Pediatrics

Children begin to get their baby teeth ​during the first 6 months of life. By age 6 or 7 years, they start to lose their first set of teeth, which eventually are replaced by secondary, permanent teeth.
Without proper dental care, children face possible oral decay ​and disease that can cause a lifetime of pain and complications.
Pediatric dentistry provide comprehensive oral health care that includes the following:

-Infant oral health exams, which include risk assessment for caries in mother and child
-Preventive dental care including cleaning and fluoride treatments, as well as nutrition and diet recommendations
-Habit counseling (for example, pacifier use and thumb sucking)
-Early assessment and treatment for straightening teeth and correcting an improper bite (orthodontics)
-Repair of tooth cavities or defects
-Diagnosis of oral conditions associated with diseases such as diabetes​, congenital heart defect, asthma, hay fever and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD​)
-Management of gum diseases and conditions including ulcers, short frenulae, mucoceles and pediatric periodontal disease
-Care for dental injuries (for example, fractured, displaced or knocked-out teeth)
