Pediatric Dentistry at Dent VIP, Chisinau, Moldova
Your child’s dental health starts with proper care and regular visits to the pediatric dentist. At Dent VIP, we understand the importance of creating a positive first impression at the dental clinic to make every visit comfortable and beneficial.
When to start caring for your child’s teeth?
Cleaning baby teeth should begin as soon as the first tooth appears (usually around 6-8 months of age).
- Parents should brush their baby’s teeth with a soft brush and a minimal amount of children’s toothpaste.
- This should be done twice a day: in the morning and before bed.
The first visit to the pediatric dentist
The first visit to the pediatric dentist should be for preventive purposes, not when pain or problems arise.
How to prepare your child for the visit:
- Talk to your child about the importance of visiting the dentist.
- Prepare a small gift for good behavior.
- Create a positive attitude before the appointment.
What happens during the appointment:
- The doctor gets acquainted with the child and conducts an examination.
- Parents are given recommendations on how to care for their child’s teeth.
- If necessary, the doctor identifies initial problems and develops a treatment plan.
Preventing pediatric dental problems
- Correct bite:
- Avoid using inappropriate pacifiers and prolonged thumb sucking.
- The dentist will help correct habits that affect the bite.
- Baby bottle tooth decay:
- Avoid excessively sweetened juices and drinks.
- Breastfeeding is preferred.
- Mouth breathing:
Constant mouth breathing due to frequent colds can disrupt the correct bite. The doctor will notice the problem in time and recommend measures to restore nasal breathing. - Short lingual or labial frenulum:
- Can cause malposition of teeth and speech problems.
- At Dent VIP clinic, frenulum correction can be performed at an early age, which will help avoid the need for speech therapy in the future.
Why is it important to treat baby teeth?
There is a misconception that treating baby teeth is not important because they will eventually be replaced by permanent teeth. However, this is a fallacy:
- Malocclusion:
Premature loss of baby teeth leads to improper positioning of permanent teeth. - Serious complications:
Untreated caries can cause dangerous complications such as an abscess or cellulitis, requiring serious treatment.
Methods of caries prevention:
- Fissure sealing: sealing the grooves on chewing teeth to protect against cavities.
- Fluoridation: strengthening tooth enamel with fluoride compounds.
Early caries diagnosis
Early diagnosis of caries allows for minimal intervention and avoids significant emotional and financial costs.
- Regular visits to the dentist twice a year allow for the detection of caries in its early stages.
- The doctor uses modern diagnostic methods to identify hidden caries.
Example:
A mother brought her child to Dent VIP for a routine checkup. The dentist noticed incipient caries on a molar and performed a quick, minimally invasive treatment. The child did not experience any discomfort, and the problem was resolved in its early stage.
