Minami Senju Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is recommended for

Those who want to complete their treatment in one clinic, including cavity treatment, periodontal treatment, wisdom teeth extraction, etc.

The director and vice-director of Minami-Senju Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics are orthodontists, though,Pediatric dentists and oral surgery specialists also workWe also check for cavities before orthodontic treatment, manage periodontal disease during orthodontic treatment, and provide treatment for crowns.They can be examined collectively.

When he started his practice, he considered specializing in orthodontics, but he felt that it would be difficult for patients, especially children, to be referred to other clinics when they need tooth decay or extractions,Opening a practice with a pediatric dentist.and to be able to perform all procedures in the same clinic.He did.

Some clinics specialize in orthodontics without general dentistry.Cavity checks and periodontal disease management prior to the start of orthodontic treatment are neglected, and even if the teeth line up nicely with orthodontics, they may be full of cavities, or treatment may proceed with swollen and buxom gums.

In addition, for patients who have procedures that need to be combined with orthodontic treatment, such as crowns and implants, if the orthodontist and general practitioner are not working together properly, the timing of the crowns and implants cannot be coordinated well enough,Sometimes it's hard to agree on a treatment plan.Yes, there is.

The clinic is also able to provide insurance treatment, so it is recommended for those who want to reduce costs outside of orthodontics.

Minami-Senju Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics has a general doctor and an orthodontist who can see cavities and other problems.We work every day and are open on weekends and evenings.

General dentists who provide orthodontic services usually hire orthodontists several times a month, and if an orthodontic patient comes in suddenly when the orthodontist is not available, the treatment will be completely emergency treatment only.

In addition, in orthodontic clinics where the director is the sole provider, the director is often called to work part-time in another general dentistry practice, and most often has two to three days off.

The fact that I can call them anytime I am in pain or concerned and they will see me.A very big reliefI think it is.

Considering treatment for children

Minami-Senju Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics provides treatment for adults, of course, but we especially focus on orthodontic treatment, preventive treatment, and cavity treatment for children.

By starting treatment at an early age, it is possible to avoid having teeth removed in adulthood, or to improve bad habits and achieve a beautiful set of teeth without full-scale orthodontic treatment. However, in recent years, there are various orthodontic devices that can be easily started, and there are cases where doctors who do not specialize in orthodontics perform inexpensive treatment during childhood, such as "just jaw expansion for now" or "just a pediatric mouthpiece for now," and if it does not heal, refer the patient to another clinic or to another clinic for permanent orthodontic treatment. If not cured, the patient is referred to another clinic for permanent orthodontic treatment.

Just,If an inexperienced doctor performs only pediatric orthodontics, he or she may widen the jaw too much without considering the bite of the permanent teeth, resulting in a difficult case, or he or she may make a mouthpiece for a case in which follow-up observation is sufficient, resulting in unnecessary costs.

At Minami Senju Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics, orthodontists analyze the results thoroughly,The child will receive the necessary correction at the appropriate time,They will be responsible for treating adults until their teeth line up beautifully.We also provide training to strengthen the tongue and lip muscles (MFT) and to improve bad habits. We also focus on training to strengthen the muscles of the tongue and lips (MFT) and to improve bad habits, so that children who keep their mouths gaping open or who cannot stop sucking can be helped.Please feel free to consult with us.

As for the cost, if it becomes necessary to straighten adult teeth,Because the difference between the normal adult orthodontic cost minus the price paid for the child's orthodontic treatment allows the treatment to continue,Very conscientious.The following is a summary of the results of the study.

There will be a difference in the adjustment fee (3,000 yen) each time if you go for a longer period of time, but it is safe to say that the basic fees for equipment and diagnostic fees remain the same whether you start with an adult or a child.
