    Kids Dentistry

    Best time to visit a dentist is when first tooth erupts in mouth of a child or latest before 1st birthday.

    Although no issue can be identified at this time but your child’s dentist can make best recommendations to take care of your kid’s dental problems. Cleaning of oral cavity and erupting teeth should be introduced very early in life of a child. It helps child to adopt good oral health practices early in life.

    At Goel Dental we wish that every parent should take their child to a dentist regularly for examination since most of the issues at this age can be attended with simple measures.

    When we have a kid on our dental chair we focus on to detect any cavities, jaw development, pits and fissures, alignment of teeth any habits that are damaging to dentition.

    Many parents are in disbelief that if milk tooth is infected or has cavities it does not require treatment. We humbly request such parents don’t ignore this condition an infected milk teeth will infect underlying tooth bud or if it falls early there will be structural abnormalities.
