Kids’ Dentistry (Pedo)
Gentle, friendly care that makes children comfortable at the dentist — and keeps their teeth healthy.
What it is
Paediatric dentistry looks after children’s teeth from the first tooth through to the teenage years. It is as much about the experience as the treatment: a calm, unhurried visit so a child grows up unafraid of the dentist. Care covers check-ups, cleaning, fluoride and sealants to prevent decay, simple fillings for milk teeth, and guidance on habits like thumb-sucking, plus an early orthodontic eye on how the teeth and jaws are developing.

Questions patients ask
When should my child first see a dentist?+
Around the first birthday, or when the first teeth appear. Early visits are short and friendly, and help spot problems before they hurt.
Do milk teeth really need treatment if they’ll fall out?+
Yes — healthy milk teeth guide the adult teeth into place, help eating and speech, and prevent pain and infection.
