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.  

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.
