Tiny Smiles are Safe: Pedodontics
Pediatric Dentistry (Pedodontics) aims to protect and treat the health of milk and permanent teeth of children in the 0-13 age group. Preventing dental fear (dental phobia) in children is critical for their future oral health. As Altni Dental Clinic, we provide service with our colorful rooms specially designed for children and expert physicians with a pedagogical approach.
Why Are Milk Teeth Important?
Milk teeth, which are often neglected by saying "they will fall out anyway", are actually vital for the child's development:
- Nutrition: Proper chewing is essential for growth and development.
- Speech: Correct pronunciation of sounds depends on the presence of milk teeth.
- Space Maintainer Role: Milk teeth guide the permanent teeth that will come from underneath. Early losses lead to crowding.
Your child's first dental examination should be done after the first tooth erupts (approximately 6th month) or at the latest at 1 year old.
Our Preventive Practices
Preventing cavities is much easier than treating them. Therefore, we attach great importance to Fissure Sealant (sealing the grooves of molars) and Topical Fluoride applications in our clinic. In addition, with painless treatment methods and sedation options, we complete the treatments of even our most anxious tiny patients in a playful atmosphere without causing trauma. We aim to raise a cavity-free generation by raising awareness among parents about nutrition and tooth brushing.
