At AvrupaDent Hospital, we take pride in our dedicated Pedodontics department, which offers a comprehensive approach to the oral health of kids, from infancy to early adolescence.

What is Pedodontics?
Pedodontics revolves around the preservation and treatment of both primary and permanent teeth in children, specifically those aged between 0 to 13 years. This specialized field addresses issues stemming from cavities, traumas, hereditary factors, and more. Beyond the mere treatment of existing conditions, Pedodontics is deeply intertwined with preventive measures, ensuring that children’s oral health remains robust throughout their developmental years.

Meet Our Pedodontists: Your Child’s Dental Guardian
Becoming a pedodontist isn’t just about mastering dental procedures. It involves a deep understanding of child psychology, their growth patterns, and the distinct challenges presented by the evolving oral landscape of a child. A pedodontist, or pediatric dentist, is an individual who, after their initial 5-year dental training, undergoes specialized training focusing on child psychology, growth, development, and dental challenges specific to children. These specialists, available at AvrupaDent, are skilled not only in treating dental issues but also in building trust and comfort with their young patients.

At AvrupaDent Hospital, we believe in creating a foundation for lifelong oral health. Trust our pedodontic experts to guide your child’s smile through its most formative years, ensuring a radiant future.

When the baby is a baby, the milk teeth first settle in the mouth, and when the time comes, the milk teeth fall out and leave their place to the permanent teeth. In order for this change to occur in a healthy way, milk teeth must be present in the mouth without caries until the time of fall. A pedodontist examination is recommended twice a year for the detection of any caries on our children’s teeth or for the examination of oral and dental health.

• They ensure that children do not have fear of the dentist (dental phobia), they turn dental treatment into an enjoyable game for children.
• It determines the caries risk group of the child and organizes personal protective programs.
• Informs both the child and the family about oral and dental care in children.
• It regulates the child’s eating habits.
• Arranges and applies preventive applications that can be applied before tooth decay occurs. (Fissure Sealant, Fluorine Applications)
• Performs restorative and endodontic treatments of primary and young permanent teeth. (Fillings, Root canal treatments, Amputations)
• They control the regular progress of the child’s jaw and tooth development.
• Performs preventive orthodontic treatments.
• Provides treatments to stop bad oral habits. (Finger sucking, Nail biting, Pen biting etc.)
• Makes milk teeth extractions and, if necessary, placeholder and child prosthesis.
• If the child has experienced a dental trauma, it carries out the follow-ups and treatments.
• Performs dental treatments of children who require special attention under sedation or general anesthesia in operating room conditions.

The first examination in a child patient begins with communicating with both the child and the child’s parents. After the meeting, the patient’s medical and dental history is taken. Then, clinical and radiographic examination is started. After these stages, the patient and his parents are informed about the diagnosis and treatment planning. Dentists apply many methods to protect primary and permanent teeth from major oral diseases such as caries and periodontal diseases. These; teaching the concept of oral hygiene, acquiring the habit of brushing teeth, teaching its methods, applying systemic and topical fluoride, and applying fissure sealants.

Children should be taken to the dentist for a check-up after the first tooth eruption. After that, a visit to the dentist should be repeated every 6 months for control. The clinical examination of the child by the dentist is two-stage.
Milk teeth are on average 6-8 years from birth. It begins to appear in the last 6 months and is located in the lower and upper jaws, 20 of which are around the age of 2.5 (at 30 months). Around the age of 6-7, as a result of the development of permanent teeth located under the primary teeth in the anterior region, the roots of the primary teeth begin to melt, and after a while, the milk teeth wobble or fall out. All milk teeth are changed by the age of 12.
There are 20 milk teeth in total. The most important task of milk teeth is to provide nutrition to the child. In addition, the proper development of speech also depends on the presence of milk teeth. Milk teeth protect the area they cover for the permanent tooth that will replace them and guide it while the permanent tooth is erupting. When the primary tooth is pulled out early, this natural place-holding function also disappears.

Fluoride treatments, which are accepted as the most effective treatment in preventive dentistry, can be applied in healthy individuals, individuals prone to caries, in the treatment of sensitivity and erosion in the teeth, and in individuals with systemic diseases who need special care. Applications are carried out at the frequency and amount determined according to the age and risk of caries formation of the individual.

Anatomically, the recesses and protrusions on the chewing surfaces of the molars create areas where they can stick for food. Bruises start from these areas that are difficult to clean. Fissure sealants help to create a surface on the teeth that will shallow these surfaces, reduce the adhesion of foods and facilitate brushing. It is known that after clinical applications, caries formation is reduced by 70-80%.

General anesthesia application is the process of performing the treatment by putting the child to sleep completely. General anesthesia is applied to children or young people who need dental treatment and whose behavior is not thought to improve in a short time, who do not comply with dental treatment in any way, who are afraid, show physical resistance or cannot communicate. Children with physical, mental or medical conditions are also suitable for general anesthesia. It would be more appropriate to treat very young children with a large number of bruises and abscesses by putting them to sleep. When the child wakes up, he will not remember the procedures and the fear of the dentist will not have developed.
