Paediatric Dental Care
What does it mean to be a paediatric dentist?
Paediatric dentists undergo an additional 2–3 years of specialized training after dental school, focusing on the growth and development of children’s teeth and jaws. They are also skilled in managing children’s behaviour at every stage of development.
When should I schedule an appointment with a paediatric dentist for my child?
Before they turn one year old, or as soon as their first tooth erupts, every baby should visit a paediatric dentist. If children and babies begin visiting the dentist at a young age, they are less likely to be terrified.
At least twice a year, children of all ages, including adolescents and teens, should undergo a paediatric dental exam and cleaning. If your child has a dental emergency, cavities, or toothache, you should bring them to bael dentistry.
How does paediatric dentistry keep my kids’ teeth healthy?
Paediatric dentists are specially trained to detect early signs of dental issues in developing teeth, allowing timely intervention before problems worsen. They conduct thorough exams and annual X-rays to check for cavities or any underlying concerns. Healthy baby teeth set the foundation for strong, well-aligned permanent teeth.
They also guide parents and children on proper oral hygiene from the very beginning—like gently cleaning a baby’s gums and first tooth with a soft cloth. Since milk, formula, and sugary drinks can cause cavities, even infants benefit from early dental care.
As your child grows, the dentist advises when to start using a soft toothbrush and kid-friendly toothpaste. They teach children how to brush and floss correctly, helping them build strong habits to keep cavities away.
What procedures are included in paediatric dentistry?
If your child participates in sports, a mouth guard can help protect their teeth.
