What do we do?

First Visit

The first dental visit is not only important to establish a positive relationship with the young patient, but we, as dentists have a great opportunity to educate and shape children to be positive about oral health.

Dental Examination aka “Check Up”

During a dental examination we will evaluate your child’s current dental status, go over any areas of concern, and provide proposed treatment options if needed.

X-Rays

X-rays are an important diagnostic tool which aids the dentist in making the correct diagnosis.

Professional Cleaning aka Scale & Polish

A scale and polish is a quick and easy way to remove plaque and calculus, reducing your child’s risk of dental problems later on.

Fluoride

Fluoride is a natural occurring mineral that builds strong teeth and prevents cavities. It’s been an essential oral health treatment for decades. Fluoride supports healthy tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm teeth and gums.

Preventative Dentistry

The goal of preventive dentistry is to prevent the development of cavities and gum disease through routine cleanings, check-ups, and dental education from our office. A healthy mouth helps foster a happy and healthy child.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is the treatment of diseased teeth in order to restore and bring them back to their best health.

Special Needs Dentistry

We are committed to providing the best dental care for all children regardless of their developmental or other special health care needs.We are specially trained to diagnose and treat dental problems in patients with special needs with the utmost care.

Sedation Dentistry aka Laughing Gas

Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a safe, effective sedative agent used to calm a child’s anxiety of the dental visit and enhance effective communication. Additionally, it works well for children whose gag reflex interferes with dental treatment.

General Anaesthetic

There may be times when young children or toddlers may be very frightened of the dentist. At TinySmile Dentistry we understand this, and make every effort we can to be as conservative as possible in our treatment approach. But there are times, when general anaesthesia may be recommended.

Extractions

As dentists our aim is to restore teeth, there are times when this is not possible, and this is when a tooth extraction is the best option. Tiny Smile Dentistry provides tooth extraction services in Pretoria East.

Dental Laser

At TinySmile Dentistry we use the Biolase Epic X soft tissue laser to safely perform various soft tissue surgeries.

Tongue & Lip Tie

A tongue or lip tie is defined as an over active frenum which can have an impact on natural speech development and aesthetics.

Sports Dentistry

Dental injuries are the most common type of injury to the face but many dental injuries can easily be prevented using custom made mouth guards.
