The dentistry of the child is different from the dentistry of the adult. Certain dental changes can be prevented from childhood, which is why monitoring a child's oral health is essential. Regular visits to the dentist, since the appearance of the first teeth, have a good influence on the smile, oral health of the future adult and his education.

What dental services for children we offer you
We believe that the treatment of children requires special attention, because the first visits of the little ones to the dental office influence their confidence in the dental system. Therefore, before starting any pedodontic treatment, we try to find, together with the parents, the right way of communication for each little patient.
Here are the pedodontic services we provide:
Examination and diagnosis
The consultation is the first step in establishing the relationship of trust between your child and the dentist. After the consultation:
- the child will get used to the atmosphere of a dental office and with what is happening there
- will learn about proper dental hygiene
- the doctor will make a diagnosis and recommend the necessary steps to solve the problem
Sealing of permanent teeth
Dental sealing is a method of preventing dental caries. The procedure is safe and painless and is recommended for young patients aged 6-14 years. It involves applying a protective resin to the upper surface of the tooth as a barrier to food debris. Thus, these seals prevent the appearance of caries in a proportion of up to 90%.
Braces
The purpose of braces is to correct dental abnormalities by applying pressure to the teeth to bring them into the correct position. In a child, the dental appliance can improve/solve the developmental problems of the maxillary bones, the dental arches, the discrepancies between the size of the teeth and can bring the permanent teeth closer to their correct position.
Worn only at night, non-permanent appliances can solve most problems.
Teeth cleaning
This process involves cleaning the teeth and removing the bacterial plaque, that film on the tooth enamel and under the gums that forms when food debris is not removed from the surface of the teeth. Bacterial plaque can lead to the formation of caries, promotes the appearance of gingivitis and unpleasant odor in the mouth.
Treating dental caries and other problems
Treating dental caries involves several steps, depending on their severity: if the lesion is already in the shape of a cavity or is incipient, if it is a new caries (primary) or one with older problems (secondary), etc.
However, the best method of treatment when it comes to caries is dental prophylaxis (prevention), which involves procedures that can be performed both in the dental office and at home.
Dental extractions
Dental extraction is a surgical procedure that aims to remove a tooth that can no longer be saved by a dental treatment. The procedure is most often performed after an x-ray and the application of an anesthetic. In children, the use of an anesthetic spray is sufficient.
Fluoridation
This dental procedure for children consists of applying a fluoride gel on the teeth, which helps to strengthen the enamel. Thus, the child's teeth are protected against bacterial plaque and caries can be prevented.
Early fluoridation works wonders for the health and resilience of the teeth
Prevention of caries and oral hygiene
To prevent caries and maintain proper hygiene, children should brush their teeth daily, at least twice a day, with a toothpaste containing fluoride. To effectively remove all food leftovers, the little ones can use a mouthwash especially made for children.
Also, in order to diagnose any problems on time and check the condition of the teeth, children need a dental check-up twice a year.
Even before the teeth appear, the gums must be massaged to nourish them and help the future teeth to come out as straight as possible.
