Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, once your child has turned 7 years old or older we recommend an orthodontic consultation to assess and diagnose if a functional appliance and perhaps braces at a later stage are suitable treatments for them. Orthodontic treatment is a major part of paediatric dentistry. It is always better to treat the alignment of your child’s teeth as soon as the majority of their permanent teeth have developed and come through.

The best way to prevent cavities in your child’s teeth is to establish good oral hygiene habits at home, such as brushing and flossing regularly. Paediatric Dentistry recommends limiting your child’s intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, and encouraging them to drink plenty of water. Additionally, Paediatric Dentistry suggests having your child’s teeth sealed to prevent cavities and having them undergo regular fluoride treatments to strengthen their teeth.

First of all, you have to become an excellent role model who regularly visits the dentist. When you can, bring your child along to see you on the dental chair getting treated while looking comfortable and happy.

Make sure that you are treated by a warm and friendly dentist who won’t hesitate to interact with your child from time to time. When your child sees you having fun, there will be no negative stigma anymore.

Also, find a clinic that offers paediatric dentistry to cater to your child’s needs. Such a clinic is designed to psychologically make your child feel safe and comfortable.

Paediatric dentistry is one of many services we offer here at Holford Partners Curaden.

A child’s baby or milk teeth, also known as primary teeth, begin to loosen and fall out at about age 6. The teeth fall out to make room for permanent teeth.

However, the process can be delayed by as much as a year. Also, some people have conditions that make them keep their milk teeth until they are 14 years old or even adults.

A few baby teeth might never fall out, and adult teeth cannot replace them. Baby teeth that are never replaced are called retained teeth.

Retained teeth are typically harmless, but they can still cause some dental issues. For example, the retained tooth might be misaligned, and a patient may need orthodontic treatments.

Another problem it can cause is a gap that can be fixed by an implant.

It is recommended that you bring your child to the dentist at least six months after their first tooth erupts, which happens between 6 months to 1 year old. The key thing about paediatric dentistry is getting your child used to regular visits to the dentist and develop a good habit for the rest of their life.

It’s important to start talking to your child about visiting the dentist at an early age. You can use age-appropriate language and imagery to explain what to expect during the visit. You can also read books or watch videos together that explain the dentist and the importance of taking care of teeth.

If your child has lost a permanent tooth or has a natural gap, the treatment options will be discussed with you by the dentist. Dental implants are not considered part or paediatric dentistry as they can only be placed once the jaw has stopped growing around 23 years old, then the planning for dental implants can take place.

The key to maintaining good oral hygiene at home is to establish a routine. You can start by brushing your child’s teeth twice a day with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, and flossing their teeth once a day. You can also help your child learn to brush and floss their teeth on their own by supervising them and offering guidance. Additionally, you can limit your child’s intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, and encourage them to drink plenty of water.

The most common oral health problems in children include cavities, gum disease, and injury to the teeth and mouth. Cavities are caused by the buildup of plaque on the teeth, which can lead to tooth decay. Gum disease is caused by a bacterial infection in the gums, and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Injuries to the teeth and mouth can occur as a result of accidents or sports-related activities.
