Dentistry for Children
The paediatric dentists at Complete Dental Care, Delhi are experts in creating top-notch treatment programmes that are especially designed with kids’ and teens’ requirements in mind
Dental Exams for Young Children and Infants
It is advisable for your child to have their first dental appointment as soon as their first tooth erupts and no later than when they become one year old. We start with an intra-oral examination during the initial visit, which involves examining the tongue, gums, throat, and soft tissues of the mouth. An extra-oral examination of the head and neck is then performed to check for asymmetry in the jaw and face. We also offer you advice on dental development, good oral hygiene practices, teething, injury prevention, and non-nutritive sucking behaviours including sucking fingers or thumbs and using pacifiers. We recommend making an appointment for a standard dental examination at Complete Dental Care, Delhi, ideally once every six months.
Assessment of the Mother’s and Child’s Caries Risk
Many new mothers are unaware that they can expose their infant to bacteria that cause tooth problems. Children may contract the infection from moms who have high levels of oral bacteria or have poor oral health through vertical transmission. We assist in establishing the interval for periodic re-evaluation and the treatment strategy to avoid this.
Oral Prophylaxis
Your child’s brushing and flossing habits are often slack. We conduct Oral Prophylaxis which is a thorough examination of your child’s oral health. The procedure involves inspecting the teeth and mouth for signs of any potential issues, followed by a cleaning. We use disclosing agents to identify the plaque and tartar and perform a thorough professional cleaning. Oral hygiene instructions are also given to ensure the good health of your child’s teeth.
Behaviour shaping
Right from their first visit, the pediatric dentist uses her behavior management skills in order to make the young ones comfortable. We aim at instilling a positive dental attitude in kids rather than forceful methods of treating them.
Handling Toddler Tooth Decay
After excavating the decay, the paediatric dentist uses the appropriate filling material to fill the cavity. If, the cavity is deep, we also provide pulpectomies and crowns especially customized for kids.
Preventive Dental Care with Sealants and Fluoride Treatments
To combat tooth decay, Complete Dental Care, Delhi offers efficient preventative dental treatment. Fluoride treatments work well to fortify tooth enamel, restore minerals lost during early caries, and shield teeth from cavities. In addition, sealants are the material used to seal the deep grooves of molar teeth which protect them from cavity development. As soon as permanent first molars erupts in the oral cavity at around 6-7years of age get them sealed.
Habit counselling for thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and dummy use
If continued beyond the age of 4, pacifiers, tongue-thrusting and thumb-sucking might result in a number of dental issues including tooth decay, jaw misalignment, slanting teeth and roof narrowing. At Complete Dental Care, Delhi, we offer children counselling along with habit breaking appliances to assist them in quitting these negative behaviours.
Space Maintainers
For those small children who have lost their baby teeth before the permanent tooth has taken up the space, space maintainers are used. They are custom-made and used until the permanent tooth erupts, keeping the space of the lost tooth open in the interim. If space maintainers aren’t used, the youngster can grow up with crowded, misaligned permanent teeth.
Children’s Orthodontics
At Complete Dental Care, Delhi, our skilled pediatric and orthodontic experts can devise an individualized treatment plan for your child to ensure healthy smiles for years to come.
Dental Traumas
Both the parent and the child may experience severe trauma as a result of dental injuries.

Help your child feel ready for the visit by outlining expectations, highlighting its advantages, and responding to any queries they might have. Select a paediatric dentist with experience treating young patients to provide a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere.
Using pacifiers and sucking one’s thumb are common behaviours in young children. Although most kids outgrow these habits spontaneously, if they continue, they may have an impact on dental alignment. See your child’s dentist for advice on how to stop these behaviours. We provide various methods of eliminating these habits including counselling and habit breaking appliances.
Dental X-rays are safe in general and expose very little to radiation. X-rays are used by dentists to identify cavities, track tooth growth, and, if necessary, schedule orthodontic treatment. To reduce exposure, protective gear is employed, such as lead aprons.
Call your child’s dentist right away in the event of a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or injury. When a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist with milk or saliva and get professional help right once.
