Paediatric Dentistry
Aside from providing check-ups and various interventions for dental issues in children, a paediatric dentist will help and work alongside the child’s parents.
The dentist will engage with the parents by educating them on how to ensure their child practices proper oral hygiene routine and care.
The paediatric dentist will also discuss with the parents any treatment plans for the future of their child.
For example, if the child’s teeth and bite require attention and realignment to prevent any issues in the future, then they can plan ahead for orthodontic treatments.
We cannot categorise children as mere small adults. Most kids are impatient and will not cooperate during a dental exam.
Paediatric dentists use special techniques to examine and treat kids in ways that make things fun and comfortable. We recommend bringing your children as young as 6 months along to your dental check-ups. This will allow them to get used to visiting the dentist regularly and acclimatise to the harmless noises that can sometimes be a little intimidating to a child.
The equipment used in paediatric dentistry is specialised and arranged in a way that will not be alarming to children.
Paediatric dentistry offers various treatment options, and practitioners are experts in taking care of your kid’s teeth, gums, and mouth.
Paediatric dentistry or dentistry for children is an age-defined special practice that provides primary and comprehensive oral health care that can be preventive and therapeutic for infants, toddlers, children and adolescents. A paediatric dentist will be the first port of call to check any special health care needs for your child.
Going to the dentist at least twice a year for check-ups and hygiene cleans are healthy and responsible habits for children to learn. The best way for children to not acquire a fear of dentistry is to, first of all, be an excellent example as a parent.
Another important thing is to find a paediatric dentist who is warm, friendly and operates in a welcoming and hospitable facility like Holford Partners Curaden.

Paediatric Dentistry
At Holford Partners Curaden, we practice the latest and most effective preventive and therapeutic treatments for children.
Paediatric Dentistry
If your child is feeling discomfort in their teeth or gums, you should call a paediatric dentist at once. Early detection and treatment of problems will save your child needing long and expensive procedures.
Paediatric Dentistry
Paediatric dental check-ups are excellent for youngsters from six months to 13 years old. Whether you come for your regular twice a year check-up or need an emergency check-up, you should bring your child to a paediatric dentist.
Part of a check-up is habit counselling. For example, you could get advice about pacifier use and thumb sucking.
The doctor will also teach the child and advise the parent how to take care of their oral health.
In addition, a dentist will do a diagnosis to uncover if the child has any oral conditions associated with major diseases like diabetes, heart disease, asthma and more.
During their check-ups, you will find out if your child needs orthodontic treatment, fillings, extractions or specialised paediatric treatments.
No matter how great you are at religiously brushing, flossing, and cleaning your teeth, there will be areas in your mouth that can only be reached by a professional hygiene clean.
You will be advised to bring your child to a dental hygienist at least twice a year.
During a dental hygiene clean, the hygienist will use tools that only an expert can use to completely remove any plaque build-up in your child’s mouth.
Your child may also undergo fluoride application during their hygiene cleaning upon the recommendation of the paediatric dentist.
If your child is experiencing discomfort in their teeth or gums, a paediatric dentist will have to figure out and diagnose the cause of the issue before proposing a course of treatment for your child.
When you come to Holford Partners Curaden with your child who is suffering from oral discomfort, we will investigate their mouth, teeth, gums and soft tissues using the latest technology available.
We will diagnose the problem with the help of an x-ray or an intra-oral scanner, where we will place a camera in their mouth to investigate what is going on.
At Holford Partners Curaden, you can be sure that no issue will be left unseen, and no pain will be left untreated for your child.
We can assure you that when considering paediatric dentistry, Holford Partners Curaden are your best option for your child’s dental needs, oral health and any issues that may arise. We will be able to detect and solve the problem for you and your child.
We offer a full range of orthodontic treatments including lingual braces to fix your child’s smile effectively. Also known as invisible braces they are hidden from view, with no interference with your lips.
You can also get Invisalign, a transparent plastic aligner that effectively aligns your child’s teeth discretely.
To ensure your child’s newly aligned teeth will remain in their new position and won’t return to their original condition we fit fixed white gold retainers and provide removable night time retainers for retention purposes.
Our range of cosmetic braces, will cater to your child’s needs with a variety of treatments that will be sure suit your budget. We also offer payment by interest free instalments to help spread the cost of their orthodontic treatment.
Generic mouthguards will not fit your teeth and gums properly which may lead to the device interfering with your bite and teeth’s position if used frequently. The best solution is to have a custom mouthguard made by a dentist who is trained in providing comfortable and safe to use mouthguards that will protect your active youngster’s teeth.
Your child’s dentist will take an impression of their teeth to submit to the lab technicians to produce the perfect athletic mouthguard that fits seamlessly.
With a Holford Partners Curaden mouthguard, you can protect your child’s tongue and teeth during contact sports, knowing that their teeth, gums and alignment will not be affected.
