PEDIATRIC PRACTICE

Every parent wants his child to have healthy and strong teeth; however, children may face dental issues at a very young age — with the onset of their eruption. For that reason, since that point, it is important for parents to know the basic methods of oral care, with the consequent oral hygiene teaching or a child.

Still it is rather hard to do this without professional advice, additional preventive measures and timely treatment.

Taking into account the fact that modern pediatric dentistry made great strides compared to the times when we, as children, were sorely afraid of dental drill, parents need to refer to specialized clinic as soon as possible to undergo examination and receive recommendations.

Later on it is important to visit dentist at least twice a year, after all, visiting a dentist is important, firstly, to preserve teeth, and secondly, to treat them.

It is important to remember that because of age peculiarities during different seasons of life children may have a variety of teeth problems — stomatitis, gum diseases, milk teeth caries, mobility and loss of milk teeth, eruption of permanent teeth, development of disturbed occlusion and a host of other things.

In order to prevent more serious consequences of these problems, it is vital to pay punctual attention to the changes of oral cavity state, as well as child’s complaints. In some cases professional is the only one who can admit the first manifestations of some or other diseases followed by their early stage treatment.

In addition to that, pediatric dentistry considers such an important aspect as psychological approach to little patients. Doctor’s objective is both to set a child up for the process of treatment, convincing in its necessity, but also to assist in complex and fear development, forming favorability toward regular dentist’s visits.

Our dental clinic can offer the following types of services for little patients:

Preventive measures

Child’s milk teeth are meant to be healthy. Nowadays pediatric dentistry involves emphasis on oral prophylaxis. Several simple procedures conducted by pediatric dentist may relieve concerns about dental health in the years ahead.

Enamel argentation. This painless method of treatment is very popular. The procedure is extremely simple – dissolved silver nitrate is applied on enamel surface. Decay termination is conditioned by the antibacterial properties of silver ions, however, dental restoration by means of argentation is impossible.

Fluoridation. The given procedure involves application of fluoride lacquer on teeth. This procedure plays a prominent part, as it efficiently caries prophylaxis, enhances enamel hardness and reduces teeth hypersensitivity, resulting in caries prevention and keeping oral cavity in pristine condition.

Fissure sealing. The truth of the method is that teeth masticatory surface, which is foremost subject to the risk of decay, is covered with sealing glasslike material. It is equally important to note that the given procedure is preferable to perform before the beginning of tooth decay. This technique is peculiarly important for caries prevention, as if parent have teeth-related issues, this should be done with ample time.

Therapy

The central goal of therapeutic dentistry is teeth preservation, caries treatment and dealing with other oral pathologies, which is a formula for healthy and beautiful smile in years to come.

If the curiosity has reached deep areas, dentist removes affected tissues using dental drill and repairs it be means of tooth filling materials. Existing dental drills have near-silent operation and keep pain feelings to a minimum.

In order to prevent child’s dentophobia (which is the fear of doctors) and take their interest in regular attendance of dentist’s room, dentists have invented multicolored filling materials for kids.

Colored filling materials are made from the same composite material as for regular ones for milk teeth treatment; the only thing is that their composition has harmless colorant – blue, green, yellow, orange or pink.

Apart from bright colors, this type of fillings protects teeth from secondary decay, as they saturate dental tissues with fluoride.
