What is Pedodontics?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

\n
\n

How to overcome fear of the dentist?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

What is the importance of the first examination?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
    \n
  • Remember that early treatment of issues that you may not be aware of but can be detected by the pediatric dentist can prevent permanent problems.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Interproximal cavities that are not visible to the eye and jaw development issues that could lead to aesthetic and functional problems in the future can be detected at an early stage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • For this reason, regular check-ups should be done every 6 months starting from birth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
      \n
    • Cavities and infections in primary teeth negatively affect children’s nutrition during their growth and development stages.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Unnoticed infections can damage the developing permanent teeth. Worse still, the infection can spread to the body, putting overall health at risk.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • The early loss of primary teeth can lead to crooked teeth and jaw joint problems in later years.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        What can we do for our children’s dental health?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
        \n
          \n
        • Every child should have a pediatric dentist they visit for regular check-ups.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        • Oral hygiene education should be provided by the pediatric dentist, and a regular tooth brushing habit should be established with the help of parents.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        • Preventive dental care practices should be utilized.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        • You can gift them healthy teeth that they can use for a lifetime, starting today!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          \n
          \n
            \n
          • Preventive fillings (sealants)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
          • Fluoride treatments<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

            Trauma<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
            \n
            \n

            From the moment children start walking, injuries from falls and bumps begin. Accidents and trauma from play can cause damage to both primary and permanent teeth. In case of trauma, it is crucial to visit a dentist without delay (especially if the tooth has been displaced, together with the tooth itself).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
