At Luthra Dental Clinic, led by Dr. Prachi Grover Luthra (BDS, MDS), we understand that children’s dental health is more than just a check-up—it’s the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. With our dedicated children’s dental treatment services in Ludhiana, we provide a gentle, caring environment where young patients feel safe, confident and comfortable.
Why Early Dental Care Matters
Children’s teeth (both primary and developing permanent teeth) are vulnerable to decay, trauma, misalignment and other issues. Providing timely dental treatment means:
- Detecting problems early to prevent more complex procedures later.
- Instilling good oral hygiene habits (brushing, flossing, diet) in a fun and memorable way.
- Monitoring growth and development of jaws and teeth so that potential orthodontic issues can be caught early.
- Addressing dental trauma or emergencies in children—knocked-out tooth, chipped tooth, etc.—in a child-friendly environment.
What “Children’s Dental Treatment” Involves at Our Clinic
At Luthra Dental Clinic, our children’s dental services include:
- Comprehensive dental check-ups from infancy through adolescence: examining teeth, gums, jaw, habits (thumb-sucking, tongue thrusting) and growth patterns.
- Preventive treatments such as fluoride applications and dental sealants to protect the chewing surfaces of teeth from decay.
- Restorative care: fillings for cavities, conservative treatment for primary teeth to maintain space for permanent teeth, and if necessary, child-appropriate root canal treatments.
- Management of dental trauma: children are active and accidents happen—our team is experienced at treating children after a fall, a blow to the mouth, or tooth fracture.
- Habit counselling and interceptive care: helping break thumb-sucking, prolonged pacifier use, guiding proper jaw and bite development.
- Early orthodontic guidance: monitoring alignment, bite issues, and referring for braces or clear aligners at the optimal time.
- Education for both child and parent: demonstrating proper brushing technique, teaching about diet and sugar’s effect on teeth, and making oral hygiene fun so children willingly take part.

Tips for Parents: How to Support Your Child’s Dental Health at Home
- Begin wiping gums even before teeth appear; once teeth come in, brush twice daily with a soft, child-size toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.
- Limit sugary snacks and drinks—frequent sugar exposure raises cavity risk.
- Encourage water intake and healthy snacks (fruits, vegetables) that support chewing and saliva flow.
- Make dental visits fun and routine: a first check-up by age one or when the first tooth appears helps build familiarity and trust.
- Model good oral-care habits yourself—children learn by observing.
- If you notice habits like thumb-sucking, mouth-breathing or misaligned bite, bring it up early—even if there’s no pain yet. Early intervention is easier and less invasive.
When to Visit the Dentist — Key Milestones
- First tooth appears or by the child’s first birthday.
- Permanent first molars arrive (around age 6); these are vulnerable to decay.
- Any time there is tooth pain, sensitivity, trauma (fall, chip), or you notice dark spots or white flecks on the teeth.
- If you see jaw imbalance, early crowding, cross-bite or open bite—our team will guide early orthodontic referral if needed.
- Regular check-ups every six months or as recommended by your dentist.
