What is pediatric dentistry and why is it needed?

Kids’ dentistry is the branch of dentistry that deals with kids from birth to their teenage years. The teething phase can be terrifying for both parents and children. Involving a pediatric dentist in the process can ease your worries. Apart from teething, children go through different tooth stages, like the emergence of permanent teeth after losing milk teeth or having an extreme love for sweets. Taking them to a dentist from an early age will help them understand the importance of oral health and also prevent any long-term damage to their teeth.

Is there a need for a kid specialist?

Kids dentists specialize in kids’ dental complexities for kids and teens. Kids’ dentistry is a field dedicated to kids’ oral health prevention. Taking your kids to a kid’s dentist is better as they will be able to treat your kids with the attention and care needed.

Prevention treatments

Pediatric dentists also offer prevention treatments like fluoride applications and sealants. Fluoride application treatments at regular intervals will protect the children’s teeth from decay. Fluoride fights the bacteria and plaque that can cause enamel loss, which can further cause cavities. Fluoride, in addition to preventing decay, improves tooth structure and bone growth. Dental sealants will also save the teeth from decay that happens due to food being trapped in fissures and pits of the teeth. These sealants are plastic coatings that are placed on the chewing surfaces of the teeth to protect them from decay.

Treatment options for kids

Root canal treatment
Yes! Even though kids may need root canal treatment, there is no age limit on this treatment. If decay has developed or they have injured permanent teeth, then they need root canal treatment to protect their teeth from permanent damage. It is a simple procedure where the teeth are cleaned and then medication is inserted to maintain the teeth.

Habit counseling
Young kids acquire certain oral habits that can cause temporary or long-term damage to their tooth structure or teeth. There are a few oral habits that should be stopped in childhood if you don’t want them to carry them forward into adolescence, such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, thumb sucking, teeth grinding, nail-biting, lip sucking, etc. Breaking these habits can be hard, so it is advised to consult a pediatric dentist who will help you. The dentist will provide appliances that will help the kids break these habits. Some of the common appliances in kids’ dentistry are headgear, habit-breaking appliances, space maintainers, and, frankly, twin blocks.

What are the treatments offered by a pediatric dentist?

The goal of a pediatric dentist is to maintain good oral health in kids. They offer treatments such as

  • They examine infants to teens and conduct oral caries assessments in kids and mothers.
  • Through habit counseling, they help kids improve their oral habits.
  • They conduct fluoride treatments to avoid staining.
  • Take care of dental cavities and injuries.
  • They correct misaligned teeth too.
