Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry treatment begins with regular check-ups, allowing our dentists to monitor your child's oral health and detect potential problems early. Our preventive treatments such as fluoride applications and dental sealants can help protect your child's teeth from decay and cavities. If your child needs restorative treatment such as fillings or crowns, our pediatric dentists use techniques appropriate to their age and developmental level. As Cihangir Dental Clinic, we believe it is important to teach parents and caregivers good oral hygiene habits for children. Our pedodontists provide tips on brushing and flossing, recommendations for healthy eating habits, and information on how to prevent common dental problems. By working with parents and caregivers, we can help children have healthy teeth and gums for life.
