Why We Do What We Do — Kids and Teeth
Oraa Care — we think all dental visits should be pleasant from day 1. The way we do that is really through making children feel comfortable with the help of friendly faces, soft hands and providing more of a fun environment than a medical one.
Reducing Dental Anxiety in Children
We know that a lot of children (and parents) get a bit stressed before, during or after a trip to the dentist. With simple language, clear explanations, and lots of encouragement is what we work hard towards making each visit go as smooth as possible.
What Are Common Dental Issues We Treat in Pediatric Dentistry?
Common Dental Issues
We see a lot of dental problems in children at Oraa Care Smile Dental Clinic. Almost all children experience one or the other problem at some stage during childhood but all dental issues are manageable with the right care.
Below is a few common dental issues we treat and how we can help keep those grins of theirs, nice and bright.
Cavities (Tooth Decay)
One of the most prevalent dental issues among children is cavities. Unbrushed teeth encourage bacteria which feeds off sugary snacks and drinks eating away the tooth enamel leading to tooth decay.
Cavities can lead to pain and infection if left untreated, which can interfere with a child’s ability to eat, speak and be comfortable.
Solution & Treatment
For cavities, we can gently fill them with a tooth-coloured filling so the tooth is brough back to its natural look and health. In addition, we focus on preventive services like consecutive cleanings, dental sealants and fluoride treatments to guard against tooth decay in the first place.
Early Tooth Loss
However, it is a problem if your child loses baby teeth too early. If a child loses one of their teeth too early, it can leave space for surrounding teeth to move into; this means as they lose their other remaining baby teeth, this process may arise an alignment issue.
Solution & Treatment
In case a baby tooth must be extracted or is lost prematurely, we could recommend a space maintainer, which can be a small equipment that keeps the hole open for grownup teeth to grow in properly. This tiny measure prevents much trickier alignment problems later on.
Tooth Sensitivity
Individuals of any age can suffer from sensitive teeth. A lot of children have a problem with hot, cold or sweet food. It can be due to tooth decay or wear on the enamel or even new teeth coming in.
Solution & Treatment
In mild cases we suggest a toothpaste for sensitive teeth and keeping a careful watch on what they eats.
If the sensitivity is more serious we will do a full check-up to find out what exactly is going on and how we can treat it like applying varnishes with fluoride to harden the enamel.
Thumb sucking and pacifier use
Both thumb sucking and pacifier use are typically normal self-soothing habits that babies and toddlers engage in, but long-term cases can influence dental development. Long-lasting habits may cause crooked teeth or bite issues.
Solution & Treatment
Our approach carefully helps you and your child to overcome these habits. At the same, early treatment is an opportunity to direct teeth into proper alignment with the help of braces in case damage is already being done and child is suffering from mild teeth misalignment issues.
Gum Disease (Gingivitis)
You might be surprised that gum disease can also occur in children. Gingival status, wherein the gums turn into red and swollen or even bleed due to low quality oral cleanliness. If left untreated, it will progress to more severe periodontal disease in the future.
Solution & Treatment
We offer professional cleanings to keep gums in tip-top shape, and we will teach your child about proper brushing and flossing methods.
Preventative Steps — Regular dental checkups are also important to prevent gum disease from developing or getting worse.
Crowded, Overlapping or Crooked Teeth (Malocclusion)
As Children grow with age, it is not necessary that their teeth always come in straight.
Common concerns include crowding, gaps and crooked teeth and these can impact a smile not only visually but also with regards to function.
Solution & Treatment
If teeth are not in proper alignment, we may suggest early orthodontics evaluation to facilitate a healthy development. Not all alignment concerns are necessary for immediate resolution, but interceptive orthodontics helps circumvents larger treatments pending later in life.
Tooth Grinding (Bruxism)
Kids usually clench their teeth specifically at night. This phenomenon known as bruxism wears down teeth, causes jaw pain, and sometimes even headaches.
Solution & Treatment
There are specially designed night guards that helps to protect your child’s tooth while they sleep. In many cases, bruxism in children is associated with stress or anxiety, so we’ll also coach you on relaxation techniques for your child.
Dental Anxiety
Naturally, if children have a fear of the dentist (especially dentists they might not know), this will also add to their anxiety which in addition can lead to feelings of doom and gloom. Dental anxiety also can stop children from receiving the care they need and result in a lifetime of fear when it comes to heading to the dentist.
Solution & Treatment
At Oraa Care, we follow a soft and a soothing method to ensure kids are at ease. We are trained to do specific steps to help reduce anxiety, and we strive to make every visit as enjoyable and low-stress as possible.
