The primary teeth of a child erupt at the age of 6 months which declares the beginning of the dental care period that lasts during the whole lifetime of any person but the childhood phase specifically requires providing a diversified range of children’s dentistry services and solutions by an expert pediatric dentist who is trained to deal properly with children at different age stages.
The fields of children’s dentistry focus on elevating the oral health of a child once primary teeth start erupting by taking care of many aspects which involve:
- Offering the needed dental care for primary teeth that are responsible for many functions (eating & speaking) that carry out into permanent teeth after losing primary teeth.
- Ensuring an adequate space saved for each permanent tooth to erupt properly even in the cases of losing a primary tooth prematurely by utilizing space maintainers (fixed or removal oral appliances) that preserve the space for a permanent tooth while preventing the shifting of adjacent teeth.
- Providing prompt dental care solutions & treatments for (cracked or damaged teeth, cavities, and gum infections) to avoid affecting the main teeth functions of biting & chewing food and speaking permanently.
- Utilizing preventive treatments and solutions (efficient Myobrace appliances) to guarantee the alignment of permanent teeth in desired positions and proper development for the child’s jaws.
- Applying suitable orthodontic treatments (dental braces – clear aligners “Invisalign” – retainers) to handle the issue of misaligned teeth to experience an appealing smile with healthy teeth.
- Reducing the anxiety related to dental visits by communicating properly with each child to encourage periodical visits to the pediatric dentist plus establishing positive oral hygiene habits for enhancing oral health across the child’s whole life.
