First Dental Visit
The first visit of a child to a Pediatric dentist should be as soon as the 1st tooth erupts, or latest by the 1st birthday of the child. This early interaction allows for preventive screening of risks for healthy oral health in growing up years.
Professional teeth cleaning / Scaling
Periodic scaling helps to remove accumulated biofilm / plaque on teeth, which brushing alone cannot remove. Regular scaling prevents gum disease and tooth cavities.
Fluoride Varnish
These are topically applied and are very effective in preventing and arresting cavities in children. These are usually applied 2-4 times a year depending upon the caries risk assessment results for your child.
Space Maintainers
Sometimes, a baby tooth needs to be extracted earlier than its normal exfoliation. In such scenarios, the space occupied by the tooth needs to be maintained to avoid irregular eruption of permanent teeth later.

These are protective coatings that are applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. Sealants form a barrier that keeps the bacteria and food away from the tiny grooves of teeth preventing dental caries

Crowns are tooth caps that are placed over the tooth to restore function and structure. There are many indications to place crowns in kids teeth, most commonly being extensive caries that compromises strength of the tooth, after pulp therapy and in cases of proximal caries where conventional restoration may not stay.
