Understanding Pediatric Dentistry
Delayed Teething
In children, delayed teething isfairly common, butregular monitoring is essential to ensure healthy development. A minor delay may not be a cause of concern, leaving it unaddressed canlead to potential oral health and development issues. Timely consulting a pediatric dentist helpsensure early detection of any underlying problems and supportsappropriate dental growth and alignment.
Misaligned Teeth
Misaligned teeth in children are often due to genetics, habits like thumb-sucking, or early tooth loss. While common, they can affect chewing, speech, and confidence. Early dental evaluation ensurestimely intervention. At Teeth and Gums, wemonitor alignment closely and recommend orthodontic care when needed to support healthy oral development.
Dental Caries & Tooth Decay
Although milk teeth are temporary, proper care is essential. Kids are attracted to sugary diets with inconsistent oral care, which leads to cavities and toothaches.
At Teeth and Gums Dental Clinic, we offer quality tooth decay treatment, as young teeth are more vulnerable to plaque buildup and bacterial exposure. For severe tooth decay cases, we may use calcium hydroxide in pediatric dentistry to help treat the damaged tissue.
Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment in pediatric dentistry focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaw issues early to ensure proper oral development. It includes braces, space maintainers, and habit-correcting appliances.
At Teeth and Gums Dental Clinic, we offer personalized orthodontic care for children, using gentle techniques and modern tools to guide growing smiles, improve bite function, and boost long-term dental health and confidence.
