What is Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry is the specialised branch of dental care focused on the oral health of infants, children, and teenagers—including those with special healthcare needs. At Kairon Polyclinic in Dubai, our pediatric dental services are designed to provide gentle, age-appropriate treatments in a friendly and supportive environment.

How Does It Work?

We understand that children’s dental needs are different from adults. Their teeth and jaws are still developing, and their dental visits set the foundation for a lifetime of oral health.

Our pediatric dentists use child-friendly techniques, modern technology, and a warm, reassuring approach to ensure every visit is stress-free. From the first tooth to the teenage years, we offer preventive care, early diagnosis, and gentle treatments to keep young smiles healthy.

 

Who Needs Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry is for every child—from toddlers just learning to brush to teenagers preparing for orthodontic care. Common reasons for a visit include:

  • First dental check-up at around one year old
  • Routine cleanings and preventive care
  • Cavities or tooth decay
  • Dental injuries from falls or sports
  • Monitoring jaw growth and alignment
  • Guidance on healthy brushing, flossing, and diet habits

Even if your child’s teeth look fine, early and regular dental visits help prevent problems before they start.

Where Can It Be Used?

Pediatric dentistry covers a wide range of treatments, including:

  • Regular check-ups and cleanings
  • Fluoride applications and sealants for cavity prevention
  • Fillings for baby and permanent teeth
  • Early orthodontic evaluations
  • Emergency care for chipped or knocked-out teeth
  • Habit counseling (thumb sucking, pacifier use)

At Kairon Polyclinic, our pediatric services are tailored for children of all ages, ensuring their dental journey is positive from day one.
