Doctors who perform Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric Dentistry: frequently asked questions
Do baby teeth need treating if they will fall out anyway?
Yes. Decay in them causes pain and can affect the permanent teeth and the space in the jaw.
When should my child first see a dentist?
Preventive visits are advised early, after the first teeth come through, with your dentist setting the schedule.
How do I handle my child's fear?
Positive preparation and repeated familiarisation visits reduce fear considerably.
What are fissure sealants?
A protective layer placed on the biting surfaces of molars to reduce bacteria collecting in deep grooves.
