Pediatric Dentist in Delhi

When a Pediatric Dentist Should Be Part of Your Child’s Care Team?

Many parents believe that dental visits can wait until permanent teeth appear, but in fact preventive dental care should start much earlier. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a child’s first dental visit should occur by their first birthday or within six months after the first baby tooth erupts.

Signs your child should see a dentist sooner:

• Tooth pain or swelling, which could indicate infection or advanced decay.
• Early cavities, spots or discolouration on teeth.
• Difficulty chewing or speaking, which may be related to dental or jaw development.
• Prolonged thumb-sucking or pacifier use (especially beyond age ~4) which may influence tooth alignment or jaw growth.
• Jaw misalignment, spacing concerns or evident bite issues.

At CHDC, our integrated medical-dental team manages both preventive and corrective needs. If your child requires advanced procedures like pediatric tooth fillings in Delhi, we perform them using gentle, safe methods that minimize discomfort. Parents receive after-care instructions and progress updates at every stage.

Typical treatment timeline:

1. Initial consultation and oral examination (often at first visit)
2. If needed: digital X-rays, dental impressions and diagnostic work-up
3. Treatment planning, including cost discussion and scheduling
4. Procedure under local or sedation anesthesia if required, depending on child’s age/needs
5. Post-treatment follow-up plus oral-care education for parents and children

Starting early establishes a “dental home” for your child, facilitating long-term oral health and reducing the likelihood of advanced disease later.
