Paediatric dentistry

We aim to help each child feel as secure and comfortable with the dentist as they do with their parents, and do not centre treatment planning on tooth removal.

We provide preventive care to help primary teeth remain functional and free of problems until the permanent teeth erupt.
For this purpose:

• Oral hygiene and nutrition education,
• Assessment of tooth decay risk,
• Fissure sealants (protective fillings),
• Fluoride application,
• Space maintainers,
• Fillings,
• Pulpotomy,
• Root canal treatment for primary teeth.

How should children care for and brush their teeth?
Cleaning should begin as soon as the first teeth appear. The original clinic content recommends wiping teeth with clean gauze after breakfast and before bedtime and introducing a toothbrush as back teeth emerge. For preschool children, the main aim is to establish the habit of toothbrushing rather than insist on a complex technique.
Children often brush only the visible or easily reached surfaces. Plaque can accumulate between teeth and on chewing surfaces, so parents should check after brushing. For school-age children, the original text recommends placing the brush at a 45-degree angle to the gum line, sweeping the visible surfaces and then brushing the chewing surfaces.
