Paediatric Dentistry Caring for Your Child’s Smile

We understand that a child’s dental experience lays the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. Our dedicated team of paediatric dentists is committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment where children can receive the dental care they need.

The Importance of Paediatric Dentistry

Paediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through their teenage years. It encompasses various aspects, including routine check-ups, preventive care, and treatment for dental issues. Our goal is to create positive experiences that promote good oral hygiene practices and help children develop a healthy relationship with dental visits.

Managing Tooth Decay

Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood dental issues. At IDS, we provide comprehensive management of tooth decay through:

Regular Check-Ups

Routine visits allow us to monitor your child’s oral health and catch decay early.

Fluoride Treatments

We offer fluoride applications to strengthen teeth and protect against cavities.

Dental Sealants

These protective coatings can be applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, significantly reducing the risk of decay.

Trauma and Injuries

Children are active and curious, making them prone to dental trauma and injuries. Our team is equipped to handle various situations, including:

Knocked-Out Teeth

If a tooth is knocked out, it’s crucial to act quickly. We provide guidance on how to preserve the tooth and assess whether it can be replanted.

Chipped or Fractured Teeth

We can repair damaged teeth using dental bonding or crowns, restoring function and appearance.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Injuries to the gums, lips, or cheeks may require assessment and treatment to ensure proper healing.

Sedation Options for Children

We recognise that many children may feel anxious or fearful during dental visits. To help manage their comfort, IDS offers sedation options tailored to each child’s needs, including:

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild sedative that helps children relax while remaining awake and responsive.

Oral Sedation

For more extensive procedures, we may recommend oral sedation to provide a deeper level of relaxation.

Our experienced team will discuss the best sedation method for your child, ensuring a safe and pleasant experience.

Some children may require specialised care due to dental anxiety, special needs, or complex dental conditions. At IDS, we take an individualised approach to treatment, working closely with parents to develop customised care plans. Our team is skilled in managing various child cases, ensuring that every child receives the attention and understanding they deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Disease Treatment

1. How long does a Gum Disease Treatment last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a dental bridge can last between 10 to 15 years, or even longer.

2. Does getting a Gum Disease Treatment hurt?

The process is generally painless. Local anaesthesia is used during the tooth preparation, and any discomfort afterward is usually mild and temporary.

3. How do I care for my Gum Disease Treatment?

Good oral hygiene is essential to the longevity of your bridge. Brush twice daily, floss, and use an interdental brush or floss threader to clean under the bridge. Regular dental check-ups are also crucial.

4. Can a Gum Disease Treatment be removed?

Dental bridges are fixed in place and cannot be removed by the patient. However, your dentist can remove and replace them if necessary.

5. What happens if an abutment tooth is damaged?

If an abutment tooth supporting the bridge becomes damaged or decayed, the bridge may need to be removed and treated before a new bridge is made.

6. How much does a Gum Disease Treatment cost?

The cost of a dental bridge varies depending on the type of bridge and materials used. We’ll provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation.

7. Will a dental bridge affect my speech?

Initially, you may experience slight difficulty with pronunciation as your mouth adjusts to the bridge. However, this typically resolves quickly.

8. Can I eat normally with a Gum Disease Treatment?

Yes, once your bridge is in place, you can eat most foods. It’s advisable to avoid very hard or sticky foods that could damage the bridge.

9. Is a Gum Disease Treatment better than an implant?

Both options have their advantages. A bridge is quicker and may be more cost-effective, while implants offer a more permanent solution without affecting adjacent teeth. Your dentist will help determine the best option for you.

10. How soon after tooth extraction can I get a Gum Disease Treatment?

It’s generally recommended to wait a few months after extraction to allow the gums and bone to heal. However, in some cases, an immediate temporary bridge can be placed.
