Paediatric dentist
Paediatric dentist in London
Paediatric dentist is the children’s dentist. It is important to start with dental appointments as soon as the first teeth appear in the baby’s mouth. If you need a dental treatment for your child in Mill Hill East, Barnet, East Finchley, Finchley Central, Woodside Park, Totteridge, Whetstone, Friern Barnet or Southgate, get in touch with us.
Some treatments performed by the paediatric dentist are:
1. Exam, prophylaxis and fluor application: Patients should visit the dentist for regular check-ups and first appointments should be held as soon as the first tooth comes in. It is indicated to do hygiene and fluor applications twice a year to protect teeth against cavities.
2. Fissure sealants: This will protect teeth against cavities. It is a plastic coating which covers the chewing surfaces of the children’s back adult teeth.
3.Fillings:
It is important to do fillings when caries appears.
4.Extraction and space maintainers:
In case of severe cavities sometimes we may need to extract the baby teeth. On these situations a space maintainer is needed to maintain the correct space for the adult teeth to come in. In other situations, we just need to help baby teeth to come out.
