What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is a branch of dentistry dedicated to the oral health of children. From the eruption of the first tooth to the teenage years, children face different stages of dental growth and challenges. Early dental care not only helps prevent cavities and gum disease but also builds healthy habits for life.
Why is Pediatric Dental Care Important?
Prevents cavities and tooth decay from an early age
Helps in guiding proper growth of permanent teeth
Reduces the risk of gum disease and oral infections
Addresses habits like thumb sucking or prolonged bottle feeding
Educates children and parents on proper brushing and oral hygiene techniques
When Should My Child First Visit the Dentist?
Dentists recommend that a child’s first dental visit should happen within 6 months after their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday. Early visits help detect any dental issues, provide guidance on oral hygiene, and familiarize your child with dental care in a positive way.
Common Pediatric Dental Treatments at Fab Dental:
Dental Checkups & Cleaning
Regular checkups and gentle cleaning help in keeping your child’s teeth free of cavities, plaque, and tartar while ensuring healthy gum growth.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It’s a safe and effective way to protect children’s teeth.
Pit & Fissure Sealants
Sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent cavities. They act as a protective shield against food and bacteria.
Cavity Fillings for Kids
If a child develops a cavity, pediatric fillings are used to restore the tooth and prevent further decay.
Space Maintainers
In case of early loss of baby teeth, space maintainers help preserve the gap for permanent teeth to erupt properly.
Interceptive Orthodontics
Early orthodontic evaluation can help in guiding jaw growth, aligning teeth, and preventing complex dental issues in the future.
Emergency Pediatric Dental Care
We also treat accidental injuries, broken teeth, and sudden dental pain in children with quick and effective solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why do children need to see a pediatric dentist instead of a general dentist?
Pediatric dentists are specially trained to handle the unique dental needs of infants, children, and teenagers. They focus on growth, development, preventive care, and making dental visits stress-free for kids.
2. At what age should my child first visit the dentist?
Your child should have their first dental visit within 6 months of the first tooth erupting, or by their first birthday. Early visits help prevent dental problems and build comfort with the dentist.
3. Why is dental care important for baby teeth if they eventually fall out?
Baby teeth act as natural space holders for permanent teeth. If baby teeth are lost too early due to decay, it can lead to misalignment, chewing problems, and speech difficulties. Keeping them healthy is very important.
4. How can I prepare my child for a dental visit?
Use positive words like “healthy teeth” instead of “pain” or “drill.”
Read fun books or show cartoons about visiting the dentist.
Avoid passing on dental fears. Stay calm and encouraging.
At Fab Dental, our pediatric team makes visits fun and relaxed for kids.
5. How often should children see the dentist?
Children should visit the dentist every 6 months for routine checkups and cleaning. More frequent visits may be needed if there are cavities, orthodontic issues, or gum problems.
6. What are the most common dental problems in children?
Tooth decay (cavities)
Gum inflammation (gingivitis)
Tooth sensitivity
Early tooth loss
Misalignment and crowding of teeth

7. Are dental treatments safe for children?

8. What can I do to prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?

Rinse the mouth gently with warm water
If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist in milk or saliva
