Children’s Dentistry

Pediatric dentistry deals with treating dental health problems in infants and children. It is recognized by the American Dental Association to deliver comprehensive dental care from infancy to adolescence.

Children, as we know are not just small adults. They may have different dental needs and may not cooperate during a dental procedure. Our pediatric dentistry department understands this, and we use examination and treatment techniques that are dedicated to making your children’s experience more comfortable and relaxed during their dental visit.

One step ahead to understand your children’s dental needs

Milk teeth or baby teeth appear for children by the time they are six months old. Their primary set of teeth lasts until six to twelve years old and gets replaced by the permanent set of teeth.

During these progressive years, teeth may tend to go through several changes, hence, children are required to be given special care to prevent the chances of oral decay, malocclusions, and other dental problems. A study has noted that today, dental carries is more common in children than in adults.

At Unismile dental, we understand parents’ concern over their child’s dental and overall health. With the combination of state-of-the-art technology and years of dental expertise, we work hand in hand to improve and treat your children’s dental needs.

With regular and prompt visits to the dentist, children can protect their oral health, thus, have a healthier lifestyle.
