Paediatric dentistry is the discipline of dentistry that deals with the treatment and prevention of dental and oral diseases in children. Paediatric dentistry is a distinct and very complex area of dentistry, encompassing all branches of dentistry.
However, it is very important that the child is not a “small adult”.
The development and course of dental and oral diseases are specific to childhood, so naturally the methods of treatment are different. The first priority in children’s dental treatment is prevention, not cure. When treating children, it is very important to know the psychology of children, which is a priority for the dentists working in our practice. Our dentists try to tell children about the treatments in a friendly, playful way, reducing their anxiety and fear, and helping them to get to know the dentist and the practice.
For prevention, it is very important to learn how to brush teeth properly, starting with the first teeth, so that brushing becomes a daily routine for your child.
It’s important to get your child to like brushing, so that they don’t feel forced to do it.
It’s worth taking him to the dentist’s as soon as possible so that he can get used to this new, unfamiliar environment in a playful way. Many parents mistakenly talk about dental treatment as a punishment for their child, creating a lifelong fear in the child.
