Healthy Habits from an Early Age – A Smile That Lasts a Lifetime
Pediatric dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the teeth, gums, and mouth in children—from infancy through the teenage years. At our clinic, children are not just small patients – they are our most important guests.
We understand how important the first contact with a dentist is in creating a positive attitude toward dental visits. That’s why we strive to make every appointment a pleasant experience, free from stress and fear, in a safe and child-friendly environment.
The First Visit – A Foundation for Life
We recommend that a child visit the dentist around their first birthday, when the first baby teeth begin to appear. This initial visit is preventive and serves to educate parents about proper oral hygiene, nutrition, and habits that can affect the development of teeth and jaws.
The goal of the first visit is not treatment, but building trust. Our dentists approach each child with special care and patience, helping them feel secure and encouraging a positive attitude toward future check-ups.
What Does Pediatric Dentistry Include?
Preventive Dental Care
Prevention is the key to a healthy smile. Regular check-ups and timely interventions help detect and resolve problems early—without pain or stress.
- Fissure sealing – protects deep grooves on permanent molars from cavities
- Fluoride treatment – professional strengthening of enamel with fluoride-based products
- Oral hygiene education – through play, we teach children how to brush their teeth properly
Treatment of Baby and Permanent Teeth
Baby teeth are essential for proper nutrition, speech development, and guiding permanent teeth into the correct position. That’s why they should not be neglected—decay in baby teeth can cause pain, infections, and problems with the eruption of permanent teeth.
- Gentle and painless cavity removal
- Tooth-colored fillings that are both aesthetically and functionally suitable for children
- Treatment of children’s teeth using modern materials and techniques
Extraction of Baby Teeth
When baby teeth interfere with the eruption of permanent teeth or are affected by deep decay, extraction is performed quickly, carefully, and with maximum comfort for the child.
Monitoring Jaw Growth and Development
Early detection of orthodontic irregularities is crucial for successful treatment. In collaboration with an orthodontist, we monitor tooth position and jaw development and recommend further steps if needed.
Why Is Pediatric Dentistry So Important?
Healthy teeth in childhood lay the foundation for a healthy mouth in adulthood. Children who learn to care for their teeth from an early age tend to have fewer problems later in life and are more likely to enjoy visiting the dentist.
Timely intervention can also prevent serious complications that may affect a child’s speech development, nutrition, and self-confidence.
Our Approach to Children – With a Smile and Understanding
With us, a child is not “just another patient” – they are a little hero we treat with care, patience, and warmth. In our child-friendly environment, supported by a kind and professional team, children learn that visiting the dentist doesn’t have to be an unpleasant experience.
We use modern equipment, safe materials, and techniques tailored to children’s age. Through play and conversation, we turn each visit into a fun and positive adventure.
When to Schedule the First Dental Visit?
- As soon as the first baby teeth appear (around 6–12 months)
- No later than the child’s second birthday
- Every 6 months regularly, regardless of symptoms
