How to care for children's teeth?
Modern dentistry.
All our specialists assist in dental treatment and daily care – dentists, orthopaedists, oral hygienists, an orthodontist and a periodontologist. We restore lost teeth, place implants, raise the bite, do aesthetic fillings, fit prosthetics and remove wisdom teeth. Panoramic and dental X-rays are taken for diagnostic and treatment-monitoring purposes. For seniors and teenagers up to 18 we offer prosthetics with reimbursement from the National Health Insurance Fund. For children – exceptionally careful dental care: sealing with fluoride gel and dentist check-ups. Children come to the dentist willingly, because they watch cartoons throughout the treatment.
Parents must understand that whether children's teeth will be healthy or damaged by decay depends on their own efforts. It's no accident that tooth decay and periodontal diseases are called behavioural diseases. In other words, they are the consequence of a person's improper behaviour. It's very important that a child comes to the dentist for the first time not when they're in pain, but just for a check-up, to get acquainted and to talk with the doctor. Parents are usually the first to give a child an understanding of dental treatment, so you must present your experience to the child properly. It's important that you tell them as much as possible that treating little teeth is fun; you can look for books or cartoons in which dental treatment is playfully depicted. A good way to prepare for a visit to the dentist is to play “dentist at home” with the child. It's especially useful for children to watch older brothers', sisters' or parents' dental check-ups or suitably chosen simple treatment procedures. It's a chance for the child to get to know the dental office, its staff and the materials. After this visit your child will stop being afraid of the doctor, and the specialist will become their friend and the guardian of their little teeth. Children and parents should visit the dentist for prevention no less than every six months.
Care of milk teeth and its importance.
From the very birth of a child, when the first milk teeth begin to come through, oral health must be taken care of. The most common disease, which is not genetically inherited, is tooth decay (caries). It's caused by bacteria in the mouth if the child doesn't clean, or cleans poorly, the dental plaque. So children must be trained to clean their teeth from their earliest days.
