PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

Surgical Extractions 

Surgical extractions are advanced procedures used to remove teeth that are difficult to access or impacted within the jawbone. Typically performed by oral surgeons, they involve making an incision in the gum tissue and sometimes removing a small portion of bone to access and extract the tooth. Local anesthesia ensures patient comfort during the procedure, and recovery may involve swelling and discomfort, managed with pain medication and post-operative care.

Gum disease treatment 

Gum disease treatment involves procedures like deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar, along with possible surgical interventions to repair damaged tissues. Antibiotics or mouth rinses may be prescribed to control bacterial infection, and regular dental visits are essential for ongoing maintenance.

Dental sealants 

Dental sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent cavities. They act as barriers, sealing off grooves and pits where food and bacteria accumulate, reducing decay risk. Applied quickly and painlessly, the sealant material is painted on, then hardened with a special light, providing protection for several years, especially beneficial for children and teens.

FLUORIDE TREATMENT

Fluoride treatment is a preventive dental procedure where a fluoride solution is applied to the teeth to strengthen enamel and prevent tooth decay. It helps to remineralize enamel and reduce the risk of cavities. The procedure is quick, painless, and often performed during routine dental check-ups.
