Why Child Dentistry Matters
Childhood is the best time to start dental care as it sets the foundation for good oral hygiene throughout life. Children who learn how to take care of their teeth early on are more likely to continue these habits as they grow older. Early dental visits also help to identify any potential dental problems before they become serious and require more invasive treatments.
Common Dental Problems in Children and Our Child Dentistry
Our Child dentistry can help prevent and treat several dental problems that are common in children, including:
Cavities: Cavities are the most common dental problem in children. At Strand Dental Centre, we provide regular cleanings and checkups to help prevent cavities from forming, as well as offer fluoride treatments and dental sealants to protect your child’s teeth.
Gum Disease: Gum disease, or gingivitis, is an inflammation of the gums that can cause redness, swelling, and bleeding. If not treated promptly, gum disease can lead to more severe dental issues. We educate parents and children on proper oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, to prevent gum disease. If your child does develop gingivitis, we can provide treatment to help control and manage the condition.
Tooth Decay: Tooth decay is caused by bacteria that produce acid that eats away at the tooth enamel. Our child dentists help prevent tooth decay by providing fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and educating children and parents on proper oral hygiene habits.
Misaligned Teeth: Misaligned teeth can cause a variety of problems, including difficulty chewing and speaking, jaw pain, and self-esteem issues. We provide orthodontic treatment to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, including braces and retainers.
Dental Emergencies: Dental emergencies such as knocked-out teeth, fractured teeth, or severe toothaches can happen to children. We provide immediate care to relieve pain and save the tooth if possible.
