Pediatric dentistry

Why take care of milk teeth?

Milk teeth play a vital role: they support proper eating and speech, and help guide the placement of permanent teeth. Their premature loss – e.g. due to untreated tooth decay – can lead to malocclusion or speech defects, and have an impact on the child's self-esteem.

Treating teeth in children serves not only immediate relief, but is also a means to prevent problems that may only appear in adolescence or adulthood. Early dental prevention in children helps them to develop a healthy smile and avoid more serious interventions in the future.

Paediatric dentistry without stress – creating positive associations

Paediatric dentistry serves another very important goal: to familiarise the child with the dental office and the dentist. A person’s lifelong attitude to dental treatment may depend on what their first visit looks like. This is why it is so important to start with gentle forms of contact – without stress or pain.

Regular checkups, introductory visits and preventive treatments will teach the child that the dental office is a friendly place, and taking care of your teeth is a natural part of everyday routine – just like washing your hands or going to the paediatrician.

How to take care of a child's smile? – services available

Under the “Paediatric Dentistry” category in the Medicover store, you will find basic services that help take care of a child's oral health at different stages of their development:

• Introductory visit for children
  This is a child’s first visit to a dental office and the first time meeting the personnel. The child is shown the tools, invited to sit in the chair, learns about teeth and can participate in an educational game. This type of visit is a means to overcome anxiety and prepare the child for the next stages of treatment, if needed.
• Dental check-up for children
  This is a basic check-up of deciduous and/or permanent teeth, performed by a paediatric dentist. The doctor will check for caries, assess the condition of the gums, teeth and the development of the bite. If necessary, they will recommend the necessary treatment.
• Paediatric orthodontic consultation
  Designed for children and adolescents who have misaligned teeth, malocclusions or abnormalities of the jaw structure. The orthodontist will assess whether an intervention is needed already of if there is still time, and suggest a treatment plan (e.g. fixed or removable braces), if necessary.
• 4in1 dental cleaning for children
  A set of four treatments: scaling (to remove tartar), air polishing (to remove sediment), polishing and fluoride treatment. It is an effective form of preventing tooth decay, which additionally strengthens the enamel and makes the child's smile brighter.

You can buy each of these services online and have them performed in the city of your choice, at one of the many Medicover Stomatologia locations specialising in children’s dental care.
