Dental Treatment for Children

A happy and smiling child who is not afraid of visiting the dentist is a reality. You need to take care of health from an early age, especially if you want to keep your child’s smile beautiful and teeth healthy. It is the first visit to the dentist that in many ways forms the attitude of the child to dental treatment or a simple preventive examination. A pediatric dentist must be not only highly-qualified but also have the ability to find the right approach to a small patient.

Methods for the prevention and treatment of children’s teeth

Deep fluoridation of children’s teeth is carried out in the following cases:

• to protect the thinned weakened enamel of primary teeth that have a predisposition to the development of multiple dental caries;
• for the treatment of initial caries of permanent teeth;
• to treat the hyperesthesia of the teeth;
• to protect the fissures of recently cut temporary and permanent lateral (chewing) teeth.

Ozonation of children’s teeth

Ozonation of children’s teeth is carried out for the prevention and treatment of initial caries without “drilling”, that is, without using a dental drilling machine. In some cases, with a deeper carious process, it is still necessary to use this equipment, but to a much lesser extent. The method of ozonation of the teeth allows for safe and effective removal of up to 99% of microorganisms that cause caries.

Dental fissure sealing

The method of dental fissure sealing has been successfully used around the world for more than 30 years with 95% success. This type of treatment is recommended in the early stages after the tooth cutting. This procedure does not require the use of a dental drilling machine. The process is painless and very effective in terms of preventing caries.

Treatment of children’s caries and its complications

Before the treatment of caries or its complications, the pediatric dentist must conduct a careful examination of the teeth and oral cavity, identifying all possible defects and carious lesions. If necessary, an additional X-ray examination is carried out on a digital device of a new generation in the reduced load mode for children. Then the procedure of removing dental deposits and plaque is carried out. After the anaesthetization with the STA computer apparatus, treatment can be initiated. Early dental caries is treated using the aforementioned methods. If the process is deep enough, the dental drilling machine must be used. Due to modern methods of anesthesia (anesthesia using the STA device), and effective anesthetics, the child does not feel any pain and discomfort. During such procedures, it is important to create the most comfortable conditions for maintaining a calm emotional state of the child.

Primary tooth extraction

The extraction of primary teeth is a rather important procedure that requires great care and skill. It is especially important to determine the reasonability of such extraction. Primary teeth have thin alveolar walls, as well as thinner and longer roots than those of permanent teeth. Anesthesia during the extraction of primary teeth is carried out in cases of severe inflammation, with acute pulpitis or periodontitis. If it is necessary to remove a loose tooth, then anesthesia is not necessary.

Pediatric orthodontics

Сorrection of children’s occlusion is a very important process, as early orthodontic treatment allows you to avoid a lot of dental problems in the future. The best time for the first visit of the orthodontist is the age of 3 years when the formation of a milk bite is completed. Children’s orthodontic dental treatment depends on the age of the child, the individual bite situation, as well as many other factors (development of the dental system, etc.). During the consultation, orthodontists and dentists will conduct all the necessary diagnostic procedures and offer the most effective treatment methods. As a rule, the treatment is carried out with the help of dental plates, mouthguards, fixed equipment: braces, or with the help of other orthodontic appliances.

Children’s dental treatment in the sleep

There are situations when the child categorically refuses to establish contact with the doctor, despite all his/her attempts to make friends with the little patient. In those situations, where treatment cannot be postponed until later age, dental procedures can be performed using Sleep Dentistry method (or Sedation Dentistry). Professional anesthesiologists and pediatric dentists have sufficient experience in such cases and will do everything necessary to ensure that dental treatment in the sleep is performed in a safe and comfortable environment for your child. The medicines used for intravenous sedation are certified, safe, and quickly removed from the body.

In addition to the diagnostics and dental treatment, children’s dentists of Avanto clinics will also advise parents on proper nutrition, rules for teeth cleaning and oral hygiene, and tell you what to do in a situation if your child is afraid to go to the doctor. Modern pediatric dentistry allows you to maintain healthy teeth and a beautiful smile from an early age, and our children’s dentists have the necessary experience and professional skills to conduct any kind of procedures for young patients in the most comfortable conditions.
