Pediatric Dentistry

Children’s dentistry is a combination of dentistry and pediatrics and includes preventive and therapeutic care of teeth, gums and oral cavity for kids and adolescents.

Teeth start their development and mineralization long before birth. Most of the milk teeth and some permanent teeth are formed in the first six months after birth, and by the age of 2.5 years almost all permanent teeth buds are in place. This is the critical moment for your child to see the dentist for recommendations.

Here at GMS Dental our top priority is the psychological comfort of our little patients.We do our best for them not to be afraid of the dentist’s visit.

Nowadays pediatric dentistry is focused on prevention of dental and oral diseases. Fluorine is one of the most important elements for dental health. The main sources of fluorine are:

• food enriched with fluoride
• fluoride toothpaste
• fluoride treatment

Fissure sealing is one of the simplest and most effective preventive care procedures. Fissures are naturally formed bumps on the surface of the chewing teeth, where the enamel is thinner and the bottom is hard to reach with a toothbrush. This increases the risk of caries. Fissure sealing is a process of filling them with a special agent that goes deep into the fissures and covers them with a thin but firm layer.

Caries is a disease that damages tooth enamel and allows pathogenic bacteria into the inner dental structures. Early stages of caries can be treated by ICON infiltration method,which is painless and drilling-free. Advanced stages of caries require tooth restoration with fillings.

Milk teeth and permanent teeth are different in structure. Milk teeth are more porous, less mineralized, with thin enamel and wide root canals.It allows an easier access of germs into the inner layers of the tooth and causes pulpitis and periodontitis. Children develop pulpitis more often than adults, but usually the condition is painless. However, sometimes it can be painful and accompanied with swollen and sensitive lymph nodes. Timely treatment of pulpitis prevents more complicated diseases such as periodontitis.

Periodontitis is most common in adolescents. The main reasons of it are:

• poor oral hygiene
• short frenulum of the tongue or lip
• abnormal bite
• systematic and chronic diseases

Treatment of periodontitis requires consultation of several dental specialists: general dentist, orthodontist, dental surgeon. Special attention should be paid to proper bite formation. Abnormal bite is not only esthetically displeasing, but also causes dental diseases.

Please make a habit for your child to see a dentist twice a year.
