Gentle dental care for children from a specialist pedodontist
Children’s teeth and jaws are still growing, so they need care suited to their age. Genus Dental’s team includes a pedodontist, a dentist who specialises in children.
What is paediatric dentistry?
A pedodontist (paediatric dentist) has extra training in treating infants, children and teenagers, including children who feel anxious. Care includes check-ups, cleaning, prevention of decay, treatment of cavities in milk teeth, managing injuries to teeth, and keeping an eye on how the teeth and jaws develop.
Milk teeth matter: they help children chew and speak, and they hold space for the permanent teeth.
Toddlers (0–5)
First visit, brushing advice for parents and checks for early decay.
Children (6–12)
Prevention and bite checks while milk teeth fall out and permanent teeth come in.
Teenagers
Cleaning, cavity care and orthodontic checks as needed.
Bring your child in if…
- They are turning one, or their first tooth came in about six months ago
- You see black spots, holes or white chalky patches on the teeth
- They have toothache, swelling or a tooth injury
- They suck their thumb or breathe through the mouth for a long time
- Their teeth look crowded or their bite looks uneven
Benefits of Children's Dentistry
- Decay is found early, while it is small
- Prevention helps protect the teeth from cavities
- A child-friendly approach builds trust for future visits
- Healthy milk teeth help the permanent teeth come in properly
- Bite problems can be spotted early
