Catering to the dental health of the child is an important part of dentistry. Today kids form child patient have also changed significantly. Previously milk tooth were considered “temporary”, so any problem in milk tooth had just one line of action....extraction. However today, milk teeth are considered equally important as the permanent ones. So every effort is made to preserve them till they are naturally exfoliated with the permanent teeth. All treatment modalities used in permanent teeth are equally applicable to milk teeth also-dental fillings, root canals, dental crowns, pit and fissure sealants just to name a few.
Treating a child patient is much more complex and time taking. As expected, most child patients are highly nervous and even reluctant to sit on the dental chair. A child needs to be familiarized with the dental clinic and the staff to instill confidence. Special techniques such as the Tell, Show and Do technique is highly effective for most children. Renaming of dental instruments and equipment with easily understandable terms is also very helpful.
Dr. Garg’s Multispeciality Dental Centre in Rajouri Garden, West Delhi is equipped with the necessary equipment and expertise to handle pediatric dentistry cases. Understanding child psychology is central towards being successful with children. Infact parents should routinely get their children for check ups to acquaint the child with the dental clinic.
