Pediatric Dental Care

Maintaining good oral health among children is essential for their well-being and healthy development. However, we see a growing number of children with dental issues. Some of the issues are caused by genetic predispositions. However, others are the results of bad diet, bad habits, and inadequate oral hygiene.

​

At Indigo Dental Clinics, we help our young patients prevent and treat dental issues.

​

To take care of children’s oral health, we offer:

Routine check-ups – during routine visits to Indigo clinic, a dentist inspects the condition of the oral cavity, teeth and gums; looks at the effect of thumb sucking and pacifiers; determines whether a child needs additional fluorine; and explains how to clean one’s teeth to have a happy and healthy mouth.      

Sealing Fissures –  in order to avoid cavities, we seal fissures. This procedure does not require drilling or filling teeth. First, a tooth is cleaned, and afterwards a special gel is placed on it for several minutes. Next, the tooth is washed and dried. Finally, the fissure is sealed. Sometimes a laser is used to dry the emboss. After several minutes, a protective layer is formed on the outer part of a tooth that lasts for 5-10 years.

How parents can help their children maintain good teeth?

  • Avoid sugary food and drinks. Sugar is a major cause of teeth and gum diseases.

  • Help you child develop good oral hygiene habits: cleaning teeth with toothbrush and dental floss on daily bases. Parents might want to consider that at a certain age children don’t have enough coordination and might need help in using toothbrush.

  • Use tooth paste with high concentration of fluoride.

  • Help your child develop a habit of visiting a dentist. The fist visit to a dentist should take place before the age of three. It is essential that children develop a positive attitude towards dental care professionals. Our doctors and staff will help you with that.
