Pedodonti / Pediatric Dentistry

Children suffering from pain due to dental caries cannot chew or swallow cold/hot or solid foods. Due to this malnutrition, serious infections can be seen in the head/neck and jaw region due to weight loss in children and the progression of dental caries.

Generally, the approach of families in our country is that the primary teeth will fall out, especially since school-age children have both milk and permanent teeth in their mouths. However, milk teeth usually stay in the mouth until the age of 11-12 and play a very important role in nutrition.

Pedodontists can perform all the procedures that children need, such as filling, root canal treatment, periodontal treatment, and tooth extraction. Pedodontists are the first dentists that children meet, and the harmony and good impression of the first treatments will come across the individual throughout their life.

While all branches of science deal with treatments, the most important thing for a pedodontist is the child himself and his harmony. First of all, the first sessions are the stages of acquaintance and harmony. After compliance, examinations and treatments are carried out step by step.

he general anesthesia option is emphasized for individuals who are poorly adjusted or have had a bad experience before. General anesthesia should be considered for children who have too many operations in their mouths and who are very young.
