At our clinic, we pride ourselves on our integrated approach to pedodontics, a field dedicated to the oral health of young children. Here's how and why it's essential to start dental care for children as early as possible.

Pedodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dental diseases in children – from babies to adolescents. The main goal is to ensure an optimal start in healthy tooth development, contributing to the formation of correct oral hygiene habits from an early age.

• Building the right habits from the start;

• Education by example: Parents are encouraged to be oral hygiene role models, actively involved in their children's daily routine;

• Adapted techniques: Age-appropriate brushing and flossing methods are taught so that oral hygiene becomes a natural part of the daily routine;

• Long-term benefits;

  • Preventing dental disease: Proper oral hygiene helps avoid cavities and gum problems;

  • Improving confidence: A healthy smile contributes to the development of self-esteem and better social interaction;

• Friendly and specialized approach;

• Child-friendly environment;

• Experience and empathy: Our team of pedodontists is trained to communicate effectively with little ones, turning the visit to the dentist into a positive experience.

• Continuous monitoring;

1. Periodic consultations: Regular visits allow monitoring of dental development and rapid intervention if necessary;

2. Preventive treatment plans: The foundation for optimal oral health is laid by applying sealants, fluoridation, and other preventive procedures;

It is recommended to schedule the first visit to a pediatric dentist from the moment the first tooth appears, usually around the age of 6 months, or at the latest by the age of 1 year, to establish a preventive oral hygiene routine and identify any potential dental problems early; subsequently, periodic consultations – at 6-month intervals – are essential for monitoring the development of baby teeth and for properly preparing the space for the eruption of permanent teeth, thus helping to avoid complications such as cavities or malocclusion and to form correct oral care habits.

• Early detection of dental problems;

1. Active prevention: Regular examinations allow for the prompt identification and treatment of cavities, infections or malocclusion;

2. Personalized treatment plan: A strategy adapted to the child's age and specific needs is established;

• Correct development of milk and permanent teeth;

1. The role of baby teeth: They are essential for the development of masticatory muscles and for maintaining the space necessary for permanent teeth;

2. Monitoring the eruption of permanent teeth: Regular evaluations ensure a healthy transition from baby teeth to permanent teeth;

• Educating the child and family about oral health;

1. Personalized training: Our doctors provide practical advice on correct brushing techniques and the appropriate use of oral hygiene products;

2. Preventing harmful habits: The impact of diet and habits, such as excessive consumption of sweets, is discussed to prevent future problems;

Investing in children's oral health is an essential step for a lifetime of smiles and confidence. Early consultations, proper oral hygiene and preventive interventions are the foundation of harmonious dental development.
