OUR DENTISTRY PROVIDES QUALITY PAEDIATRIC DENTAL CARE THAT YOU CAN TRUST!

Our paediatric dentistry is a place where we inspire positive experiences and emotions in children to care for their teeth for life and maintain healthy oral hygiene.

Unfortunately, it is often our past bad dental experiences that induce our fears of the dentist and as a result most people only visit the dentist when they already have a problem. In addition, the pain that results is accompanied by a further increase in fear. Therefore, it is best to introduce our children to dentistry as early as possible, to make dental check-ups a regular part of their lives, at least once a year and to make them aware of the importance of a preventive mindset to maintain their health.

If we raise our children in this way, they will not be afraid of the dentists when they grow up. Dental visits should start before your baby's first birthday.

ACQUAINTANCE, FAMILIARISATION AND CONSULTATION

It's important to start the acclimatization process as early as possible, which means that the first milk teeth that emerge should be shown to the pediatric dentist (around the age of 1). At this stage, just a little look is all that is needed! Our colleague will give parents useful advice on meals, feeding, proper care of teeth and gums, as well as other important information for individuals.

If you bring your child to us regularly, your little one's initial fears of the unknown will sooner or later disappear. This will set the stage for a lifelong relationship with the dentists. Regular dental check-ups can help prevent the development of more serious dental problems, as well as the fear of treatment as an adult.

During the visit to the pediatric dentist, we examine the child's teeth and oral health and prepare the child and parents for the expected interventions.

We may need to take an X-ray to make an accurate diagnosis. Depending on your child's age, we will explain its function and importance.

Young children should also be informed and taught at home (even through role-play) about what happens at the dentists. There are also very nice stories and cartoons that help.

After the consultation and treatment, they can be praised and rewarded, but do not promise them presents before treatment, as this often scares them. They assume that something big (and even bad) will happen if they get a reward later...
If it turns out that your child needs braces, you've come to the right place! In every case, our specialist will provide parents with a personalized orthodontic treatment plan.

Milk teeth removal and polishing

Just like in case of adults, it is easy for plaque and tartar to build up on children's teeth. These can usually be removed using hand instruments without inducing any pain.

Polishing occurs at a subtle frequency, which is more of a tingling and tickling sensation.

Throughout these procedures, the dentist will keep talking to your little one and informing them on what is happening.

TO PROTECT MILK TEETH: BRUSHING AND GROOVE SEALING

As children are not able to clean their teeth thoroughly enough, bacteria can more easily multiply in their oral cavities, putting them at increased risk of tooth decay. Decay of baby teeth spreads through a child's teeth much faster than you might think, so they need extra protection. If necessary, a brushing agent with excellent properties is used to strengthen the tooth enamel, make the tooth much more resistant and help balance the pH of the oral cavity. The fluorine molecules in the varnish are absorbed into the dentinal canals, sealing them off from the outside world and eliminating tooth sensitivity. The brushing treatment takes just a few minutes and children love it because it tastes so delicious.

In the case of small and large molars, a special filling material placed in the grooves (gaps) can prevent decay from developing on those teeth, and this procedure called groove sealing. This treatment also takes only a few minutes and does not cause any pain or discomfort. It is a good idea to close the grooves of the molars that are erupting after the new teeth have protruded (from around the age of one) to prevent bacteria from getting stuck in the gaps between the teeth.

FILLING THE MILK TEETH

It is a basic misconception about milk teeth that there is no task to be done with deciduous milk teeth because they don't hurt and will fall out anyway, so there is no need for dental care. If a milk tooth starts to decay, it should be treated in the same way as a permanent tooth, because the bacteria that are constantly produced in the oral cavity threaten the permanent teeth and the tissues.

It is important to note that the earlier you see a dentist, the less intervention is needed to solve the problem. In case of minor caries, no anesthesia is needed and we can finish the filling more quickly (up to 2-5 minutes). For a young child, these are the most important aspects and will greatly contribute to a positive dental experience in the future.

The shape and size of milk teeth make them unsuitable for long-term filling. Anterior teeth are usually treated by brushing to preserve the existing tooth structure. Depending on the case the doctor may make a filling after all, but the lifespan of these fillings is uncertain.
The procedure is similar to that for adults: the cavity is removed with a dental drill, a filling is placed in the hole, illuminated with a blue light, the filling is slightly adjusted and the procedure is finished. During the treatment, the area around the tooth must be dry so that the filling adheres well. The process involves strange noises and water, so it requires cooperation and courage on the part of the young child.

