Children (Paediatric) Dentistry Services
Children's Dental Examinations
The most important part of our dental examination for children, especially for a first visit, is acclimatisation. The goal for this first visit is to make each child comfortable in the dental environment and to do only as much as the child can handle.
Kids Dental Fillings
Fillings are placed to restore teeth to function and appearance after trauma, caries removal or tooth wear. Fillings can be separated into two categories – silver coloured or tooth coloured. We no longer place silver coloured fillings at our clinic.
Early Orthodontic Treatment for Children
When teeth are crowded, or poorly aligned, early orthodontic treatment can help to give your child ‘straight teeth’.
Root Canal Treatments
Root canal treatment is the process of removing and infected nerve while saving the tooth. It is not a treatment that is frequently needed in children, but is available should the need arise.
Kids Dental Routine Maintenance
A kids dentist provides routine maintenance to reinforcing good oral hygiene and dietary habits, and scaling & polishing. Dietary counselling is given verbally at our kids dental clinic along with demonstrations on tooth brushing techniques.Â
Kids Tooth Extractions
Kids tooth extractions is the treatment to take a tooth out under local anaesthetic. It is usually done because a child's tooth can no longer be restored, is too mobile for eating, or for orthodontic treatment.

Dentist for Kids in Singapore: Nurturing Healthy Smiles from Childhood
Getting dental care can be a traumatic experience for children. Stressful experiences can lead to anxiety about returning to the dentist or, even worse, avoiding oral healthcare altogether. At TEETH @ Tiong Bahru, our paediatric dentists understand this challenge and have tailored our children’s dentistry services to create positive, anxiety-free experiences.
Why Choose Our Children’s Dental Clinic in Singapore?
Our paediatric dental clinic is led by Dr Sherina, who honed her skills as a Senior House Officer in prestigious paediatric dentistry departments across England, including the world-famous Great Ormond Street Hospital. Her extensive experience in treating children shapes our approach to paediatric dentistry in Singapore, focusing on:
- Creating a child-friendly, welcoming environment
- Providing specialised paediatric dental services
- Ensuring anxiety-free dental visits
- Promoting long-term oral health education
Comprehensive Paediatric Dentistry Services
As a leading children’s dentist in Singapore, we offer a diverse range of paediatric dentistry services:
Routine dental check-ups and teeth cleaning
Our paediatric dentist conducts regular examinations to assess your child’s oral health. These check-ups include a thorough inspection of teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay or other issues. Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. We also use this opportunity to educate children about proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Preventive care
Preventive measures are crucial in children’s dentistry. We offer services such as dental sealants, which are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay. Fluoride treatments are also provided to strengthen tooth enamel. Additionally, we offer nutritional counselling to help parents make informed choices about their child’s diet for optimal dental health.
Tooth extractions
When necessary, our paediatric dentist performs gentle tooth extractions. This might be required for severely decayed teeth, overcrowded mouths, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment. We use child-friendly techniques and may offer sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience for young patients.
Orthodontic treatments (including Invisalign for kids)
We provide early orthodontic assessments to identify and address potential alignment issues. For children requiring orthodontic intervention, we offer various options, including traditional braces and Invisalign. Invisalign for kids uses clear, removable aligners, making them a popular choice for older children and teenagers who may be self-conscious about traditional braces.
Emergency dental care
Our paediatric dental clinic is equipped to handle dental emergencies such as knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, or injuries to the mouth. We provide prompt, compassionate care to alleviate pain and prevent further complications. Our team is trained to manage these situations with a calm, child-friendly approach to minimise anxiety.
Root canal treatments for children
While less common in children, root canal therapy may be necessary to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. Our paediatric dentist uses advanced techniques to perform this procedure as gently as possible. We explain the process in child-friendly terms and focus on making the experience as comfortable as possible, often using appropriate sedation methods when needed.
These comprehensive services ensure that we can address all aspects of your child’s dental health, from routine maintenance to complex treatments, always with a focus on creating positive dental experiences for our young patients. Our children’s family dentistry approach ensures that your child receives top-quality care in a comfortable setting. We believe in creating positive associations with dental health from an early age, setting the foundation for lifelong oral health.
