Children’s Dentistry

Welcome to Dental Embassy your child’s Dental Home

The dental home is the ongoing relationship between the dentist and the patient, inclusive of all aspects of oral health care delivered in a comprehensive, continuously accessible, coordinated, and family-centered way. The dental home should be established no later than 12 months of age to help children and their families institute a lifetime of good oral health. A dental home addresses anticipatory guidance and preventive, acute, and comprehensive oral health care and includes referral to dental specialists when appropriate.

It is recommended to have your child’s first dental visit by the time they turn one. It gives an opportunity; for your child to acclimatize to the unfamiliar environment of a dental clinic, for us to provide anticipatory guidance, thereby avoiding complex dental treatment in the future and for you to ask any questions or seek clarifications regarding any concerns you may have in relation to your child’s teeth and oral health.

Common dental problem that we encounter in children are baby bottle decay/nursing caries, delayed eruption of teeth, trauma to baby teeth and permanent teeth, swelling due to an infected tooth, presence of extra teeth or congenitally missing teeth, crowded teeth, prominent upper or lower jaw.

Dental disease prevention, Cleans, Fillings, stainless steel caps, space maintainers, bite correction appliances are some of the treatments we offer to children.

In addition to cleaning your child’s teeth, we apply fluoride and/or fissure protections to biting surfaces of children’s teeth to prevent decay.
