Pediatric dentistry in brief

Pedodontics is the specialty that deals with children’s oral and dental health. The aim is not only to treat decay; preventing decay before it starts and helping the child build a good relationship with the dentist are also part of the job.

Baby teeth should not be neglected just because “they will be replaced anyway”. They are needed for chewing and speech and to hold space for the permanent teeth coming in underneath; when they are lost early, the alignment of the permanent teeth can be affected.

The permanent tooth develops under the baby tooth. Over time the root of the baby tooth dissolves, the tooth loosens and falls out, and the permanent tooth erupts in its place.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about pediatric dentistry

When should I first take my child to the dentist?

A first examination is recommended when the first tooth appears or around age 1 at the latest. An early visit helps spot problems early and lets the child get used to the dentist.

Should baby teeth be treated if they will be replaced?

Yes. Baby teeth are needed for chewing, speech and holding space for the teeth coming in underneath. Untreated decay can lead to pain, abscesses and problems in the permanent teeth.

Is fluoride application harmful?

Fluoride applied by the dentist in the right amount is safe and lowers the risk of decay.

My child is very scared. What can we do?

The aim of the first visit is to get acquainted; the child is not pushed into treatment. Not describing the dentist as something scary at home also helps. If needed, the option of sedation is discussed.

Is general anesthesia safe for my child?

General anesthesia is given by an anesthesiologist after the necessary tests. When it is needed and its risks are discussed in detail with your family at the examination.

Does thumb-sucking harm the teeth?

If it continues for a long time it can affect the alignment of the front teeth and jaw growth. Stopping around age 4 is usually recommended.

What is a fissure sealant?

A thin protective layer applied to the deep grooves on the chewing surface of the molars. It protects these areas, where decay most often starts.

How often should we come for check-ups?

A check-up every 6 months is recommended for most children. If the risk of decay is high, the interval can be shortened.

How can I make an appointment?
