Early orthodontic evaluation is the practice of assessing a child’s oral development and bite alignment at an early age, typically between the ages of 7 and 9. This proactive approach allows orthodontists to identify potential orthodontic issues early on and intervene with preventive or interceptive treatment, if necessary, to guide the proper growth of the jaw and teeth.
Early orthodontic evaluation is an essential step in ensuring a child’s oral health and a confident smile. By identifying and addressing potential orthodontic issues early on, orthodontists can play a crucial role in preventing future problems and promoting a healthy, well-aligned bite.
Dental trauma is an injury to the teeth or surrounding tissues caused by an external force. It can range from minor chipped or cracked teeth to more severe injuries involving tooth displacement, fractures, or even avulsion (complete tooth loss). Dental trauma can occur at any age but is most common in children and young adults.
The treatment approach for dental trauma depends on the type and severity of the injury. For minor chips or cracks, bonding or dental veneers may be sufficient to restore the tooth’s appearance and function. More extensive fractures may require root canal therapy or crowns to protect the damaged tooth.
