Kids Dentistry

It is crucial to establish and maintain good oral hygiene habits from an early age because your child’s dental health can impact the rest of their life. Sometimes, children may consume excessive amounts of chocolate, sweet drinks, and ice cream, which can lead to severe toothaches or even tooth loss.

Therefore, it is essential to treat their dental problems with an experienced pediatric dentist. Since children’s teeth are not fully developed like adults, they require special care when addressing their issues. At our PURANIK’S DENTAL CARE, our pediatric dentist ensures that your kids feel safe and comfortable during their treatment while also providing them with quality dental services.

Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing dental problems before they occur. Its primary goal is to help both children and adults avoid the need for restorative or emergency dental treatments by promoting good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups.

According to the American Dental Association, by opting for preventive dentistry services, kids can decrease their risk of dental cavities by about 80%. At Puranik’s Dental Care, we provide the best preventive dentistry services to our patients. Our preventive dentistry services include,

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to decay. These treatments can be highly effective in preventing tooth cavities and maintaining oral health.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent the accumulation of food particles and bacteria in the teeth. They are an effective way to help prevent tooth decay, especially in the hard-to-reach grooves and crevices of these back teeth.

Oral Hygiene Education

Our dentists educate patients about proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and the use of mouthwash. This education is essential to help patients maintain good oral health and prevent dental problems.

Regular Dental Examinations

Routine dental check-ups are essential for the early detection of dental issues in children. Dentists perform thorough examinations, which may include X-rays, to identify problems like cavities and gum disease. These regular exams are crucial for maintaining good oral health and addressing any concerns promptly.

As a recommendation from an AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION, your child should visit the dentist at least once every 6 months.

You should start cleaning your baby’s teeth as soon as their first tooth erupts. Use a wet washcloth to gently clean the child’s teeth and gums.
Tooth decay is caused by the bacteria that live in the dental plaque. Plaque is a thin layer of germs, saliva, and food debris that forms on the tooth surface naturally. These bacteria break down the sugars and start to produce acids that attack and destroy teeth or tooth enamel.
