A kids’ dentist provides routine maintenance to reinforce good oral hygiene and dietary habits, as well as scaling and polishing. Kids’ dental care starts at TEETH @ Tiong Bahru Dental Clinic.
Benefits of Paediatrically-Trained Dentists in Singapore
The benefit of regular visits to the kids’ dentist is increased familiarity for your child, which can help combat the potential for dental anxiety to develop. In addition to verbal reinforcement of good habits, our scaling and polishing allow children to become accustomed to kids’ dental treatment.
Hopefully, further intervention will be unnecessary; however, should it be required, this early acclimatisation to dental treatment will enable them to accept other treatments more easily.
Process for Kids Dental Treatment
Oral hygiene and dietary counselling are provided verbally at our kids’ dental clinic, along with demonstrations on toothbrushing techniques. For young children, these instructions are typically intended for both the parent and the child.
Scaling & polishing with ultrasonic and polishing equipment is mainly for older children. We use a combination of hand scalers and gentle polishing with dental apparatus in very young children. Every visit to the dentist must be as positive as possible. Therefore, we take our time and check in frequently with the child to ensure they are happy with the process.
Cost for Paediatrically-Trained Dentist in Singapore
The cost for a scale and polish for a child starts at $65.40. This does not reflect the time spent; rather, our hope in pricing this way is that the kids’ dental treatment will be more accessible to our young patients.
We encourage you to meet with our dentist for a consultation at our kids’ dental clinic to discuss your specific needs and treatment costs.
