teeth even for the little ones.
When is the ideal time for the first visit to the dentist? As soon as the first baby tooth appears! This early visit is important for both parents and the child.
Baby teeth are important for several reasons:
Baby molars can remain in the mouth until 12 years of age. If a cavity in a five-year-old child’s tooth is not treated, the permanent successor can be damaged.
Inappropriate solution: Drilling the tooth and leaving it open is not a good idea.
1. During check-ups, we "count the teeth," the child gets used to the environment, and receives a reward.
2. When a cavity actually occurs, the child already trusts the dentist, and they can plan the next steps together.
Treatment: It’s best to start with one small and simple cavity. During subsequent visits, we can treat multiple cavities, depending on the child’s cooperation.
We start treating complex cavities when the child is ready. If not, treatment is done under general anesthesia.
If the child cooperates, we explain everything in a playful manner. The injection is "magic water to make the tooth sleep". The rubber dam is a "raincoat". We try not to use words like pain or fear and aim to find an individual approach for each child.
