Pediatric Dentistry in Dubai
At Amire Beladi Dental Clinic in Dubai, our team comprises pediatric dentists and other specialists, including orthodontists, ensuring comprehensive care tailored to your child’s evolving needs. Our experts excel in managing behaviors and addressing anatomical differences in a child’s rapidly developing mouth.
Your child’s oral health impacts their smile for life. Establishing good habits, practicing proper oral hygiene, and early preventive care with a children’s dentist set the right foundation.
Your child’s baby teeth play a vital role as placeholders and guides for their adult teeth. Ensuring their proper health and development greatly influences their future smile and self-esteem. Preserving these primary teeth reduces orthodontic complications and speech issues.
Among the pediatric dentistry services we offer are:
Orthodontic Evaluations
We evaluate your child’s mouth development, jaw structure, and tooth eruption patterns to identify potential issues that could become problematic as they grow older.
Exams
Regular check-ups track your child’s oral growth, enabling us to identify concerns early on for easier resolution. Starting at age 1, we recommend biannual exams for optimal dental care.
Dental Cleanings
Regular cleanings every six months maintain your child’s smile fresh and tidy. Our hygienists educate children on caring for their teeth and gums between appointments.
Fluoride Treatment
After your child’s cleaning, a professional fluoride treatment aids in strengthening weak enamel, boosting resistance to decay and sensitivity in teeth.
Protective Sealants
Dental sealants are preventative covers that block out cavity-causing bacteria in the deep grooves on back teeth. A sealant only takes a couple of minutes to apply; we recommend them on all permanent (adult) molars, which erupt around the ages of 6 and 12, respectively.
Crowns
Protective crowns, also known as “caps,” safeguard damaged or severely decayed teeth, preventing early tooth loss. Our Pediatric patients have access to stainless steel crowns and tooth-colored zirconia crowns for their dental needs.
Pulpotomies
A tooth abscess can cause severe pain and pose a risk to your child’s health. Using gentle pulpotomies alongside crowns can safeguard your child’s tooth until it’s time for the permanent replacement.
Early Intervention and Growth Modification
Advanced orthodontic methods support proper oral development, reducing the likelihood of complex issues for your child in the future.
Extractions and Space Maintainers
Irreparable teeth can be gently removed, and a specialized appliance can be fitted to prevent crowding or obstruction to the developing adult tooth.
Dental Fillings
Milk or Primary teeth can decay rapidly, leading to cavity spread to nearby nerves or other teeth. Our conservative white fillings mend the damaged area, halting infection progression. These composite fillings are mercury-free and aesthetically pleasing.
Prepping for your Child's First Exam
Our pedodontists and orthodontists advise early intervention, starting with children’s dental screenings at a young age. Pediatric Dentists and dental specialists recommend scheduling your child’s first dental exam by age 1 or when their first tooth emerges.
At your child’s initial visit with our pediatric dental team, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of their oral development and screen for potential risks. For older children, we check for issues like tongue thrusting, thumb sucking, or irregular speech patterns.
