Children in pain are always seen as soon as possible at our clinic. Sedation is available to make the child more comfortable if needed. In cases of nerve involvement of the baby tooth, these teeth could still be saved, particularly if followed by stainless steel crowns or white crowns (caps).

 I addition to our regular check dental exams and prevention program (oral hygiene instructions, diet consult, cleaning, fluoride, x-rays if necessary, fissure sealants, mouth guards), we take a holistic approach to children's dental treatments including growth assessment and development of the dentition, including appliances to correct teeth positions, arch/jaw size, and position relationship. 

We take a comprehensive approach to treating the anxious paediatric dental patient. Our team is dedicated to creating positive dental experiences through multiple strategies.

Dr Hadi may recommend orthopaedic appliances to treat and prevent complicated orthodontics and pain in the future, for example, growth plates, expanders, space re-gainers and extra oral devices. The use of these orthodontic appliances could start in some cases as early as seven years old.

Self-ligating is the latest technology in fixed orthodontics. This system provides faster, cleaner and more comfortable braces. Dr Hadi has been using these braces for many years, with great success, as well as the traditional braces, both at very competitive prices.

This includes fillings, pulp treatment (nerve), white crowns for the restoration of the very decayed, broken-down primary teeth, as well as the traditional stainless-steel crown (caps). This enables the baby tooth to be kept, maintaining the space for the eruption of the secondary tooth later on. Extracting baby teeth before their normal shedding time creates difficulties in the future, as the space will close preventing the normal eruption of the adult teeth. Dr Hadi believes that preventing pain and cost in the future is paramount to the successful treatment of the child. If extraction is the only option in severe infections, then a space maintainer could be placed to hold the space of the lost tooth.

Sedation is available for the treatment of children including oral, nasal, or inhalation sedation. This may be appropriate in dental emergencies and short treatment cases, particularly if your child is in pain, or very anxious/sensitive.

Diagnostic Laser is available in the rooms to detect decay, minimising the patient's need for x-ray and exposure to radiation. Laser technology allows a wide variety of minimally invasive procedures to be performed with less pain and faster healing time e.g. soft tissue laser frenectomy. It also enables effective bleaching with a therapeutic program to prevent sensitivity. Dr Hadi believes that applying the latest technologies in her day-to-day practice gives her patients the best possible treatment and results.
