Pedodontic applications involve the examination and treatment of both baby teeth and permanent teeth in children. Our specialists closely monitor the eruption of permanent teeth and the health of baby teeth, as well as the overall oral condition of the child. From infancy, Pedodontists handle the oral and dental care process. They manage any bacterial or inflammatory issues detected during the teething stage. The treatment process includes addressing dental problems such as cavities, tooth extractions, abscesses, tartar, and toothaches. Once a child turns 13 and has all their permanent teeth, they will be treated in our general dentistry department.
Pediatric dental treatments are only offered to children aged 0-13. Patients older than 13 receive treatment in the general dentistry department. The treatments provided in our Pedodontics department include:
In addition to these treatments, other methods deemed necessary by our specialists may be applied.
In pedodontic applications, a total of 20 baby teeth are treated. Our specialists provide professional guidance on children’s nutrition, the teething process, and oral care during the early stages. Healthy baby teeth are essential for proper speech and chewing development in children. Poorly developed, decayed, or misshapen baby teeth directly impact jaw development. To ensure the health of permanent teeth and overall oral health, maintaining the health of baby teeth is crucial. Baby teeth act as space maintainers for permanent teeth, ensuring they grow in correctly. Early removal of baby teeth can lead to misaligned permanent teeth and future orthodontic problems. Our pedodontists focus on maintaining the health of baby teeth to ensure the future health of permanent teeth.
Preventive methods are used in pedodontic treatment to address developmental issues in both baby and permanent teeth. From the time baby teeth begin to emerge, these methods aim to prevent any oral and dental problems in children. As one of the primary goals of pediatric dentistry, this approach helps prevent oral and dental diseases in the future. Pedodontic applications, known as preventive dentistry, protect dental health from an early age. To prevent cavities and dental deformities and to teach children good oral hygiene habits, our specialists use protective applications such as fissure sealants and fluoride treatments.
