What is Paediatric Dentistry?
Paediatric Dental Care or Paediatric dentistry is a sub-division of dentistry in which prominent dental care will be given to children from birth through adolescence. Pediatric dental care is the most critical aspect as children won’t be aware of dental problems and also children usually neglect proper oral hygiene. Danta Vaidhya is the best dental clinic in KPHB which offers Child Dentistry services with the best and most accurate results.
What is the importance of Paediatric Dental Care?
Paediatric dental care mainly deals with the protection of your child’s primary teeth, securing the teeth from decay, and preventing various dental diseases. Oral hygiene is most important in kids to avoid teeth and gum-related issues. The oral hygienic process should begin from the infant stage. For bottle feeding or nursing infants, a proper dental hygiene regimen must be implemented to prevent their early teeth. Before teeth eruption in infants, wipe of the gums carefully with a soft wet cloth or a gauze.
The paediatric dentist monitors the child’s teeth at the time of check-up and they will make sure to remove plaque build-up and food debris that are stuck in teeth. This prevents the excess growth of bacteria, inflammation in the gum tissue, and tooth decay. Visiting a paediatric dental clinic is more helpful to protect your child’s teeth. Paediatric and preventive dentistry can help preserve your kid’s teeth safe from various tooth and gum problems.
