Pediatric dentistry specializes in providing dental care for infants, children, and adolescents. It recognizes that children have specific dental needs, as their teeth and jaws are still developing. Regular dental visits during childhood are crucial for maintaining oral health, preventing dental problems, and establishing good oral hygiene habits that last a lifetime.

Why decay occurs?

• Highly exposure to sugar
• Night time bottle with milk, juice or soda
• Frequent use of sweet drinks with Sippy cups
• History of Previous caries in the child or family, relatives
• Developmental and behavioral problems in the child
• Lack of regular tooth brushing
• Poor access to dental care

Child diet is rich in sugar and carbohydrates. When common food such as milk and child food products are used and tooth/oral cavity not brushed or cleaned, these substances are left to remain on the teeth for prolonged time or period – over the entire night. Bacteria’s utilize the sugar as a medium for growth and in the process excrete acids that attack the hard tissues of teeth causing the removal of calcium. This leads to dental caries or the dental decay.

Our expert oral surgeons consult with specialists in multiple disciplines, including dentistry and plastic surgery, and employ leading-edge diagnostic technology and innovative surgical techniques to provide the best possible care for patients.
