Attention and care

A Dentist for Children

A pediatric dentist specialized in children’s care operates with a different approach compared to treating adults. This includes an appropriate psychological approach, greater attention, and specific care in attitude and procedures.

Questions and Answers

Children Oral Hygiene

First teeth usually appear around 6 and 8 months old. Their cure and constant hygiene is fundamental to prevent the formation of cavities.

A good prevention, as for the adults, starts with an healthy diet with low quantity of food with high level of sugar and with the correct dental cleaning. That is why drinks with high level of sugar should not be given with the baby bottle.

When the child is not yet one year old, oral hygiene can be maintained by using a gauze pad moistened with water or a cotton swab to gently wipe the dental surfaces from the plaque that already forms.
At this stage in the child's life, other good habits are also advisable, such as avoiding dipping the child's pacifier in honey or sugar. Allowing the child to fall asleep with a sweetened pacifier exposes them to the so-called baby bottle tooth decay, which affects both the upper incisors and the molars. This condition is difficult to treat due to the young age of the patient.

It is recommended starting using the toothbrush for children from 2-3 years of age, the toothbrush should have soft and flexible bristles.
Oral hygiene should be on a daily basis, at least twice a day: neglecting it even for a few days facilitates bacterial proliferation and plaque increase, main responsible for cavity formation and gingivitis.
Teeth cleaning must be done with the right movement, brushing vertically from the gum to the tooth.
At this age toothpaste should not be used, since children at this age can not completely control the swallowing and this could cause the ingestion of big quantity of toothpaste.
It is important that teeth cleaning became a funny time and to let children do it by themselves, then help them and check that all the teeth have been brushed.

It is time for the child to learn how to brush their teeth on their own; at this age, the use of toothpaste is also recommended, with a fluoride content not exceeding 500 parts per million. The use of a "fun" electric toothbrush is also recommended.
