Pit and Fissure Sealants for Teeth of Children

Dental Care for Children

You should always clean your infant's gums after feeding. Gums should be wiped with a clean, damp cloth or gauze pad. Parents should brush children's teeth daily with a soft wet toothbrush and a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. When children are very young it is necessary to supervise their brushing to ensure proper brushing habits are adopted. Your dentist will probably recommend regular fluoride treatments which will strengthen enamel and help your child's teeth resist decay. To prevent your child suffering from nursing bottle mouth, you must give your baby a bottle at nap or bed time. Fill the bottle with plain water and not milk, formula or juice.

Sometimes when a more time consuming and painful procedure is advised on a child, dentist might prefer doing the procedure under sedation or general anaesthesia.

ADVANTAGES OF TREATMENT UNDER SEDATION:-

• As the child is sleeping he / she is completely Co-operative.
• The sedation prevents salivation and tongue movement during treatment & therefore these do not interfere while the Dental Surgeon is working.
• These help to produce Dental Treatments of a very high quality.
• Generally all the treatments are completed at one time. This saves a lot of time & frustration because of multiple Dental visits.
• Lastly this way of treatment removes all the fears & trauma in the minds of children & development of "Dental Phobia" is eliminated. The child learns not to fear Dental treatment.

• Never allow your child to fall asleep with a bottle filled with juice, milk, or ? formula (or when awake, sip on it for long periods of time as a pacifier)
• Start bottle weaning by at least a year
• Give your child plain water for thirst
• Make sure your child gets the fluoride needed to prevent decay
• Have regular dental visits for your child beginning when their first tooth erupts
