Pedodontics (Pediatric Dentistry)
Pediatric Dentistry, also known as pedodontics, is the department that aims to protect the milk and permanent dental health of children aged 0-14 and to treat the diseases that occur. The pedodontist specialist, who treats your child's teeth, eliminates the fear of the dentist that may occur in the future, and ensures that your child is more compatible and conscious about dental health. Because pedodontists aim to win the love and trust of the child with psychological approaches in line with the philosophy of "think of the child first, not the female". Then, they aim to perform dental treatments painlessly with a gradual treatment approach from easy to difficult.
What Does a Pedodontist Do?
As soon as the milk teeth erupt, regular check-ups should be made by the pediatric dentist. Fissure sealant and fluoride can be applied to prevent dental caries. After these treatments, your children continue their normal daily lives. The child's dental treatment also prevents bad habits such as thumb sucking, clenching and grinding. Each treatment is planned and applied in accordance with your child's teeth and mouth structure.
What is Fissure Sealant?
Fissure sealant, one of the basic applications of pediatric dentistry, is a preventive dental treatment in which the recesses and grooves of the chewing surfaces of the molars are covered with a liquid filling material. It is applied to protect milk molars and prevent caries in children aged 4-6 years. The fissure sealant, which fills the gaps and gaps in the molars, prevents decay by providing sealing. Fissure sealant treatment, also known as dental vaccination, should be applied at a young age to protect dental tissues.
