Types Of Paediatric Dentistry

Preventive Care

Regular checkups, professional cleanings, fluoride applications, and dental sealants are provided to protect children’s teeth and gums. Preventive care also includes monitoring growth and guiding parents on proper oral hygiene.

Restorative Care

When dental problems occur, restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns, or extractions are performed. These treatments restore function, prevent infection, and maintain the child’s overall oral health.

Causes of Paediatric Dentistry

Children often require specialized dental care due to habits, diet, or natural growth stages. Addressing these causes early helps prevent serious oral health issues.

  • High sugar consumption leading to cavities

  • Irregular tooth growth or delayed eruption

Early intervention not only prevents cavities and gum problems but also ensures proper jaw and teeth development. Timely care helps children maintain confidence, comfort, and a healthy smile as they grow.
