Child Dentistry – Complete Dental Care for Kids in Jammu
Children’s teeth need a different kind of care than adults’ – not just smaller instruments, but a different approach to comfort, communication, and prevention. Every treatment in this section is overseen by Dr. Nayaab Rattan, MDS in Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, so whether your child needs a routine check-up or treatment for a decayed tooth, they’re seeing someone specifically trained for it.
What’s Covered Under Child Dentistry
Child Dental Care in Jammu
Our core child dentistry service — routine check-ups, cavity prevention, and general dental care built around making kids comfortable, not anxious.
Child Oral Health Care
A broader look at ongoing oral health for children — fluoride treatment, sealants, habit coaching, and diet guidance for parents.
Pulpotomy
For decay that has reached but not fully infected the pulp of a baby tooth — a conservative treatment that preserves healthy tissue where possible.
Pulpectomy
For more advanced infection in a baby tooth’s pulp — a fuller treatment that saves the tooth so it can hold its place until it’s ready to fall out naturally.

When to Book a Child Dentistry Visit
- Their first tooth has come in, or it’s been 6 months since their last check-up
- They’re complaining of tooth pain or sensitivity
- You’ve noticed a cavity, discoloration, or chip
- They’re anxious about the dentist and you want a gentler introduction
- It’s time to discuss orthodontic screening as their permanent teeth come in
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate “kids’ dentist” or can any dentist treat my child?
A pedodontist (children’s dental specialist) has additional postgraduate training specifically in child behaviour management and pediatric dental development — worth seeking out, especially for anxious children or more involved treatment.
How do I know if my child needs a pulpotomy or pulpectomy?
This depends on how far decay has progressed into the tooth’s pulp, which we assess through examination and, if needed, an X-ray — not something to self-diagnose.
What age should orthodontic screening start?
Around age 7, even if treatment (like braces) isn’t needed yet — this lets us plan timing well in advance.
