Pediatric dentistry

Many of us have experienced unpleasant memories from the dental chair in childhood, which continue to cause wrinkles on our foreheads even after years, and as adults, we may still have fear of sitting in the dental chair again.

However, it is precisely in childhood that we, as dentists, can detect early stages of dental and soft tissue diseases, address and stop harmful habits, and teach you and your child proper dental care to prevent unpleasant visits.

At Alexia Creative, we prioritize the dental care of young children from an early age, before problems have a chance to arise. We strive to build a relationship with every little one, using playful and patient approaches to prevent issues and identify potential problems before they occur.

If treatment is necessary, we aim to make it as painless and efficient as possible. 

DID YOU KNOW...

• Baby teeth are much more susceptible to tooth decay than permanent teeth?
• That's why preventive check-ups for pediatric patients twice a year are crucial for identifying problems. During the check-up, we examine the tooth surfaces, the condition of the gums, mucous membranes, hygiene, and if necessary, we take digital dental X-rays to detect any hidden tooth decay .
• Freshly erupted permanent molars can be protected against tooth decay?
• Sealing the teeth significantly helps maintain healthy teeth without the need for treatment into adulthood. However, it's important to perform this procedure as soon as possible after the eruption of a permanent tooth when its surface is still unaffected by decay .
• Can a decayed baby tooth affect its permanent successor ?
• In exceptional cases, deep tooth decay in baby teeth can cause disturbances in the development of permanent teeth. Similarly, premature loss of a baby tooth can result in misalignment or improper eruption of the permanent tooth, potentially requiring orthodontic treatment later in life. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of prevention to avoid tooth decay and prompt treatment if it occurs.
