About Paediatrics
Children's Comfort Dentistry focuses on addressing children's fears and lack of co-operation with dental appointments, ensuring that they can receive dental treatment in a reassuring manner. Your child may need the help of Paediatric Comfort Dentistry when he or she has
First dental visit:You want to create a positive experience for your child at the dentist to avoid fear in the future.
Unable to co-operate with treatment:Children who are young, stressed or unable to understand the treatment process, resulting in restlessness in the chair.
Tooth decay is a serious problem:More complicated procedures such as root canals or extractions are required.
There are special needs:Children are particularly sensitive to sound, smell or touch and need a more gentle therapeutic environment.
Our Treatments
Pedodontics Overview
Non-sedating treatment: for children who can co-operate
This is the treatment of choice for most children. Through the dentist's patient guidance, gentle encouragement and phased treatment, children will gradually adapt to the dental environment and develop a positive dental experience.
- Treatment Programme:Dental check-up, fluoride application, socket sealant, simple cavity filling, dental cleaning.
Sedation: for children who need extra help
Sedation is a safe and effective option when a child is extremely fearful of a dental visit, is unable to co-operate, or requires more complex, lengthy treatment (such as multiple cavity fillings, root canals on baby teeth, or extractions).
- Therapeutic purposes:Helping your child to relax or enter a light sleep state makes the treatment process safe and smooth, while preventing trauma from dental visits.
- The usual way:Inhaled Laughing Gas, Oral Sedation Medications, etc. All sedation treatments are assessed by a dentist and are monitored throughout to ensure your child's safety.
Detailed Paediatric Dental Procedure
What is the procedure for Pedodontics?
01
Initial consultation and trust building
This is the starting point and the most crucial step in any treatment.
- Friendly environment and introduction:We will introduce the clinic equipment and dental procedures in a language and manner that is familiar to your child.
- Comprehensive Oral Examination:The dentist will gently check the condition of your child's teeth and perform intra- and extra-oral photographs and x-rays to assess decay, periodontal condition and tooth replacement progress.
- Develop a treatment plan:Depending on the child's examination results and co-operation, the dentist will discuss in detail with the parents to decide whether non-sedation or sedation is required.
02
Non-sedating treatment
When the child is able to co-operate with the treatment, non-sedation is used and this is our preferred method.
- Behavioural guidance:The dentist will explain the treatment steps in a way that the child can understand through the "talk, do, see" technique.
- Distraction Techniques:Use cartoons, toys, or talking to your child to divert their attention.
- Treatment Programme:Dental checkups, fluoride application, socket sealants, simple cavity fillings and dental cleanings.
03
Sedation
When a child is extremely anxious about a dental appointment, is unable to co-operate, or requires a more complex and time-consuming treatment, we will discuss sedation with the parents.
- Prior assessment:The dentist will assess the child's physical condition to ensure that sedation is appropriate.
- Sedation process:Safe and effective forms of sedation, such as inhaled nitrous oxide or oral sedative medication, are used to allow the child to complete the treatment in a relaxed or light sleep state under full supervision.
- Treatment Programme:Multiple cavity fillings, root canal treatment for baby teeth or complex extractions, etc.
04
Post-operative recovery and regular follow-up
- Regardless of the modality, good post-operative care and regular follow-ups are crucial to ensure the outcome of the treatment. We will provide detailed care guidelines and remind parents to bring their children back for regular visits to maintain good oral health.
