PAEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
At Studio Aesthetique, we have a very welcoming environment for patients of all ages. Our staff makes you feel at home. The fresh smell of chocolate cookies baking immediately entices the kids. We have a dedicated play and art station to keep our child patient happy and busy, so they love coming to the clinic. We encourage our patients who are parents to bring along their children for their appointments, so that they get accustomed to a dental clinic early. We believe that experiences and impressions of childhood last a lifetime, so we take extra care to make sure our paediatric patients love coming to the dental clinic.
TREATMENTS for Paediatric Dentistry:
-
Nursing Bottle Caries:
Nursing caries, or tooth decay, can be caused by children sleeping with bottles containing sweetened liquids. This is also called baby bottle tooth decay. It usually affects children between the ages of 1 and 2 years.
-
Paediatric Caps:
Tooth that has undergone pulp therapy with significant loss of tooth structure will need prefabricated stainless steel paediatric caps on that tooth.
-
Space Maintainers:
Space maintainers are device placed in case of an early extraction of a milk tooth due to excessive damage. This helps in maintaining space for the permanent tooth to erupt.
-
Fluoride treatment:
Fluoride treatment is recommended for children to prevent tooth decay
-
Sealants:
Sealants are used as protective layer on the deep grooves of the molar teeth. It helps in preventing decay in the new permanent teeth.
