Paediatric Dentistry

We are committed to nurturing lifelong dental health from an early age. Paediatric dentistry here is more than just treatment; it is about creating a trusting dentist-patient relationship from an early age and a positive foundation for healthy oral habits that last a lifetime.

What makes paediatric dentistry different?

Paediatric dentistry involves a range of dental services customised specifically for children from infancy through adolescence. This speciality focuses on diagnosing, preventing, managing, and treating a child's developing teeth, gums, and mouth.

Dr Magan's approach is holistic, considering not just the dental issue at hand but the child's overall health and emotional well-being. She ensures treatments are provided in a gentle, reassuring manner.

What would my child's consultation experience look like?

A consultation with Dr Magan is a warm and inviting experience designed to evaluate the condition of your child's teeth and gums, to assess jaw growth and development, and to establish the appropriate time for intervention to manage issues.

Dr Magan takes the time to engage with your little one, making dental education fun and accessible and ensuring they understand the importance of caring for their teeth in an empowering way.

What are some of the common paediatric dental procedures?

In our practice, Dr Magan offers a wide array of paediatric dental procedures tailored to meet the needs of growing smiles. These include routine cleanings and examinations, fluoride treatments, cavity fillings, and fissure sealants.

Routine Cleanings and Examinations

Routine cleanings and examinations are essential for maintaining oral health, removing plaque and calculus buildup, and identifying potential issues early on. This preventive care helps avoid cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems, ensuring your child's teeth and gums remain healthy, and their smile stays bright.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. This treatment, applied in a dental office, can significantly reduce the risk of cavities, especially in children prone to decay. It is a quick, effective method to protect teeth against acids produced from foods and bacteria.

Fillings

Fillings are commonly performed in children to restore teeth damaged by decay. After removing the decayed material, the dentist fills the cavity with a material such as composite resin. This restoration protects against further decay, restores tooth function, and maintains its natural appearance.

Fissure Sealants

Fissure sealants are a preventive dental treatment Dr Magan highly recommends for children. These slender, safeguarding layers are placed on the biting surfaces of molars—the area most prone to cavities in children. By filling the teeth's grooves and fissures, sealants create a streamlined surface that simplifies cleaning and protects against the bacteria and food particles responsible for tooth decay.
