Pediatric dentistry
Pediatric dentistry’s main objective is to promote oral care habits from early childhood. Thus, as a child grows up, it will learn the importance of preventive care and the benefits of going to the dentist. It is a speciality based on the study and concern for children’s teeth from birth until adolescence.
It implies the use of less invasive treatment techniques taking into account that the professionals work with baby teeth mainly. The use of distraction techniques and other elements is commonly applied in everyday practice to help children become comfortable at the dentist.
It is highly recommended to visit the dentist in the baby’s first year. It is also important to mention that the consumption of fruit porridges, the use of feeding bottles and the difficulty at maintaining dental hygiene in babies can alter their dental health. The common believe that the milk teeth will fall out, thus solving the problem, is not an option, we should take an active part in solving the dental problems with care and attention, as any pathology may affect permanent teeth which have not developed fully yet.
Prevention is the key, thus by visiting our dental clinic on time, we can take the necessary actions to ensure the correct growth of the teeth. At our clinic we integrate different specialities: Paediatric Dentistry, Maxillary Orthopaedics and Orthodontics; all of them working together to provide an accurate treatment of our infants.
