Pediatric dentistry is a pivotal branch of dental care focusing on the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence. This specialized field addresses a spectrum of treatments and methodologies designed to maintain and enhance the dental well-being of young patients, educate them and their guardians on effective oral hygiene practices, and ensure a positive, fear-free dental experience from an early age.
To the general public, dentistry and dental surgery are mostly associated with fixing teeth. However, dental medicine isn’t only about fixing your teeth but also covers other aspects of craniofacial complex root.
Such as the temperomandibular structure and other supporting structures. In turn, dental surgery procedures don’t only cover root canals and removal of wisdom teeth that are impacted. Dentists are the practitioners of dentistry.
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues, offering a practical solution for those who have lost some or all of their natural teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease. They help restore the ability to eat and speak comfortably and improve the appearance of the smile. Dentures come in two main types: complete (full) dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Types of Dentures:
Complete Dentures: Divided into two categories – conventional, which are made and placed after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed; and immediate, which are prepared in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed.
Partial Dentures: Usually consist of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is sometimes connected by a metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth.
Custom Denture Design and Fitting: Personalized consultation and design process to ensure that each denture fits comfortably and looks natural.
Denture Adjustment and Repair: Services to adjust, repair, or replace dentures as needed, ensuring optimal fit and function.
Denture Relining: Reshaping the underside of a denture to improve fit against the gums, necessary due to natural changes in the mouth.
Implant-Supported Dentures: Offering a more stable and secure option, these dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone.

Dentures may be an option if you have lost teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease and wish to improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile.
Modern dentures are designed for comfort and fit. Some adjustment periods are normal, but ongoing discomfort should be addressed by your dentist.
With proper care, dentures can last several years. However, they may need to be relined, remade, or repaired due to normal wear and changes in your mouth.
Dentures require daily brushing and soaking in a cleaning solution to remain clean and free from stains. It is also important to handle them carefully to avoid damage.
It is recommended to remove dentures at night to allow your gum tissues to rest and to maintain good oral hygiene.
