Pediatric Dentist Ahmedabad

Pediatric Dentist also known as Pedodontists are dentist specialized thoroughly for 3 years according to Indian Dental association guidelines for treating infants, children and teenagers upto age of 16 YEARS. Just like routine dentist, they also do take care of structures like teeth, gums and jaws in kids – as it is very crucial due to growth stages.

Kids develop their initial milk teeth at the age of 6 months which persist till 6 years of their life. Thereafter occurs a transition of milk teeth to permanent adult teeth till the age of 13 to 14 years of age. It is very important to protect this Milk teeth as further infection in the same can lead to serious consequences to the newly erupting permanent adult teeth just erupting below them.

Doctors recommend taking your child to the dentist 6 months after their first tooth appears, or 12 months at the latest. The first visit typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, and the type of exam and treatment depends on a child’s age.

During a routine oral health exam with a pediatric dentist, you can expect:

A brief discussion of your child’s oral health, brushing, and flossing habits
A complete examination to check the growth of the teeth, gums, jaws, bite, and surrounding oral tissues
Teeth polishing and cleaning to remove any plaque, tartar, or stains

Pediatric dentists don’t X-ray baby teeth unless they suspect tooth decay or need to examine the root of a baby tooth. It’s best that young children do not have X-rays unless it’s medically necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO PIT AND FISSURE SEALANTS WORK

They work wonderfull. Sealants fill the grooves and pits on teeth, creating a smooth surface that is easy to clean and preventing bacteria from causing decay.

Why do children need to see a pediatric dentist instead of a regular dentist?

Pediatric dentists are specially trained to treat children, including those with special needs. They have expertise in addressing the unique dental needs of children, from infancy through adolescence, and provide a child-friendly environment to make dental visits comfortable and positive.

When should I begin cleaning my child’s teeth?

Parents should begin cleaning their child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth appears. Initially, use a soft-bristled toothbrush with water, and as more teeth appear, use a small amount of toothpaste with fluoride.

When should my children first begin visiting the dentist?

Children should visit the dentist for their first checkup by age one or within six months after the first tooth erupts. This helps to establish good oral health habits and identify any potential issues early.
