  • Rampant Caries Treatment

    Children with rampant tooth decay i e, children with almost/all of the teeth affected by dental caries can have their dentition restored to prevent further deterioration of the situation.

     

  • Topical Fluoridation

    The application of fluoride on the surface of the teeth to strengthen the teeth and prevent against tooth decay.

  • Fissure Sealing

    This helps to reduce the risk of tooth decay beginning in the pits and fissure on the surface of teeth, particularly molars.

  • Filling

    This involves the removal of decayed part of a tooth and replacing it with a resin or any other filling material. it also involves the reconstruction of a broken tooth due to trauma

  • Preventive Resin Restoration

    this is a conservative dental treatment that removes a tiny amount of decayed tooth substance and seals the remaining deep grooves to stop future cavities.

  • Extraction

    Deciduous teeth may sometimes refuse to fall off even in the presence of their permanent successors. In such cases we remove the retained milk teeth to prevent establishment of malocclusion.

  • Serial Extraction

    This is when carefully timed, sequential extraction of deciduous dentition is followed by extraction of specific permanent teeth during mixed dentition to resolve severe tooth crowding.

  • Space maintainer

    An appliance used to maintain space following premature tooth loss or removal. The goal of the appliance is to prevent drifting of adjacent teeth until the permanent tooth erupts.

  • Habit Breakers

    Appliances used to discourage children from undesirable habits like tongue trusting, thum sucking, lip biting etc, to prevent undesirable effects on the occlusion.

Pulpotomy

iIt is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from the top part of a tooth (the crown) while leaving the healthy nerve tissue in the roots untouched. It aims to treat pain and infection while preserving the tooth

Pulpectomy

This is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged soft tissue (pulp) from both the crown and the root canals of a deciduous tooth. This is in contrast to pulpotomy that removes only the coronal pulp tissues.

Apexification

This is a paediatric endodontic procedure used to induce a hard-tissue barrier at the open root tip (apex) of an immature, non-vital permanent tooth

Apexogenesis

Tis is a vital pulp therapy procedure performed on young, immature permanent teeth with open root apex to keep the remaining pulp alive and allow the root to grow and close naturally
