Why baby teeth must be treated

A common misconception: "Baby teeth fall out anyway — why treat them?" In fact, decay in a baby tooth means:

  • A source of infection for the permanent tooth growing underneath.
  • Pain and stress for the child.
  • Early extraction leads to bite problems later.
  • Digestive issues — the child can't chew normally.

At our clinic we treat little teeth gently and painlessly — most children leave smiling and ask to come back.

First visit — free We invite the child to "meet" the doctor and the room, look at the instruments and sit in the chair — no treatment. This removes the fear before subsequent visits.

What we do for children

Prevention

Professional cleaning, fluoride treatment, fissure sealing (sealing the grooves of chewing teeth with a special material — reduces cavity risk by 3 times).

Cavity treatment

Painless removal of affected tissue, colored fillings (the child picks the color!), restoring the baby tooth to its natural shape.

Silver fluoride treatment

A method for children under 3 years old, when drilling is not yet possible. The silver compound stops cavity development. The teeth turn dark, but it's safe and temporary (until the teeth fall out).

Treatment under sedation (nitrous oxide)

"Laughing gas" — a safe method for very anxious children. The child stays conscious but relaxed and unafraid. Used worldwide.

Baby tooth extraction

Gentle removal with prior anesthesia. Many children don't even notice that the tooth has been pulled.

Pediatric orthodontics

Preventive plates and trainers to correct the bite before permanent teeth emerge. Faster and easier than braces later.

How we work with kids

  1. Meeting. First visit — no treatment. The child gets used to the doctor, the room, the instruments.
  2. Playful approach. All instruments have "kid-friendly" names: "magic mirror", "little breeze", "raindrops".
  3. Cartoons during the procedure. The ceiling has a screen with favorite cartoons. It's a strong distraction.
  4. Only modern anesthesia. First — a gel that "freezes" the injection spot. Then — a thin needle. Children say "it doesn't hurt at all".
  5. Gifts and stickers. Every child leaves with a present and a "I went to the dentist — I was a hero!" certificate.

When to bring your child to the dentist

  • The first time — after the first teeth come in (6–12 months), just for a meet-and-greet.
  • Regularly — every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning.
  • Unscheduled — if the child complains of pain, has dark spots, white plaque, bleeding gums or tooth trauma.
  • At 6–7 years old — a mandatory orthodontic check (bite assessment).

Frequently asked questions

At what age should I take my child to the dentist?
First visit — after the first teeth come in (6–12 months). It's just a meet-and-greet and check-up so parents get hygiene recommendations. Active treatment is possible from 1.5–2 years old.
What if my child is afraid?
That's completely normal and we are prepared. We use a playful approach, cartoons, rewards. If the fear is very strong — we treat under nitrous oxide (safe, the child stays conscious). We never treat "through screams" — that traumatizes and reinforces the fear.
Can parents be present?
Of course. With young children (under 5) parental presence is mandatory. With older children — at your discretion; sometimes treatment goes more smoothly without parents (no extra "encouragement" at moments when the child wouldn't have reacted otherwise).
What is silver treatment and why use it?
It's coating the tooth with a silver compound that stops cavities. Used for kids under 3 years old, when drilling is too early. Downside — the teeth turn dark. But it's temporary (until the baby teeth fall out) and completely safe.
How do I prepare my child for the visit?
Don't scare them. Don't use words like "shot", "hurts", "the doctor will pull out your tooth". Say: "The doctor will look at your teeth and tell us how to take care of them." You can play "dentist" at home. The rest is our job.
