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.
What is done in pediatric dentistry?
Treatments are planned according to the child’s age and the condition of the teeth:
Examination and check-ups
Assessing the teeth, jaws and oral habits.
Fluoride application
A preventive treatment that strengthens enamel and lowers the risk of decay.
Details →Fissure sealants
A thin protective layer in the grooves of the molars against decay.
Baby tooth fillings and root canal treatment
Treating decayed baby teeth, with root canal treatment of the baby tooth if needed.
Space maintainer
An appliance that keeps the space of a baby tooth lost early.
Details →Treatment under general anesthesia
For children who need many treatments or cannot cooperate.

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.
