Indications for visiting a pediatric dentist
- Prevention of tooth and gum disease: Pediatric dentistry is important for the early detection and prevention of tooth decay, gingivitis, and other oral diseases, ensuring healthy and proper development of teeth from a very young age.
- Monitoring the development of the bite: Regular check-ups with a pediatric dentist help to monitor the correct formation of the bite and correct it promptly, preventing more serious orthodontic problems in the future.
- Baby Teeth Care: Baby teeth play an important role in developing speech, chewing, and making room for permanent teeth, so their health must be maintained until permanent teeth naturally replace them.
- Oral Hygiene Education: Pediatric dentistry trains children in proper dental and gum care practices, laying the foundation for lifelong oral health.
- Prevention of dental injuries: Special attention is paid to preventing and treating injuries to the teeth and gums that can occur in childhood due to falls, sports, or active play.
- Psychological comfort: Pediatric dentistry promotes a positive attitude towards dental visits, reducing children's fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment.
Preparation for the treatment of the child's teeth
- Preparing your child for the visit: Explain to your child the importance of going to the dentist and that the visit will be painless and helpful to reduce possible anxiety or fear.
- Regular oral hygiene: Ensure your child brushes their teeth thoroughly twice daily and floss, especially before going to the dentist.
- Make an appointment in the morning: Children are usually more rested and cooperative in the morning, making the visit more productive.
- Providing a complete medical history: Inform the dentist of your child's known allergies, current medications, and past medical interventions.
- Abstinence from food before the visit: The child shouldn't eat an hour before the appointment to minimize the risk of the gag reflex during the examination or treatment.
- Creating a positive attitude: Maintain a positive and optimistic attitude about the dentist visit so that the child perceives it as normal and non-scary.
Important! When making an appointment for pediatric dentistry, the EasyMed manager will provide additional information about the preparation and ensure that the child and parents fully understand the process so that the visit is as comfortable as possible for the child.
How does a visit to a pediatric dentist work
A consultation with a pediatric dentist begins with an examination of the child’s oral cavity. The doctor then discusses the child’s eating habits, oral hygiene, and possible problems that may affect the teeth and gums. The doctor also provides preventive education, teaches proper dental care, and answers parents’ questions. This part of the visit usually lasts about 15-30 minutes.
If treatment is required, such as plaque removal or fillings, the procedure may take additional time, from 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the complexity and cooperativeness of the child. The dentist uses an approach adapted to the child’s age to make the process as stress-free as possible.
At the end of the treatment or examination, the doctor recommends further dental care, discusses the need for follow-up visits, and checks the overall health of the child’s oral cavity.
Generally, a visit to a pediatric dentist can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the services provided and the child’s behavior. Providing detailed information to parents and creating a friendly, understanding atmosphere helps the child feel more comfortable and calm during the visit.
Contraindications to the procedure
- Acute infectious diseases: For example, the flu or SARS, when a child is weak and dental treatment can aggravate his condition.
- High fever or general malaise: Dental treatment should be postponed until the child fully recovers.
- Allergic reactions to anesthetics or other medications: Allergy testing should be done before using certain medications in dentistry.
- Uncontrolled chronic diseases, Such as diabetes mellitus or asthma, require special medical monitoring.
- Neurological disorders or hyperexcitability: Conditions that make a child unable to sit in the dental chair for long periods.
- Oncological diseases or severe systemic disorders: Such conditions require an individual approach to treatment, and interaction with specialists from other medical fields is possible.
Important! When making an appointment for a child’s dental treatment, the EasyMed manager will provide the parents with detailed information about potential contraindications. This will allow you to prepare for your visit to the dentist as thoroughly as possible, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of treatment procedures.
Safety of the procedure
Dental treatment in children is considered a safe and necessary procedure to maintain oral health, prevent disease development, and ensure proper tooth growth.
Dental treatment is carried out as needed, based on regular check-ups. The frequency of treatment depends on the child’s individual needs, age, and tooth condition.
Modern dental treatment methods for children are as safe as possible and have been adapted to the peculiarities of pediatric dentistry. Major risks, such as discomfort or fear of the procedure, are minimized through painless treatments and a supportive atmosphere in the clinic. Possible side effects, such as short-term sensitivity after treatment or reactions to anesthesia, are rare and usually easy to control.
