Kids Dentistry (Pedodontics)

Gentle, unhurried care that does not make children afraid of dentists

You may need this if…

  • Black or brown spots on your child's teeth
  • Your child complains of pain while eating sweets or cold food
  • Swelling on the gum or face
  • A milk tooth lost much earlier than expected
  • Thumb sucking or mouth breathing past the age of four
  • Your child has never been to a dentist

A child’s first dental visit should ideally be a happy one with nothing done at all — a ride in the chair, a count of the teeth, a sticker. Children who meet a dentist before they are in pain grow into adults who do not avoid dentists, and that is worth far more than any single filling.

We treat milk teeth seriously. “They are going to fall out anyway” is the advice that leads to abscesses, disturbed sleep, missed school and permanent teeth erupting crooked because the milk tooth that was supposed to hold the space was lost too early.

What we do for children

  • Fluoride application — strengthens enamel against decay, done in minutes.
  • Pit and fissure sealants — a thin coating that seals the deep grooves of the back teeth where decay almost always starts.
  • Milk tooth fillings and pulpectomy — treating decay before it becomes an abscess.
  • Space maintainers — holding the gap when a milk tooth is lost early so the permanent tooth has room.
  • Habit counselling — thumb sucking, mouth breathing and tongue thrusting, all of which push the front teeth forward if left unaddressed.

What you get at Bright Care

  • Fluoride application and sealants to prevent decay before it starts
  • Milk tooth treatment so permanent teeth come through in the right place
