braces, also known as interceptive orthodontics, are designed to address potential alignment issues in children at an early age. By gently guiding the development of the teeth and jaws, these braces can prevent more severe orthodontic problems later in life. Early intervention with preventative braces can lead to a more straightforward and less invasive treatment plan as the child grows, promoting healthy dental development and a well-aligned smile.
