Children's Dental Clinic In Singapore

At Kong Dental Surgery, we offer your children comprehensive dental care that starts from young.

First Visit To The Dentist

We take the first visit of your child to our dental clinic seriously. The first visit of your child to the dental clinic can be a nerve-wracking experience. It is also the visit that sets the tone and perception of how subsequent dental visits will be like. First impressions matter. This is why we ensure that your child receives ample motivation and assistance during their first visit to help them enjoy, understand and accept dental care. 

During the visit, we take time to introduce your child to the dental process and equipment and tools used. The knowledge of their environment, the dentist, as well as the treatment process can help remove fear and apprehension of visiting the dentist. 

Prophylaxis and Topical Fluoride Application For Teeth Cleaning

Dental prophylaxis thoroughly cleans the teeth of your child. This simple and fuss-free treatment halts the progression of dental diseases and gingivitis. During the procedure, the teeth of your child will be cleaned and polished with a special paste. This is followed up with a protective coat of fluoride gel. Children who visit the dentist every 6 months for their active maintenance are able to maintain optimal oral health and strengthen their teeth against decay and bacteria.

Treatment of Early Childhood Caries (ECC)

Early Childhood Caries (ECC) that are caused by milk from breastfeeding or bottle feeding is common. We help equip new parents with knowledge of ECC to help them avoid future problems that require expensive dental treatments. 

Fissure Sealants To Prevent Cavities

Fissure sealants are a preventative measure used to seal or block off the grooves on the surface of permanent molars. This treatment is done to prevent food traps that can cause cavities. Fissure sealants are used for teeth in children that have deep grooves or that are prone to dental decay. 

Pulpal (Nerve) Treatment To Prevent Loss of Tooth

When a cavity occurs in children, their teeth are more susceptible to nerve infections due to their thinner structure and larger pulps. The pulp houses the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels, which supply nutrients and oxygen to the tooth.

In cases of pulp injury or infection, it is crucial to opt for pulpal treatment rather than extraction. This is necessary to maintain and safeguard the space for the eventual growth of the permanent successor teeth. Losing teeth prematurely can result in crowded or misaligned smiles in the future. This can lead to additional costly interventions. 

Tooth Coloured Fillings 

Only materials that are metal and mercury-free are used to fill the teeth of your children. All materials used are tooth-coloured, which mimics the natural colour of the teeth. Your child can smile confidently without any unsightly silver or black patches in their mouth. 

Stainless Steel Crowns 

Prefabricated stainless steel crowns that are made to accommodate your child’s teeth are used for teeth that are too broken or worn out to be treated with normal fillings. 

Minimal Discomfort Tooth Extractions

The right techniques are used during tooth extraction procedures to help reduce the pain, discomfort and fear of your child to the treatment. 

Anxiety-Reducing Sedation

Children who suffer from severe dental anxiety when visiting the dentist for treatments, are able to undergo sedation to ease anxiety and discomfort.
