Pediatric Reparative Dentistry

Dental caries, frequently called cavities, are classified as a condition that gradually progresses from a very young age and are a combined result of sugars contained in daily food intake and bacteria in the mouth. Pediatric dentists perform removal of such caries and restoration using dental materials similar in color with teeth or containing silver. 

Preventive Orthodontics

Malocclusion is considerably frequent in its occurrence as it is known to be one of the three major dental diseases with dental caries and periodontitis. Pediatric Dentistry proactively prevents malocclusion through early detection and correcting bad habits. 

Sedation therapy

Usually, children at age 4 or below have a fear of a hospital and lack cooperation during treatment, making it nearly impossible to perform a good dental treatment under the normal condition. In this case, appropriate sedation drug and N2O/O2 gas are used to perform safe and effective dental treatments under the sedated, sleeping condition. 

Hospital dentistry (dental treatment under the general anesthesia)

Generally, children at age 4 or below, children with systemic disorders, or some disabled people often have extensive oral disease that is nearly impossible to treat in a normal dental care room. In this case, our pediatric dental clinic offers a care system to treat all oral diseases at once in a very safe manner by performing general anesthesia under the supervision of the anesthesiologist in the OR.

Prophylactic dentistry

At Pediatric Dentistry, we educate our child patients and their parents regarding preventive measures, as well as calling their attention to the importance of teeth. Also, in addition to requiring strict dietary control, we are trying our best to prevent dental caries with sealants and topical fluoride application.
