Children first teeth appear at the age of 6-8 months, and the dental row is then gradually supplemented with new milk teeth.

During this period it is important to monitor how the teeth come in and to consult Vishnyak Dental Clinic in good time for professional advice from a dentist. Regular prevention makes it possible to diagnose any problems in time and provide effective treatment.

The temporary (milk) bite forms closer to the age of 3. And children who have turned 7 can already show their parents permanent teeth. The upper and lower incisors appear first, followed by the 6-year molars. It is worth noting that children teeth are quite vulnerable: milk teeth have thin enamel and dentin, while permanent teeth need a certain amount of time for the enamel to mature and the root to form. That is why it is very important to visit the dentist and bring children for preventive check-ups, since the doctor can address any problems that arise in good time.

Children should be introduced to dentistry from an early age, so that they understand how important it is to look after their dental health and keep up their hygiene. Young patients should know that the children department does not perform painful procedures. That is why the clinic organises introductory visits specifically for little ones.

Vishnyak Dental Clinic offers children appointments conducted by qualified dentists with solid experience. A child first visit to the children dental department should be as comfortable as possible, so that children later come to the doctor with pleasure. In a quiet and friendly atmosphere, little patients trust the dentist and feel no fear. Modern materials, innovative technologies and specially developed techniques make it possible to perform all procedures completely painlessly, quickly and as effectively as possible.

Fillings

Because children enamel is very vulnerable and immature, caries is a common problem that causes pulpitis. For filling canals, the clinic uses special materials with good adhesion. The dentist begins the filling after local anaesthesia, or carries out treatment while the child is in medication-induced sleep.

The extraction procedure

Milk teeth need to be removed when there is an inflammatory process, or if a milk tooth has not yet fallen out while the permanent one has already erupted. Before extraction, the specialists in the children department prepare the child and help them calm down. Before starting the extraction, the dentist administers high-quality anaesthetics.

Caries prevention

Preventive check-ups make it possible to preserve not only milk teeth but also permanent ones. Diseases of milk teeth negatively affect the health of the permanent dental row. Fluoride treatment, professional cleaning, fissure sealing and many other procedures performed by the doctors in the children department make it possible to keep the teeth healthy for as long as possible.

The fissure sealing procedure

Fissures are physiological grooves on the chewing surfaces of a tooth. Food and dental plaque that accumulate in these grooves often cause fissure caries. To avoid such problems, children aged 6-7 undergo a fissure sealing procedure using materials of special composition. Dentists advise not to delay and to seal the fissures even before the permanent teeth appear.
