Children Dentistry : Growing Happy Smile
- Guide proper jaw & teeth growth
- Improve appearance
- Improve speech
If you notice early or late loss of baby teeth, difficulty chewing and/or biting, continue to suck a thumb after age five, or protruding teeth, your child may need early orthodontic treatment.
Since the bones of your child’s jaw are still soft and malleable while they’re growing, they can be reshaped much earlier than they can be in adults. That means you have more time to heal naturally and effectively.
Dentistry for children can prevent serious, long-term consequences on the overall development of a child’s mouth and teeth.
Children Dentistry : Preventive Care
At White Density, Children’s dentistry focuses on preventive care. We focus on educating parents and kids about oral health. From brushing teeth at home to regular cleaning at the dental clinic. From milk feeding to baby-led-weaning. We create a kids-friendly environment and work towards the goal of a dental clinic that is a happy place for kids.
One of the very important preventive care is the application of fluoride varnish. Fluoride treatments can be used to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. These treatments are typically applied as a gel or varnish and can be done during a regular dental check-up.

Although every case is different, the treatments generally last up to 2 years with follow up till adulthood.
