Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the dental care of children, from infancy to adolescence, providing specialized prevention and treatment to ensure their oral health. Through pediatric dentistry, children learn the importance of dental care from an early age and develop positive habits that will stay with them for a lifetime.
The first visit to the pediatric dentist ideally takes place around the age of 12 months or when the first teeth appear. This initial visit helps in the prevention of dental problems and identifies any potential issues with the development of the teeth, while also educating parents on the proper oral hygiene for their child. Early diagnosis helps avoid more complex treatments in the future.
Pediatric dental care includes the prevention and treatment of cavities, maintaining a healthy smile through regular check-ups and cleanings, as well as applying preventive sealants and fluoride treatments for additional protection. Special attention is given to creating a friendly and calm environment, so that children feel comfortable and are not afraid of the dentist.
With proper and consistent care from an early age, children will develop healthy and strong teeth, contributing to a beautiful and healthy smile throughout their lives. The pediatric dentist, through a combination of care, education, and prevention, is a valuable ally in maintaining your child's oral health.
