LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR THEIR FUTURE HEALTH

The right dental care for children is of paramount importance. It is one of their core establishers of proper health. The fact that oral healthcare in children is deeply interlinked with their well-being is indisputable. It is only natural therefore, to want services of the finest quality when it comes to the welfare of your young ones.

We assure just that. Our panel of well-established Pediatric Dentists makes sure that your child’s journey to perfect oral health is a happy and comfortable one.

It is common knowledge that children associate dental visits with fear and anxiety. Recognizing that, we have carefully curated every step of our approach to guarantee a wholesome and positive experience for your child!

Our philosophy is fairly simple. We lay great emphasis upon preventative and proactive dentistry, to ensure that your child does not have to undergo any major dental work in the future. Our time spent in educating children regarding various habits builds in them a strong foundation of oral well-being. We identify detrimental habits such as mouth breathing, thumb sucking etc and offer constructive solutions that help remedy them before they cause any serious destruction to their oral and general health. This also minimizes the need for major reconstructive work in the subsequent years.

READJUSTING OUR APPROACH

Tending to a child is never the same as tending to an adult. Children come with their own set of apprehensions which must be taken into account while treating them. Communication is the key here. Our team of pediatric dentists have been trained to communicate effectively with children and put them at ease. One of our aims is to educate them on the importance of oral hygiene and good habits.

With various behavior guidance techniques in place, we ensure stress-free visits for both the child and the parent.

For example, before we start any appointment, we carefully assess the child’s cooperation level on that day. We incorporate creative solutions like storytelling to engage the child. It is as important to us as it is to you that your child’s dental experiences are relaxing and enjoyable!

PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

Ignoring fundamental dental care in the formative years can lead to serious complications in the future. Dentistry for children begins to get challenging as and how the quantity of work involved increases. To avoid this, we heavily advocate preventive dentistry. We believe children shouldn’t have to experience the pain of tooth decay, damage or sensitivity to warrant a dental visit, when they can be avoided by precautionary measures.

Our Pediatric Dentists administer a teeth cleaning procedure using fluoride gel. They recommend a child get this treatment every 3-6 months. Fluoride increases the inherent strength of the enamel of the tooth decreasing the chances of decay.

Additionally, using sealants in the deep grooves of teeth (which act as catchment for bacteria and food) prevent the formation of cavities, and dental decay. This is a simple 10 minute procedure which, if done regularly, greatly fortifies your child’s dental foundation.

Part of our preventive process is education on at-home dental practices. We educate both the child and the parents regarding proper brushing techniques based on the age of the child. Our specialists also offer diet modification counseling to ensure that foods injurious to dental health are eliminated.

INFECTION CONTROL

It is a common misconception that milk teeth don’t need dental attention as they are meant to fall off and give way to permanent teeth. This is far from the truth. Milk teeth are natural space maintainers, which are vital to a child’s oral maturation. They are essential in developing the child’s occlusion, for chewing, and for speech development. If infected before their time of exfoliations, milk teeth can cause a lot of damage.

We offer a comprehensive range of treatments, which ensure total infection control. This prevents decay from percolating into permanent teeth.

RESTRAINT ON ANTIBIOTICS AND UNNECESSARY MEDICATIONS

We have a very strong view on the abuse of antibiotics. We vow never to prescribe antibiotics or any medications unless absolutely necessary. Unwarranted medications come with several side effects, and we would never jeopardize your child’s well-being, since most infections can be treated effectively at the source (teeth).

STRICT STERILIZATION PROTOCOLS

We follow with utmost precision, the most rigorous sterilization processes in order to prevent secondary and cross infections. Our standards of sterilization are in accordance with international protocols?

DECAY CONTROL IN A GROWING CHILD’S JAW

Very often, teeth can decay to a point where basic remedial measures like cavity fillings may not be enough. If allowed to go unchecked the infection breaches the hard structures of the teeth and reached the pulp of the tooth which has a network of blood vessels. For adults, decay of this stage would require a root canal treatment. For children however, this can be treated by a simple pulpectomy procedure followed by a crown which restores the shape and function of the tooth.

INDIRECT PULP CAPPING, FILLINGS, FLUORIDE RELEASING FILLINGS

Apart from infection control, our preventative measures prevent the decay of teeth. Filling the teeth with white, tooth friendly, fluoride-releasing materials prevents decay to reach the core of the tooth (pulp). This not only spares your child from unnecessary pain, but the fluoride release maintains the tooth’s inherent strength.

