Paediatric dentistry

Paediatric dentistry is the provision of oral healthcare for children up to adolescence. At Nubis Dental Clinic we understand the crucial importance of establishing good oral hygiene habits from an early age; that is why we offer specialised paediatric dental services to ensure healthy and happy smiles from an early age.

Our highly trained paediatric dentistry team understand the unique needs of children and are dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming and fun environment to make kids feel comfortable on their visits to the dentist. Our children’s dental clinic uses playful approaches and effective communication techniques to educate children about the importance of dental care, helping them overcome any fears or anxieties associated with dental treatment.

From preventive check-ups and dental sealants to restorative treatments and early child orthodontics, we strive to offer personalised and effective solutions for each child. Our mission is not only to take care of their teeth, but also to foster a positive attitude towards oral health that will last a lifetime.

It is recommended to visit every six months from the first year of life, both to monitor dental development and to reinforce oral hygiene habits.

At Nubis Dental, we understand that dental visits can be daunting for children. We employ a few strategies to help manage their fear and anxiety: * **Child-Friendly Environment:** Our practice is designed to be welcoming and less intimidating for children. We have a cheerful waiting area and treatment rooms that are made to feel more comfortable and less clinical. * **Gentle and Patient Approach:** Our dental team is specifically trained to work with children. We use a calm, reassuring, and gentle approach, explaining everything in simple terms they can understand. We never force any treatment and always work at the child's pace. * **Tell-Show-Do Technique:** We use this method where we "tell" the child what we are going to do, "show" them the instrument or procedure in a non-threatening way, and then "do" it. This helps build trust and demystify the process. * **Distraction Techniques:** We can use distractions like cartoons on TV, music, or special "comfort items" that the child brings with them. * **Positive Reinforcement:** We praise and reward children for their bravery and cooperation during their visit. This helps create positive associations with dental care. * **Sedation Options (when necessary):** In cases where a child experiences significant anxiety, we may discuss and offer safe and appropriate sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or, in very specific circumstances, deeper sedation, to help them relax during treatment. * **Open Communication with Parents:** We encourage parents to be part of the process and to communicate their child's anxieties to us beforehand. We can also offer guidance to parents on how to prepare their child for the dental visit. Our primary goal is to make dental visits a positive and stress-free experience for children, laying the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health.

At Nubis Dental Clinic, our specialist team uses playful techniques and adapted communication to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere that helps little ones feel at ease.
