Pediatric Dentistry at Curve Orthodontics
Children's dental care requires a special approach—one that combines professional expertise with patience, gentleness, and fun. At Curve Orthodontics in Bangalore, we provide comprehensive pediatric dentistry services designed to make dental visits positive experiences that set the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health.
Our team understands that early dental experiences shape how children feel about dental care for the rest of their lives. We take time to explain procedures in kid-friendly terms, allow children to explore dental instruments, and create a welcoming environment that reduces anxiety.

When Should a Child First Visit the Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child's first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits allow us to:
- Check for early signs of decay
- Monitor tooth development
- Provide guidance on teething and oral care
- Help your child get comfortable with dental visits
If your child is older and hasn't been to a dentist, it's never too late to start. We're experts at making first visits positive regardless of age.
Common Childhood Dental Issues
Early Childhood Cavities Baby bottle tooth decay and cavities from frequent snacking or poor brushing are common. We treat existing cavities and help prevent new ones.
Thumb Sucking & Pacifier Habits Prolonged habits can affect tooth alignment. We provide guidance on when and how to help children stop.
Dental Injuries Children are prone to dental injuries during play and sports. We handle emergencies and can recommend protective mouthguards.

Pediatric Dentistry FAQs
When should my child first visit the dentist?
The recommended age for a child's first dental visit is by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits establish a dental home, allow for early detection of problems, and help children become comfortable with dental care from a young age.
How do I prepare my child for a dental visit?
Use positive, reassuring language and avoid words like "pain" or "hurt." Read children's books about dental visits, play pretend dentist, and keep your own dental anxieties to yourself. Most importantly, stay calm and positive—children pick up on parents' emotions.
What services does a pediatric dentist provide?
Pediatric dentistry includes regular checkups and cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, cavity fillings, pulp therapy (baby tooth root canals), space maintainers, and monitoring of tooth development. We also provide guidance on thumb-sucking habits and oral hygiene education.
How can I prevent cavities in my child?
Brush your child's teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, limit sugary snacks and drinks, avoid putting them to bed with bottles, and schedule regular dental checkups. Dental sealants provide extra protection for back teeth. Supervise brushing until age 6-7.
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
Yes, dental X-rays are safe for children. We use modern digital X-rays that emit very low radiation and only take X-rays when necessary for diagnosis. The information gained helps us detect cavities between teeth and monitor development.
What if my child is scared of the dentist?
Dental anxiety is common and manageable. Our team is trained to work with anxious children using gentle techniques, kid-friendly explanations, and positive reinforcement. We go at each child's pace and never force treatment. Over time, most children overcome their fears.