ESTHETICS FOR LITTLE TEETH

There is nothing more precious than the smile of a child. Rampant decay in the front teeth can hamper a child’s self-esteem and leave them feeling low in confidence. Here, we can design a brand new smile for your child by rectifying the damage done by decay. This also helps with speech development.

HABBIT CORRECTION

Rectifying habits like thumb sucking and mouth breathing at an early stage can prevent crooked teeth, and subsequently eliminate the need for braces altogether. We recognize conditions like sleep apnea which are the root cause of habits such as mouth breathing. While mouth breathing may not seem like a critical problem, it actually affects a child’s sleep pattern, the regulation of oxygen in their system as well as their concentration level in school. Counseling the parents about such habits is a part of our pre-orthodontic approach to ensure healthier smiles for children.

TRAUMA

Children are fairly active by nature, which sometimes causes them to have minor accidents. Fracturing of the front teeth, permanent tooth fall out or even chipping off of teeth can be traumatic experiences for children. Our pediatric dentists are well equipped to promptly deal with such situations. We aim to either place the fallen tooth back into the jaw, or build the bone structure in a seamless manner, so that the child is never conscious of the lost tooth.

ORTHODONTIC CARE

We have an esteemed panel of highly trained orthodontists who provide fixed, semi-fixed and removable orthodontic care for children of all age groups, starting as early as 4 years of age for the correction of non-aligned teeth. A lot of parents reserve orthodontic care for their children till their permanent teeth erupt. We however, believe that we can straighten crooked teeth at all age groups for our young patients.

What is gum disease?

Gum disease or periodontitis starts with bacterial growth and infection in the tissue that hold your teeth (gums). In some cases, it spreads below the gums to infect the bone that supports the teeth. Gum disease is seen in various stages, from a mild condition (gingivitis) that is easily reversible to severe forms (periodontitis) that requires more comprehensive treatment.

Why should you treat gum disease immediately?

Signs of gum disease can be seen in certain regions or across the entire gums. These include:

• Red gums
• Swollen gums
• Painful gums
• Gums that are receding or pulling away from the teeth, making them appear longer than before
• Loose or shaking teeth
• Pus in the gums
• Bad breath which is persistent

Like most dental diseases, gum disease is a progressive disease. In the initial stages, the infection is limited to the gums. If left untreated, this gradually spreads to the bones supporting the teeth and starts eroding them. Eventually, the teeth lose their vital bone support and start shaking. At this stage, one may experience difficulty in performing simple tasks like chewing and munching, and also suffer from persistent bad breath.

Therefore, the sooner the treatment is sought, the lesser is the damage done.

How do you treat gum disease?

Various treatment procedures include:

• Scaling and polishing
• Root planning or curettage
• Flap surgery
• Gingival grafts (periodontal plastic surgery)
• Bone grafts

NEGLECTED YOUR TEETH FOR YEARS! WE WILL TURN BACK THE CLOCK FOR YOU

Full mouth reconstructions (rehabilitations) are needed when the oral health as a whole has deteriorated due to multiple dental problems. As complex as it may seem, such cases can be treated to produce flawless results and restore the oral function back to normal if the treatment is planned well and executed by skilled specialists.

While planning such cases numerous factors are taken into consideration such as the patient’s primary and secondary problems, their expectations, their existing medical and oral condition and of course their time and budget constraints if any to arrive at the most practical treatment plan for a particular case.

The success of such cases depends upon the microscopic precision of the work executed and therefore we have a highly skilled set of specialists who have received advanced training from the U.K. and and U.S.A. to exclusively perform such complex procedures.

IN DEPTH CONSULTATION

The first appointment of a consultation / examination, is a very important process before initiating any dental procedure. After a thorough evaluation of your oral health, the doctors would explain the same to you and formulate an ideal treatment plan for your case. The time required for the completion of the treatment and the exact fee estimate would be clarified during this appointment.

Various alternative treatment plans would be given to you as well to suit your budget and time constraints if any. All your doubts and queries would be solved by the doctor at this stage and this first appointment serves as a platform for a healthy doctor – patient relationship.

After this appointment, you can choose to proceed with the further treatment only if you feel comfortable as there are no obligations for the same. Only a one time consultation fee would be charged.
