englishOral health during childhood bears direct repercussions upon development through to maturity.
We will take care of the integral care and maintenance of the bucco-dental well-being of your little ones, watching to ensure the correct hygiene and eating habits are acquired with specialist paediatric dentistry techniques.
We recommend a visit to the paediatric dentist every 6 or 12 months.
When to take children to the dentist?
Is a question that all parents ask themselves. In general terms, we recommend that the first visit to the paediatric dentist should be once all the primary teeth have come through, around the age of three.
How to prevent tooth decay in children?
From the age of two, the child should be initiated into oral hygiene, always with the help of an adult and using the appropriate toothbrush for their small mouths together with the right amount of toothpaste.
From eight years of age, the child should be responsible for his/her own buccal health, with sporadic supervision from an adult.
Today we are going to the dentist
Children can get frightened of unknown people and places but fear at going to visit the paediatric dentist is not something that is natural.
Currently, paediatric dentistry techniques facilitate treatments with minimal discomfort although the conduct of the dentist is not always pleasant (generating fear in both children and adults). If we don't want the child to have this attitude when he/she visits us, we must act with prudence and without lying.
Firstly, and most importantly, you must not condition fear by recounting your own unpleasant experiences nor use a visit to the dentist as a threat.
Confidence and security must be conveyed to the children when they visit us and avoid lying with phrases such as "it won't hurt" or "you won't feel a thing" given that one sole bad experience will mean that your child will no longer trust in your calming advice.
The best way forward is to tell your child that we will always take care not to cause pain and that if he/she gives a warning sign, the paediatric dentist will bear in mind his/her discomfort.
