Department

Pediatric Dentistry

Our Pediatric Dentistry department assesses children's oral health in an age-appropriate way. Every child develops differently and may have varying levels of anxiety; procedures are planned with the family only after a clinical examination.

A child-centred approach

The examination setting is adapted to the child's age and communication level. Procedures are explained in simple terms beforehand, allowing time for the child to feel at ease. In urgent situations, priorities are determined through clinical assessment.

Preventive care and development monitoring

Fluoride applications, fissure sealants, oral hygiene guidance and regular check-ups form the basis of preventive care. Primary and permanent teeth are monitored; follow-up plans are created when early risks are identified.

Overview of department procedures

Caries treatment, pulpotomy, evaluation of root canal therapy in children and space maintainer applications are addressed within this department. Which procedure is appropriate depends on clinical findings; decisions are made individually for each child and explained to the family.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When should a child's first dental visit be scheduled?

A first visit is often recommended when primary teeth begin to erupt, or by the first birthday at the latest. Early visits can support preventive care and familiarity; the ideal timing is assessed individually.

How can we prepare for a paediatric dental visit?

Describing the visit in a positive, calm way can help. A favourite toy or book may be useful; if your child is anxious, sharing this with our team in advance helps us adapt the approach.

What is pulpotomy and how is suitability assessed?

Pulpotomy is a procedure in which part of the tooth's vital tissue is preserved and treated after decay or trauma. Suitability is assessed by the clinician based on the tooth's condition, the child's age and clinical findings.

When might root canal treatment be considered in children?

It may be considered in cases such as infection or deep decay in primary or permanent teeth. Developmental stage, root structure and the child's ability to cooperate are assessed together after examination.

What is a space maintainer and how is its use decided?

After early loss of a primary tooth, a temporary appliance may be placed to guide eruption of the permanent tooth. The need is assessed clinically based on tooth position, age and jaw development.

How are anxious children supported during treatment?

The child's anxiety level and age are assessed first. Communication proceeds step by step; procedures may be divided into shorter sessions if needed. The most suitable approach is determined with the family during the visit.
