At Synergy Dental Center, we understand the importance of nurturing your child's dental well-being from an early age.
Our friendly team provides gentle care and education to ensure your child's smile stays bright and healthy.
At Synergy Dental Center, we specialize in pediatric dentistry in Abu Dhabi, providing gentle, compassionate, and expert dental care for children of all ages. From your child’s first tooth to their teenage years, our goal is to build healthy smiles and positive dental experiences for life.
Our experienced pediatric dentists create a safe, fun, and stress-free environment, helping children feel comfortable while receiving the highest standard of dental care. Early dental visits play a vital role in preventing oral health issues and promoting lifelong healthy habits.
Regular dental visits help monitor your child’s oral development and detect early signs of cavities or gum issues. We recommend check-ups every 6 months to ensure optimal dental health and prevent future complications.
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent tooth decay. This quick and painless procedure is highly effective in protecting your child’s teeth from cavities.
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. They act as a barrier against bacteria and food particles, significantly reducing the risk of cavities in children.
If your child develops a cavity, we offer safe and durable tooth-colored fillings that restore the tooth’s function and appearance while maintaining a natural look.
We evaluate your child’s teeth alignment and jaw development to identify any early orthodontic concerns. Timely intervention can help reduce the need for complex treatments later.
Dental emergencies such as tooth pain, broken teeth, or injuries require immediate attention. Our team provides prompt and compassionate emergency dental care to relieve pain and prevent further damage.
We guide both parents and children on proper brushing techniques, nutrition, and oral care routines to maintain healthy teeth and gums at home.
By age 1 or when the first tooth appears.
Pediatric dentists care for children of all ages. From first tooth to adolescence, they help your child develop a healthy smile until they’re ready to move on to a general dentist. Pediatric dentists have had 2-3 years of special training to care for young children and adolescents.
Your child’s first tooth will typically erupt between 6 and 12 months, although it is common to occur earlier. Usually, the two bottom front teeth – the central incisors – erupt first, followed by four upper front teeth – called the central and lateral incisors. Your child should have their first full set of teeth by their third birthday.
Permanent teeth start to appear around age 6, beginning with the first molars and lower central incisors. The age of 8, is generally when the bottom 4 primary teeth (the lower central and lateral incisors) and the top 4 primary teeth (the upper central and lateral incisors) begin to fall out and permanent teeth take their place. The rest of the permanent teeth will start to come in around age 10. Permanent teeth can continue to erupt until approximately age 21. Adults have 32 permanent teeth including the third molars (called wisdom teeth).
Baby teeth may be temporary, but they serve a very important role in the development and health of your child. They help your child to chew promoting proper nutrition. They also assist the child to speak in a normal manner.
Baby teeth hold space in the jaw for your child’s permanent teeth as well. If a baby tooth is lost too soon it can lead to teeth crowding which in turn can cause alignment issues when the permanent teeth begin to emerge leading to biting problems.
One of the most common forms of early childhood caries is “baby bottle tooth decay,” which is caused by the continuous exposure of a baby’s teeth to sugary drinks. Baby bottle tooth decay primarily affects the upper front teeth, but other teeth may also be affected.
Early symptoms of baby bottle tooth decay are white spots on the surface of teeth or on the gum line, and tooth sensitivity. More severe symptoms can appear in advanced stages of baby bottle tooth decay, and include brown or black spots on teeth, bleeding or swollen gums, fever, and bad breath. If your child shows any of these symptoms, you need to see your pediatric dentist immediately to prevent further, more complicated problems from occurring.
To prevent cavities, we suggest enjoying a mouth-healthy diet, full of fibrous fruits and vegetables. Drink more water, which prevents dry mouth and naturally cleans teeth. Brush twice a day for two minutes at a time, and floss daily. Visit your dentist every six months for routine checkups and preventative care.
Fluoride is nature’s own cavity fighter. Fluoride is naturally found in all sources of water such as lakes, rivers and even the ocean. Fluoride is added to most public water supplies, so the tap water in your home has fluoride added to it. Fluoride helps build tooth enamel which helps protect your teeth from tooth decay.
For more than half a century, the ADA has recommended using toothpaste containing fluoride to prevent cavities. Fluoridated toothpaste does an excellent job of cleaning teeth, but make sure that your child spits all of it out and rinses their mouth thoroughly after brushing.
