Is your child avoiding food, missing school, or losing sleep because of tooth pain?

At Clove, we know how quickly dental pain can disrupt a child’s day - from eating and sleeping to concentrating at school. Our Pedodontists use gentle, kid-friendly techniques and early interventions to ease discomfort, calm anxiety, and support faster, more comfortable recovery. Book a consultation for a simple, worry-free experience.

What Is Kids Dentistry (Pediatric Dental Care)?

Kids Dentistry (Pediatric Dentistry or Pedodontics) focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through their teenage years. It ensures your child’s teeth, gums, and overall mouth development stay healthy at every stage of growth.

Children’s mouths change rapidly, new teeth erupt, baby teeth fall out, jaws develop, and habits begin to form. Kids Dentistry is designed to monitor this growth closely, prevent early dental problems, and make each visit comfortable, positive, and confidence-building for young patients.

Why Do Children Need a Pediatric Dental Specialist (Pedodontists)?

Children aren’t just smaller adults, their teeth, jaws, and emotions develop rapidly. Pediatric dentists also known as Pedodontists understand these changes and use age-appropriate communication, techniques, and care for safe, comfortable treatment.

Specialized Training

Expert in Growing Teeth & Jaws

Pediatric dentists track jaw growth, guide erupting teeth, and spot early issues, protecting your child’s long-term dental development.

Child-Friendly Techniques

Anxiety-Free, Child-Friendly Care

With gentle communication and playful techniques, pediatric dentists reduce fear and make visits comfortable, positive, and stress-free for kids.

Habit & Behavior Management

Early Habit & Cavity Prevention

Specialists help manage habits and prevent early cavities through timely guidance, routine checks, and age-appropriate preventive care.

Why Children Are More Prone to Dental Problems

Children are more likely to develop dental problems because their teeth and oral habits are still developing. Baby teeth have softer enamel than adult teeth, which makes them more vulnerable to cavities. Frequent snacking, sugary foods, night-time milk feeding, and prolonged use of bottles or sippers further increase this risk.

Young children also find it difficult to clean their teeth properly on their own. As a result, plaque and bacteria can build up easily, even when brushing is done daily. Habits such as thumb sucking, mouth breathing, or long-term pacifier use may affect jaw growth and tooth alignment. In many cases, children are unable to clearly express dental discomfort, allowing problems to progress silently.

Regular dental checkups help detect early decay, guide healthy oral development, and prevent small issues from becoming painful or complicated later.

A Child-Friendly Dental Space Designed Just for Kids

Dental visits can feel unfamiliar and overwhelming for children, especially during their early years. New sounds, instruments, and environments often trigger anxiety, even before the appointment begins.
That’s why our clinics feature a dedicated kids’ play area. By giving children a safe, engaging space to relax and play before their visit, we help reduce fear and nervousness, making them more comfortable and receptive to care. A calmer child leads to a smoother appointment and a more positive dental experience overall.

Kids’ Dental Treatment Costs at Clove Dental

Pediatric dental costs are generally lower than adult visits. Preventive care like regular checkups and cleanings is always more affordable than delaying treatment because untreated dental issues often progress into more complex, costlier procedures later.

Treatment Category Starting Price
Fluoride Treatment ₹850
Sealants (Cavity Prevention) ₹750
Dental Fillings / Restorations ₹1,270
Scaling / Cleaning ₹1,350
Tooth Extraction (Milk Tooth) ₹750

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Kids Dentistry

Clove Dental recommends a child’s first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing, whichever comes first. Early visits allow the paediatric dentist to assess eruption patterns, identify early decay before it becomes a problem, guide oral hygiene technique for parents, and familiarise the child with the dental environment before any treatment is needed.

Milk teeth serve critical functions: chewing and nutrition, speech development, and as space holders for permanent teeth. Untreated cavities in milk teeth cause pain, abscess, and premature tooth loss. Early loss of milk teeth leads to space collapse, causing crowding and misalignment of permanent teeth that may require orthodontic treatment later. Treating milk teeth is not optional.

Clove Dental’s paediatric dentistry clinics provide comprehensive check-ups, professional cleaning, fluoride varnish, pit and fissure sealants, tooth-coloured fillings, pulpectomy (children’s root canal for infected milk teeth), milk tooth extractions, space maintainers, and early orthodontic evaluation. All procedures use child-safe materials and age-appropriate clinical techniques.

Clove Dental’s paediatric dentists are trained in the Tell-Show-Do technique, positive reinforcement, and distraction tools. Appointments begin with a non-threatening introduction, showing the child instruments before use, using child-friendly language, and building trust progressively over visits. Early, consistent, positive dental experiences create lifelong confidence and prevent dental avoidance in adulthood.

Sealants are thin protective resin coatings applied to the deep grooves (fissures) of permanent back teeth, the surfaces most vulnerable to decay. The procedure takes under 10 minutes per tooth, requires no drilling or anaesthesia, and is completely painless. Research consistently shows sealants reduce the risk of molar decay by up to 80% and remain effective for 5–10 years.

Fluoride varnish is a concentrated topical fluoride applied to the tooth surfaces during paediatric dental appointments. It strengthens enamel and prevents cavity formation, particularly in children at higher decay risk. The dose used in varnish application is safe at all ages and is strongly recommended by dental health organisations globally. Application takes under 2 minutes and is completely painless.

Clean gums with a clean, damp cloth even before teeth appear. Once the first tooth erupts, use a soft-bristled infant toothbrush with a rice-grain size of fluoride toothpaste (ages 0–2) or a pea-size amount (ages 3+). Brush twice daily, morning and before bed. Avoid putting babies to sleep with milk bottles, pooled milk causes rapid early childhood decay (baby bottle caries).

Consult a paediatric dentist if: teeth are not appearing by 15 months, permanent teeth erupt before milk teeth fall out, there is noticeable crowding or crossbite in the early permanent dentition, front teeth protrude significantly (risk of trauma), or your child complains of persistent pain. Clove Dental’s paediatric specialists refer for orthodontic evaluation when early intervention provides a clinical benefit.

My experience with Clove wanowrie has been exceptional. I had three dental patients from my family. My mother went with a tooth pain. After thorough analysis, Dr Shikha Sharma suggested for tooth implant. All the procedures were very well explained and all the appointment were seamless and done according to my availability. Dr Shikha is very punctual, soft spoken and professional. The actual exam of ours came when my kids (4 years and 2 years) complained of tooth pain. Dr Priyanka Gupta is the pediatric dentist at clove. She is exceptional with children. She performed root canal of 2-year-old without much hiccup. She entertains the children in between procedure and make them at ease. My 4 years old had 6 cavities and one RCT, which was done without a single cry from him. He is super excited to visit clove wanowrie. She is best dentist you can refer if your child has tooth issues. She is punctual (not a single minute late in any appointment) and lively person. Anita, who is a assistant at Clove wanowrie is also soft spoken and help us with the appointments.
