Kids Dentistry/Pediatric Dentistry
Dealing with children on the dental chair is a specialized task which required professionals (Pedodontics) who have training and experience in dental care for kids. At The Dental Story, we have best Pedodontics with us to ensure that children receive the best possible dental care. This is done through special behavior management practices which involve encouraging the child and eliminating absurd fear of the dentist’s chair.
At The Dental Story, the highly specialized team has relevant education and is trained to care for children of all age groups from infancy through adolescence, including those who require special dental care. As the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry says, “a child should make their first trip to the dentist by his/her 1st birthday”.
At Dental story we our motto is “Prevention is better than cure” and hence we very strongly feel and advocate the need for every child to visit a dentist at a very early age. It is essential to teach a child not to fear the dentist. The younger a child is when introduced to the dental office, the easier it is for him to develop a positive thought to it. If the dental health of child is maintained at early age is less likely to face dental issues later in life. That is here role of parents becomes very important and they should keep a close eye on the eruption and shedding of milk teeth.
- Oral Hygiene Instructions
To develop good oral habits in kids is a task for most of the parents. The major reason why kids undergo cavities is non-effective brushing. At Dental story in Delhi, the doctors guide the parents and educate a child in a fun way to keep his growing year’s cavity free.
- Nutritional Counselling
We all know kids and their love for junks and sweets. The second major reason for the cavities to occur is snacking. We provide education about which all foods can cause cavities, as well as ways to modify your child’s diet to minimize the risk of getting cavities.
- Preventive Fluroide
One of the components that make up our teeth and bones is a mineral called hydroxyapatite, which also happens to give them their rigidity. However, this hydroxyapatite is susceptible to demineralization under influence of acids and chemicals, which could lead to tooth decay.
Applications of fluorides convert this mineral into fluor hydroxyapatite which is very strong and prevents demineralization of teeth due to acids and chemicals. Besides, it also reverses early decay and re-mineralizes the tooth surface.
Fluorides are made available to our tooth in two ways:
Systemic way / Diet: Through the blood stream which get incorporated in growing teeth.
Physical application: Fluorides are applied on teeth by the dentist or the patient himself.
Fluorides, available in various forms of gels, varnishes or foam are used by our dentist to make your kid’s teeth cavity free.
