Dr Ellie Nadian is a child-friendly specialist paediatric dentist in Brisbane. She has a child-centric approach and provides specialised services, including sleep dentistry and treatment options for young children and those with special needs such as Autism, ADHD, or non-verbal communication. With over a decade of hands-on experience in dental care for children, she truly understands the intricacies of each child’s dental health, ensuring personalised and targeted treatments.
Dental Care for Kids with Special Healthcare Needs
Children tend to feel more comfortable when the clinic atmosphere and the care providers are relaxed and calm. Atmosphere, staff and the right tools are
sometimes enough, but they can go a long way.
Dr Ellie is a paediatric dentist who believes in “talk therapy”. She talks to children and explains the stages of dental treatment in a kid’s language. Children participate in the treatment and learn about dentistry along the way. A dental X-ray machine, for example, is Dr Ellie’s special camera. A camera that she uses to see inside a tooth. Local anaesthetic is something that she uses to put a tooth to sleep, and the happy gas mask is the astronaut mask.
Children’s Dental Home in Brisbane
Rather than a ‘dental office’, Dr Ellie would like children to see her dental clinic as their ‘dental home’. While waiting for their dental appointment at Pure Dentistry, children can sit in a special kid’s chair, watch TV, and watch Nemo and Dory in Pure Dentistry’s mesmerising saltwater marine fish tank.
Visiting Dr Ellie’s dental home can be fun, and fun dentist visits shape how children view dental treatment for the rest of their lives. A child’s first visit to the dentist should be a happy one.
Sleep Dentistry for Brisbane Kids with Special Needs
As parents, ensuring our children’s comfort and safety during medical treatments is paramount. This is especially true in dental care for children with special needs.
Sleep dentistry, utilising general anesthesia, offers an effective solution. It significantly reduces the child’s anxiety and discomfort, providing a stress-free environment for both the child and the parents. This approach allows for comprehensive dental treatment in a single session, which is ideal for children who may find dental visits challenging.
Embracing sleep dentistry ensures that special needs children, such as ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) receive the best possible dental care safely and comfortably.
Happy Gas for Kids Dental Treatment
Is your child apprehensive about dental visits? Happy gas is a technique paediatric dentists use to transform dental appointments into calm, positive experiences. Happy gas helps ease a child’s anxiety and pain. It increases the chance of providing a cooperative atmosphere for successful dental treatments. Paediatric dentists understand the special needs of children.
Happy gas is generally suitable for children older than 3 or 4 years because younger children may have difficulty accepting the happy gas mask due to their small face size.
Babies with Tongue-Tie or Lip-Tie
Are you concerned about your little one’s feeding or speech development? It might be worth checking for a lip-tie or tongue-tie. These conditions occur when the connective tissues in the mouth are too tight, making breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and, later on, speech challenging for a child. Treatment for these conditions is provided by Paediatric dentists in Brisbane.
Treatment of Dental Trauma for Brisbane Kids
Pure Dentistry provides treatments for a tooth pushed sideways, out of, or into its socket. Specialist paediatric dentists restore or treat dental traumas in children,
including tooth fractures, tooth dislodgements and knocked-out teeth.
Paediatric dentists can optimise dental treatment for children and provide safe sedation options to avoid or minimise traumatising children during their treatment.
For baby teeth, a paediatric dentist will evaluate if it affects the permanent tooth underneath. If a permanent tooth is dislodged, it’s usually repositioned and stabilised with a splint. Sometimes, root canal treatment may be needed.
If the injury is life-threatening, please call 000.
