- Teeth may become misaligned if baby teeth fall out too early.
- A space maintainer would be introduced to keep the space until the eruption of the permanent tooth.
- We use surface anesthesia to make anesthesia as painless as possible.
- For those who have a special fear of pain, we may recommend treatment under laughing gas.
Pediatric Dental Treatment Flow
We perform oral examination and x-rays to determine the cause of pain and abnormalities in the alignment of the teeth
On the first day, we usually do not perform any treatment unless it is an emergency, and we will discuss your wishes for future treatment while deciding on a treatment plan.
It could be an introduction of an oral device, or caries treatment.
Optimal treatment with minimal pain is our priority. We try our best to keep our clinic a friendly place for the kids to visit.
Fluoride application and sealants (prophylaxis for grooves in permanent teeth)
We will suggest a diet and tooth brushing habits that are less likely to cause tooth decay.
We will also provide information on appropriate intervals for regular checkups and dental cleanings
