Working with children is a challenge for a dentist. These patients are particularly distrustful due to fear of the unknown in the office and the dentist. It is very important for them to be predisposed to overcome doubts and pain in order to become good patients in the future.
At Specialized Dental Clinic Bushkalova, treatment motivation is conducted, children are approached with patience and attention, and the treatment is accompanied by games and jokes to make the children feel in a friendly and pleasant atmosphere.
Healthy primary teeth are important for both the child's normal nutrition and the proper and timely eruption of permanent teeth. The appearance of caries on primary teeth is characterized by white spots on the enamel until a color change to brown occurs. Complications of caries (pulpitis, gangrene, abscess) in primary teeth occur rapidly. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are of particular importance to preserve healthy teeth. It should also be remembered that prevention is the best treatment for disease.
Prevention involves consuming quality food, protecting against general illnesses, maintaining good oral hygiene, and scheduling regular preventive check-ups with a pediatric dentist.Remember that parents are the ones who establish oral hygiene habits for their children! It is necessary to brush teeth twice a day – in the morning and evening with a suitable toothbrush and toothpaste, use dental floss, rinse with mouthwash. Parents should ensure an adequate intake of vitamins and minerals, limit harmful foods and habits, and establish a routine of visits to the pediatric dentist.
Dental treatment for children is a specialized service that requires high expertise and more effort – from both the young patients and the dentist. Therefore, once the dentist gains the child's trust, it facilitates their work. At Specialized Dental Clinic Bushkalova (Megadent § MDC Aesthetics) we strive to ensure that children are as calm as possible and feel comfortable during their visits to our offices.
For this purpose, the clinic is equipped with dental lasers state of the art, which minimize pain and discomfort. The high energy ones LiteTouch's Er:YAG dental lasers are used for the treatment of hard and soft tissues. Thanks to this type of dental lasers, procedures are performed faster, pain is minimized, and the recovery period is much shorter. All of these factors are significant advantages, especially when working with children.
At Specialized Dental Clinic Bushkalova (Megadent § MDC Aesthetics) we know that proper hygiene habits are crucial for children to have healthy teeth. For this reason, we organize training sessions on dental hygiene for children and their parents. The training sessions last for about 30 minutes, during which you will learn how to properly brush and clean children's teeth when and how often to do it, and motivational training to alleviate children's fears when visiting the dentist. We will also introduce you to suitable oral hygiene products tailored to the child's age.
Many parents make the mistake of leaving their children to brush their teeth alone. Until lasting hygiene habits are established, there must be control by parents. This responsibility should not be left to the child because they cannot remember all the instructions and recommendations. Early accustoming children to habits related to oral hygiene is of fundamental importance for their future dental health.
Building a future, motivated, and confident patients out of children is our main goal. From our many years of practice, we can share valuable advice – NEVER don't use the word FEAR Even if you tell the child, "There is nothing to be afraid of," it still focuses on the word fear, which can be unsettling. During the training, we will also introduce you to other techniques and approaches that will turn a visit to the dentist into a predictable and positive experience.
The clinic also offers silanization (sealing) the fissures of children's teeth, which protects against caries development. The procedure is done regularly over a certain period of time until the child is 12-14 years old, when good hygiene habits have already been established.
Sealants are a special dental material that forms a very smooth and thin protective layer on children's permanent teeth. This protective layer is usually applied to deep grooves (fissures) and protects children's teeth from damage to the chewing surface and the development of cavities.
Cavities develop more frequently on the chewing surfaces of permanent teeth than on other tooth surfaces. Sealants create a smooth and hard barrier between the tooth and the bacteria in dental plaque, preventing the onset of cavities on the chewing surfaces.
Recently, there has been much talk about the prevention of dental health, but little has been done. The state and current legislation have left dental care as an initiative of each patient. The level of health culture among parents of children must be at the necessary level to prevent the little patients from being too vulnerable.