Our mouthguards are comfortable, durable and built to last. Contact us now if you need one.
Composite fillings are placed when your child’s tooth has either been damaged or decayed. Before placing the filling the decay will be removed and the composite will be applied to the cavity by the paediatric dentist.
If your child is suffering from some sensitivity, pain, or discomfort it is most likely that the tooth has either been damaged or some decay is present. To prevent unnecessary complex procedures get your child’s teeth checked whilst the symptoms are mild. Â
During a check-up, we will be able to find out if your child requires a filling or not. If so, we will schedule a session or multiple, depending how many teeth are affected and require fillings.
We will remove all traces of the decay or infected area and reform your child’s tooth using composite fillings – for a smile that’s good as new.
With our expertise and technology, we can guarantee that the procedure will be pain-free for your young one.
Extractions are needed either as a last resort for a severely damaged or infected tooth or as a prerequisite for orthodontics or cosmetic procedures.
This procedure is painless and straightforward, with the use of anaesthesia and dental tools.
When your child is scheduled for extraction due to infection, the dentist would’ve probably given you antibiotics a week before the date to prevent complications post-surgery.
Your child can have all these services at Holford Partners Curaden, and you won’t have to jump from one clinic to another.
Gum disease is the top reason for losing teeth, and most people, even children, get by not knowing that they have it and will only be concerned when they see bleeding.
It would be best to protect your child’s gums from disease, but we can cure it for you if you suffer gum loss or infections.
We do scaling and root planning, which is a meticulous clean of the roots, removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria. This is usually followed by a course of antibiotics to eliminate further infection.
We offer deep scaling to promote bone regeneration, soft tissue grafting, gingivectomy, gingival sculpting and much more.
Holford Partners Curaden is the best place to get affordable yet effective treatments if you have any gum problems.

Yes, once your child has turned 7 years old or older we recommend an orthodontic consultation to assess and diagnose if a functional appliance and perhaps braces at a later stage are suitable treatments for them. Orthodontic treatment is a major part of paediatric dentistry. It is always better to treat the alignment of your child’s teeth as soon as the majority of their permanent teeth have developed and come through.
The best way to prevent cavities in your child’s teeth is to establish good oral hygiene habits at home, such as brushing and flossing regularly. Paediatric Dentistry recommends limiting your child’s intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, and encouraging them to drink plenty of water. Additionally, Paediatric Dentistry suggests having your child’s teeth sealed to prevent cavities and having them undergo regular fluoride treatments to strengthen their teeth.
First of all, you have to become an excellent role model who regularly visits the dentist. When you can, bring your child along to see you on the dental chair getting treated while looking comfortable and happy.
Make sure that you are treated by a warm and friendly dentist who won’t hesitate to interact with your child from time to time. When your child sees you having fun, there will be no negative stigma anymore.
Also, find a clinic that offers paediatric dentistry to cater to your child’s needs. Such a clinic is designed to psychologically make your child feel safe and comfortable.
Paediatric dentistry is one of many services we offer here at Holford Partners Curaden.
A child’s baby or milk teeth, also known as primary teeth, begin to loosen and fall out at about age 6. The teeth fall out to make room for permanent teeth.
However, the process can be delayed by as much as a year. Also, some people have conditions that make them keep their milk teeth until they are 14 years old or even adults.
A few baby teeth might never fall out, and adult teeth cannot replace them. Baby teeth that are never replaced are called retained teeth.
Retained teeth are typically harmless, but they can still cause some dental issues. For example, the retained tooth might be misaligned, and a patient may need orthodontic treatments.
Another problem it can cause is a gap that can be fixed by an implant.
It is recommended that you bring your child to the dentist at least six months after their first tooth erupts, which happens between 6 months to 1 year old. The key thing about paediatric dentistry is getting your child used to regular visits to the dentist and develop a good habit for the rest of their life.
It’s important to start talking to your child about visiting the dentist at an early age. You can use age-appropriate language and imagery to explain what to expect during the visit. You can also read books or watch videos together that explain the dentist and the importance of taking care of teeth.
If your child has lost a permanent tooth or has a natural gap, the treatment options will be discussed with you by the dentist. Dental implants are not considered part or paediatric dentistry as they can only be placed once the jaw has stopped growing around 23 years old, then the planning for dental implants can take place.
The key to maintaining good oral hygiene at home is to establish a routine. You can start by brushing your child’s teeth twice a day with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, and flossing their teeth once a day. You can also help your child learn to brush and floss their teeth on their own by supervising them and offering guidance. Additionally, you can limit your child’s intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, and encourage them to drink plenty of water.
The most common oral health problems in children include cavities, gum disease, and injury to the teeth and mouth. Cavities are caused by the buildup of plaque on the teeth, which can lead to tooth decay. Gum disease is caused by a bacterial infection in the gums, and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Injuries to the teeth and mouth can occur as a result of accidents or sports-related activities.
