Parent Tips:

Cavities form when sugar bugs (bacteria) in the mouth feast on sweets and make acids. These acids slowly dissolve the protective outer layer of teeth. Young children are especially vulnerable because:
• Baby teeth have thinner enamel
• Kids often miss spots when brushing
• Frequent snacking fuels acid attacks
The result? Painful cavities that can:
✖️ Cause toothaches & infections
✖️ Lead to early tooth loss
✖️ Affect permanent teeth developing below
Because every child deserves a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime! 😊
When a cavity is caught early - only affecting the hard outer layers (enamel and dentin) but not reaching the nerve - treatment is straightforward:
-
We gently remove the decayed portion
-
Clean and disinfect the area
-
Fill the space with a tooth-colored material
This simple procedure:
✓ Stops the cavity from growing
✓ Protects the tooth's nerve
✓ Preserves your child's natural tooth
✓ Can usually be completed in one quick visit
Good to know: These fillings are strong, safe, and matched to your child's tooth color!
When decay reaches the tooth's nerve (pulp), it requires more extensive care to save the tooth and prevent infection. Here's how we help:
Treatment Options:
1. Root Canal for milk tooth -Pulpectomy
-
For severe infection: Cleans out all infected nerve tissue
-
Disinfects and seals the canals
-
Often followed by a crown for protection
2. Tooth Extraction (Last Resort)
-
Only recommended if the tooth can't be saved- severe infection
-
Includes space maintainers to guide adult teeth
Why Treat It?
✔️ Stops pain and infection
✔️ Prevents damage to developing adult teeth
✔️ Maintains proper chewing and speech
Aftercare Tips:
-
Soft foods for 1-2 days
-
Over-the-counter pain relief if needed or recommended by our doctor.
-
Good oral hygiene to protect other teeth
We use gentle techniques to keep your child comfortable throughout the process!
Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition where the thin piece of tissue under the tongue (called the lingual frenulum) is shorter or tighter than usual, restricting the tongue’s movement. This can affect breastfeeding, speech, eating, and oral hygiene.
Side Effects of Untreated Tongue Tie
If left untreated, tongue tie can lead to:
-
In Babies:
-
Difficulty latching during breastfeeding (causing poor weight gain, nipple pain for mothers).
-
Excessive gas or colic due to swallowing air while feeding.
-
Impact on the milk supply
-
Stoppage of breastfeeding
-
Loss of weight
-
Sleep deprivation
-
Chewing and swallowing especially intake of solids being affected
-
As babies grow, the problems only persist and gradually increase
-
-
In Children & Young Adults:
-
Inability to chew age-appropriate foods
-
Gagging, vomiting of foods
-
Dribbling of saliva and delayed speech development
-
Loss of self-confidence
-
Speech difficulties (trouble pronouncing certain sounds like "L," "R," "T," "D").
-
Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or sticking out the tongue.
-
Dental problems (gaps between teeth, misaligned teeth, increased cavities due to restricted tongue cleaning).
-
Jaw pain, headaches, or neck strain from compensating movements.
-
Impact on Oral Hygiene & Dental Health
A restricted tongue can’t sweep food debris off teeth properly, leading to:
-
More plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease.
-
Mouth breathing (which can cause dry mouth and bad breath).
-
Teeth misalignment (open bite, gaps, or crowding).
Treatment Options
-
Frenotomy (Simple Clip):
-
A quick, minor procedure where the doctor snips the tight frenulum (often done for babies with laser or scissors).
-
Heals fast, with immediate improvement in breastfeeding.
-
-
Frenuloplasty (For Older Kids/Adults):
-
A minor surgical release if the tie is thick or needs stitches.
-
May include simple exercises to improve tongue movement afterward.
-
-
Speech Therapy & Exercises:
-
Helps retrain tongue movement if speech or swallowing is affected.
-
When to See a Specialist?
If your child has:
-
Trouble breastfeeding or bottle-feeding.
-
Speech delays or unclear pronunciation.
-
Dental issues or difficulty cleaning teeth.
A pediatric dentist can evaluate and recommend the best treatment for your child.
Early treatment can prevent long-term problems—don’t hesitate to ask your doctor!
