Pedodontics, also known as pediatric dentistry, caters to the dental needs of children from infancy through the teen years. It encompasses the management of oral health issues and the promotion of preventive dental practices, alongside educating young patients on maintaining optimal oral hygiene.
The ideal period for the examination of a specialist pedodontist is the period immediately after the first of the milk teeth erupt. Regular check-ups should not be interrupted after the first tooth appears in the mouth, and possible oral and dental health problems should be prevented by early diagnosis.
Organic matter content in milk teeth is higher than the others. This can cause them to rot quickly.
It is a pedodontic application used in early loss of milk teeth that can be seen in children. Thanks to the placeholder appliances specially prepared for the person, the advancing of the adjacent teeth into the gap left by the prematurely fallen primary tooth is prevented. In this way, its position is preserved until the permanent tooth comes.
It is observed that some teeth are more prone to decay than others. In similar cases, gels containing fluoride are applied to the teeth of the child patient and the teeth are strengthened and become more resistant to possible decay.
There are small diameter pits on the molars. These pits, called fissures, are generally known as the point where rot begins. With the fissure sealant application, the fissures are filled with a transparent filling material. In this way, it is tried to prevent possible caries formations.
Toothpaste is not recommended for babies under six months of age. With the sixth month, teeth can be taken care of using a suitable baby paste. Children under the age of seven should use toothpaste appropriate for their age. After the age of seven, children can also start using pastes produced for adults.
