Kids Dentistry at TechSmiles Dentistry & Facial Aesthetics
Because Little Smiles Deserve Big Care
At TechSmiles Dentistry & Facial Aesthetics, we believe that a healthy smile begins in childhood. Our specialized Kids Dentistry services are designed to provide gentle, effective, and preventive dental care in a calm, comforting environment that helps children feel safe and cared for.
Our goal is not just to treat, but to build trust and lifelong dental habits—making every visit a positive experience for both kids and parents.
Braces & Orthodontic Planning for Kids
We offer early interceptive orthodontics to address habits like mouth breathing, thumb sucking, and misaligned bite issues in children. Early planning prevents long-term problems and helps with proper facial and jaw development.
Retainers
Post-braces or as part of habit-correction therapy, retainers help maintain teeth alignment and prevent relapse—especially important in growing children.
Our Pediatric Dental Services
Fluoride Application
A safe, painless, and effective way to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. We apply professionally measured fluoride gel or varnish to protect your child’s developing teeth.
Pit & Fissure Sealant
Ideal for molars and premolars, this treatment involves applying a protective coating over deep grooves in the teeth to block bacteria and food particles—significantly reducing the risk of decay in children.
Pulpotomy / Pulpectomy
If your child has a deep cavity that reaches the nerve, we perform either:
- Pulpotomy (removal of infected pulp in the crown portion)
- Pulpectomy (complete removal of pulp tissue in baby teeth)
These procedures preserve the tooth, relieve pain, and allow normal oral development.
Stainless Steel (SS) Crowns
Used to restore severely decayed or treated baby teeth, SS crowns provide long-lasting protection and function until the natural tooth is ready to fall out on its own.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why use stainless steel crowns for baby teeth?
SS crowns are durable and protect baby teeth after pulp therapy, ensuring function and alignment until natural exfoliation.
If my child brushes every day, do they still need sealants?
Yes! Even with good brushing, tiny food bits can get stuck in the back teeth. Sealants act like a shield and help protect those tricky spots from cavities.
What’s the difference between pulpotomy and pulpectomy?
Think of it like this:
In pulpotomy, we clean only the top part of the tooth where the infection is.
In pulpectomy, we clean the whole inside of the tooth when the infection has spread deeper.
Both are done to save the tooth and keep your child comfortable.
When should I get my child’s teeth checked for braces?
Usually around 6–7 years old is a good time for their first braces check.
Early checks can spot small issues like mouth breathing or crooked teeth before they become bigger problems later.
