Treatment of Deciduous (Milk) and Permanent Teeth Conditions

Did you know that milk teeth cavities must also be treated? Many parents underestimate the importance of treating deciduous teeth, assuming they will eventually fall out. However, milk teeth are more porous and sensitive than permanent teeth, and untreated cavities can impact the development of underlying adult teeth. Infections can cause discomfort and may even spread to adjacent developing permanent teeth buds.

 

Our team of paediatric dental specialists employs gentle, modern techniques to remove cavities and prevent potential complications, ensuring the long-term oral health of your child.

 

Fissure Sealants

Prevention is key! Fissure sealants provide an effective barrier against cavities, protecting both deciduous and permanent teeth. Permanent molars should be sealed at specific stages:

• First molars at around 6 years old

• Second molars at around 12 years old

• Premolars between the ages of 6–14

Our safe, pain-free application of transparent or opaque resin-based coatings ensures that children's teeth remain strong and decay-resistant. While sealants significantly reduce the risk of cavities, daily brushing (at least twice a day) and flossing remain essential for optimal oral health.

 

Milk Tooth Extraction

When natural tooth exfoliation does not occur and extraction is necessary, we ensure that the procedure is as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Our experienced paediatric dentists use a gentle approach to minimise discomfort and provide a smooth, positive experience for your child.

Preventive Care: Professional Cleaning & Scaling

Good oral hygiene is essential for long-term dental health. During our preventive care sessions, including professional brushing and scaling, children can watch an interactive screen to make their visit more enjoyable. These routine procedures help prevent future dental issues, keeping their smiles healthy as they grow.

At the end of each session, children receive a special reward, making their dental visit a positive and engaging experience.

Orthodontic Consultation

We provide specialist orthodontic assessments for children who may require braces. Our dedicated team explains the benefits and necessity of orthodontic treatment, answering all concerns and questions. If needed, we will arrange an appointment with our orthodontist at Miko Dental to discuss the best treatment options.

With a child-friendly approach, our goal is to make paediatric dental care stress-free, preventive-focused, and enjoyable, ensuring lifelong healthy smiles!
