Pedodontics - Pediatric Dentistry

What is Pedodontics?

Pedodontics is a field that focuses on protecting, treating and providing aesthetic solutions for the oral and dental health of children from infancy to adolescence. Children’s dental health has a great impact on their general health and quality of life. As Özel Ova Dental Clinic, we offer individualized treatment plans to protect the dental health of our child patients at the highest level.

What are Pediatric Dentistry Treatments?

Children’s dental development is a more delicate and careful process compared to adults. For this reason, the pediatric dentistry services we offer in our polyclinic are both preventive and therapeutic, and aim to protect children’s dental health in the long term.

• Prevention of Tooth Decay

One of the most common dental problems in children is tooth decay. The aim is to prevent the formation of cavities in children by establishing regular tooth brushing habits and tooth surface protective applications. Preventive treatments such as fluoride applications and fissure sealants protect tooth surfaces against decay.

• Placeholders

In case of early loss of milk teeth, the proper alignment of permanent teeth may be at risk. In such cases, space maintainers are used to ensure the correct development of the jaw structure and tooth alignment. Thus, the risk of orthodontic problems in the future is reduced.

• Root Canal Treatment for Children – Pulpotomy

In children, serious caries can reach the nerve tissue (pulp) of the tooth. In this case, special root canal treatment is applied to children to prevent tooth extraction. Pulpotomy is a treatment method that aims to protect the living part of the tooth.

• Child Tooth Extraction

Extraction of children’s milk teeth may be necessary for the permanent teeth to emerge healthily. However, this procedure is only performed by our dentists at the right time and with the right method. In order to prevent fear of the dentist, tooth extraction is performed with child-friendly methods and sensitivity.

• Trauma and Emergency Interventions

Children can injure their teeth during play or through accidents. Özel Ova Diş quickly and effectively intervenes in dental traumas encountered by our child patients, preventing damage or loss of teeth.

Preventing Fear of the Dentist in Children

As Özel Ova Diş, we work diligently to help children overcome their fear of the dentist and see dental checkups as an enjoyable experience. Thanks to a child-friendly environment and the friendly and understanding approach of our expert dentists, children feel comfortable and safe. Modern technologies used in the treatment process maximize children’s comfort and provide a painless and stress-free treatment.

What are the Methods for Protecting Dental Health in Children?

Parents also play an important role in protecting children’s oral and dental health. Families are provided with detailed information on how to protect their children’s teeth and the following recommendations are given:

• Regular Brushing: Children should be taught the habit of brushing their teeth at an early age. They should be encouraged to brush their teeth at least twice a day.
• Balanced Nutrition: Excessive consumption of sugary foods can lead to tooth decay. Healthy and balanced eating habits should be taught.
• Regular Dental Check-ups: Bringing children to the dentist every six months is of great importance for early diagnosis of possible dental problems.
