Our 5 Star Reviews related to Paediatric Dentistry

I went to the London Dental Specialists in Regent's Park for a root canal treatment. Mr Sodeinde and his dental assistants were warm and welcoming. Mr Sodeinde explained the treatment I would receive and listened to my questions. The root canal treatment did not hurt. He also advised me on the importance of interdental brush types for cleaning between teeth. Overall, I had a positive experience. I would recommend a visit. Thank you.

Digital Intraoral Scanners for Paediatric Dentistry

Digital intraoral scanners are handheld devices used in dentistry to create 3D digital impressions of teeth and oral structures. These scanners offer a quick, comfortable alternative to traditional impression methods in paediatric dentistry. They capture detailed images of children's teeth and gums, aiding in diagnosis, treatment planning, and creating custom dental appliances like crowns or orthodontic devices.

Dental Lasers for Paediatric Dentistry

Dental lasers are advanced tools in paediatric dentistry that can perform various procedures with minimal discomfort. These devices emit focused light energy to precisely cut or vaporise tissue, remove decay, and prepare teeth for fillings. In children, lasers can reduce anxiety, minimise bleeding, and often eliminate the need for anaesthesia, making dental visits more comfortable and efficient.

Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing for Paediatric Dentistry

Computer-aided design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in Paediatric Dentistry involves using digital technology to design and fabricate dental restorations. This allows for precise, customised treatments like crowns and inlays. The process reduces chair time, improves fit accuracy, and enhances patient comfort, which benefits children's dental care.

Paediatric Dentistry: Frequently Asked Questions

Considering Paediatric Dentistry? We understand you may have questions. Our team of dental specialists, including a Periodontist, Endodontist and Orthodontist along with our team of Dental Therapists and Nurses are here to guide you through the process.
What does a paediatric dental specialist do for children's oral health?
A paediatric dental specialist focuses on children's oral health from infancy through adolescence. They provide comprehensive care, including:

- Preventive treatments like cleanings, fluoride, and sealants
- Restorative procedures such as fillings and crowns
- Early orthodontic interventions
- Care for dental injuries and emergencies
- Education on proper oral hygiene habits

These specialists are trained to work with children's unique needs, including those with special healthcare requirements. They use child-friendly techniques and equipment to ensure comfort and positive experiences. At London Dental Specialists, our paediatric dentists offer a wide range of services tailored to each child's developmental stage and individual needs.
At what age should a child first visit a paediatric dentist?
The British Society of Paediatric Dentistry recommends a child's first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth erupting. At London Dental Specialists, we encourage parents to bring their children for an initial visit around their first birthday. This early visit helps establish good oral habits, checks for proper development and prevents potential issues. Our paediatric dentists are skilled in making these first visits comfortable and fun for children and parents. Early dental care sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
How often should children have dental check-ups for optimal oral health?
Children should have dental check-ups every six months for optimal oral health. However, some kids may need more frequent visits based on their needs. At London Dental Specialists, our paediatric dentists assess each child's risk for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. We may recommend check-ups every 3-4 months for high-risk patients. Regular visits allow us to catch problems early, provide preventive care like cleanings and fluoride treatments, and educate families on proper oral hygiene. Early, consistent dental care helps establish good habits and a positive attitude towards dental health that can last a lifetime.
What are the benefits of early orthodontic treatment for children?
Early orthodontic treatment for children offers several benefits:

1. Guides jaw growth and development
2. Creates space for incoming permanent teeth
3. Reduces the risk of tooth extractions later
4. Corrects harmful oral habits early
5. Improves facial symmetry and aesthetics
6. Boosts self-esteem and confidence
7. May shorten overall treatment time
8. Can prevent more invasive procedures in the future
9. Addresses bite issues before they worsen
10. Enhances oral hygiene by making teeth easier to clean

At London Dental Specialists, our experienced paediatric dentists and orthodontists can assess your child's needs and recommend the most appropriate early treatment options for optimal results.
How can parents help prevent tooth decay in their children at home?
Parents can help prevent tooth decay in children at home through simple daily habits:

1. Supervise brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
2. Encourage flossing once a day
3. Limit sugary snacks and drinks
4. Offer water instead of juice or soda
5. Serve healthy, balanced meals
6. Avoid putting babies to bed with bottles
7. Schedule regular dental check-ups
8. Consider dental sealants for molars
9. Use fluoride rinses for older children if recommended
10. Model good oral hygiene habits yourself

Combined with professional dental care at London Dental Specialists, these recommended practices are highly effective in reducing the risk of childhood cavities and promoting lifelong oral health. As caregivers, you can feel confident you're doing your best for your child's dental health.
How can paediatric dentists help children with dental anxiety or fear overcome their concerns about dental visits?
Paediatric dentists at London Dental Specialists help children overcome dental anxiety through:

1. A gentle, patient-centred approach
2. Tell-Show-Do technique to explain procedures
3. Positive reinforcement and praise
4. Distraction methods like movies or music
5. Gradual exposure to dental instruments
6. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild sedation
7. Behavior sensitivity techniques
8. Pain-free injections using The Wandâ„¢
9. Parental presence during treatment when appropriate

These strategies help build trust, reduce fear, and create positive dental experiences for children.
What are the potential long-term effects of thumb-sucking or pacifier use on a child's dental development, and how can paediatric dentists address these habits?
Thumb-sucking and pacifier use can lead to misaligned teeth, changes in jaw shape, and open bites if prolonged beyond age 3-4. These habits may affect speech development and cause dental crowding. Paediatric dentists address these issues through gentle counseling, positive reinforcement, and education for both children and parents. They may recommend habit-breaking appliances or orthodontic interventions if necessary. Early intervention is key to minimizing long-term effects. At London Dental Specialists, our paediatric dentists work closely with families to develop personalised strategies for breaking these habits and ensuring healthy dental development.
What are the most effective techniques used by paediatric dentists to encourage proper oral hygiene habits in children?
paediatric dentists use several effective techniques to encourage proper oral hygiene in children:

1. Positive reinforcement: Praise and rewards for good habits
2. Demonstration: Showing proper brushing and flossing techniques
3. Age-appropriate education: Using games, videos, and interactive tools
4. Regular check-ups: Building familiarity and comfort with dental visits
5. Personalised approach: Tailoring advice to each child's needs
6. Parental involvement: Educating parents on supporting oral health at home
7. Technology: Using apps and digital tools to make oral care fun
8. Role-modeling: Dentists and staff demonstrating good habits
9. Gentle, patient-centered care: Creating a positive dental experience

These methods help children develop lifelong oral health habits.
