  • What are the common issues of dental health in children?

    Common dental health issues in children include tooth decay, gum disease, tooth sensitivity, and dental trauma. Habits like thumb sucking and prolonged pacifier use can lead to misaligned teeth. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene practices are crucial to address these issues early and maintain your child’s oral health.

  • How should I care for my baby's teeth?

    To care for your baby’s teeth, start by cleaning their gums with a damp cloth before teeth emerge. Once the first tooth appears, use a small, soft-bristled toothbrush with a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste. Brush twice daily and avoid sugary drinks, especially before bed. Schedule their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth emerges. Provide a balanced diet and limit sugary snacks to promote healthy teeth.

  • What is pulp therapy?

    Pulp therapy, often referred to as a “baby root canal,” is a dental procedure used to treat infection or decay in the pulp of a tooth, which is the innermost part containing nerves and blood vessels. The procedure involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, disinfecting the area, and then filling and sealing the space to preserve the tooth’s structure and function. Pulp therapy is commonly performed on children’s primary (baby) teeth to maintain the tooth until it naturally falls out, preventing premature tooth loss that can affect the development of permanent teeth and the child’s oral health. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene practices can help detect the need for pulp therapy early and ensure effective treatment.