MILK TEETH ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Before a milk tooth falls out, its roots are absorbed by the permanent teeth, which is why many people (wrongly) believe that milk teeth have no roots. Contrary to popular belief, milk teeth are also anchored to the bone by their roots. The root structure of milk teeth is the same as that of permanent teeth: they have nerves and blood vessels in the pulp. However, their structure is much broader than that of the permanent teeth. This is the reason why in the case of an inflammatory process, children may show more visible symptoms, such as immediate and intense swelling of the face. Although the symptoms are severe, they disappear more quickly with treatment than in case of adults.

The root canal treatment of deciduous teeth is very different from the root canal treatment of permanent teeth.
Since the root of the milk tooth is absorbed during teeth-changing phase we are supposed to use a filling material that is absorbed at the same rate as the tooth root. Unfortunately, this is impossible as of today's medical science. Therefore, it is not possible to permanently seal the root canal of a root canal treated deciduous tooth.

Root canal treatment may be needed when a deciduous tooth dies or breaks off due to an accidental decay and the decay reaches or approaches the chamber containing the nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth. We also treat teeth for space maintenance, trying to hold them in place until the permanent tooth grows out.

After removing the old filling and the cavities, the pulp chamber is opened and the root canal is cleaned out with a rasp, then the nerve-vascular formations are removed (in the case of deciduous teeth there may be several root canals), flush the canals with disinfectant and leave the tooth open to allow the inflammatory fluid accumulated at the root apex to escape. (Keeping the tooth open promotes healing. It is particularly important to follow up at home with a syringe cleaning of the root canal tooth).

ORTHODONTICS IN CHILDREN

The decision to restore your child's dentition is mostly for aesthetic reasons, but as well as making their smile beautiful it is also important to make sure their jawbones and bite are functionally correct.

As we age, tooth loss, malocclusion or a jaw bone disorder can cause increasing discomfort, both through inflammatory processes in and around the affected teeth and in the joints and muscles (facial, mouth, tongue and chewing muscles).

In many cases, it can also have a positive effect on correcting speech defects along with the appropriate speech therapy.

The outcome of successful orthodontic treatment depends on close cooperation between the specialist and their small patient.

The most common bite disorders are described in the picture below:

The duration of the treatment depends on the number of activations required, the age of the patient and the complexity of the problem being treated (the actual treatment time does not usually differ significantly from that planned at the beginning of the treatment). It also depends on the individual case as to which orthodontic appliance is best suited to the problem.

In children, fixed devices are most commonly used, the main components of which are brackets (pegs), rings and arches. The material of the brackets can be metal, porcelain, plastic or a combination of the above, and their function is to guide the teeth into the desired position along the wire arches attached to them.

Removable braces come in a variety of styles and effects, but for young children the most common ones are:

Trainers can help to eliminate certain bad habits. Through this functional therapy, they create a better basis for further orthodontic treatment or, in the most ideal case, make it completely unnecessary. In the future they can also be used as retention devices or to treat joint problems.

Functional appliances are removable appliances that influence the growth of the lower and upper jaw during the mixed dentition period, i.e. between the ages of 8 and 12 years.

Plain plates are removable appliances that resolve certain dental abnormalities (e.g., congestion, gaps, crossbites) within the jawbone through the effect of various built-in "components".

Retention appliances are designed to hold the teeth in the position achieved with the fixed appliance. They can be removable or fixed to the teeth. If the patient does not wear the retention appliance, the teeth can migrate towards their original position and if that happens it is very difficult to correct it again. A successful orthodontic treatment does not guarantee that the patient will have straightened teeth for the rest of their life. In all cases, a retention appliance will be needed to hold the teeth in position for a long time after the treatment, otherwise they may move. These night-time braces usually need to be worn for years.

There are influencing factors that can affect the position of the teeth after treatment: for example, tongue thrust swallowing, mouth breathing, protrusion or simple growth of wisdom teeth, tooth loss. In such cases, this may be treated with additional orthodontic treatment, night braces or surgery.
