Why a specialist /
Why a pediatric dentist?
After dental school, they trained 2 to 3 more years to treat children. It shows in four ways.
They know how to handle fear
They use techniques for each age, like tell-show-do: explain it, show it, then do it.
Everything sized for kids
With instruments and techniques designed for small mouths, in exam rooms made for children.
They watch how they grow
They keep an eye on how their teeth come in and how their bite develops.
They treat special cases
Children with special needs, and treatment under general anesthesia when it’s needed.
Step by step /If we find cavities
Every step is explained first, to you and to your child.
- 01
Assessment
We check their teeth and, if needed, take X-rays to see how deep the cavity is.
60 min - 02
Written plan
We tell you what each tooth needs, in what order and what it costs.
- 03
Treatment
Tooth-colored fillings if the cavity is small; a pulpotomy and a crown if it has reached the nerve. With local anesthesia and at their pace.
- 04
Follow-up
A checkup every six months, to look after what was done and catch anything new early.
After treatment /
Making it last
A filling or a crown lasts if the teeth around it are cared for. The work continues at home.
How to care for it
- If they had anesthesia, make sure they don’t bite their lip or cheek while it wears off.
- Brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, including where there are crowns.
- Sweets and juice are better with meals than between meals.
- Bring them in for a checkup every six months.
