Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric Dentistry in Kyiv

Visits to a pediatric dentist are one of the most important and challenging moments for parents. Young children may find it difficult to understand the importance of these procedures, but it is during early childhood that the foundation for healthy teeth for life is established.

Modern pediatric dentistry allows your child to visit the dentist painlessly and positively. From the first years of life, your child learns to take care of their teeth properly, and most importantly – will visit the dentist with a smile.

Common Misconceptions

A common mistake regarding pediatric dentistry is thinking that baby teeth don’t need attention until permanent teeth come in. Pediatric dentists at UMA CLINIC insist: toothbrushing should start as soon as the first tooth erupts. Regular dental check-ups not only maintain oral health but also teach the child to care for their health and to visit the dentist on time.

Children’s Dental Treatment

The most common issues pediatric dentists at UMA CLINIC encounter are:

· Cavities

· Pulpitis

· Periodontitis

· Poor oral hygiene habits

Treating baby teeth is just as important as treating permanent teeth, because permanent tooth buds lie directly beneath baby teeth. Harmful microorganisms and diseases can spread from baby teeth to permanent teeth.

Additionally, issues with baby teeth affect the formation of proper bite in the future. Timely and high-quality treatment of your child’s first teeth prevents future dental problems, orthodontic treatment, and other unpleasant procedures.

What to Expect During a Visit

UMA CLINIC uses the latest composite materials, as well as metal and zirconia crowns for restoring baby teeth.

To teach children proper oral care, UMA CLINIC uses bright and engaging educational materials, and pediatric dentists are skilled at connecting with almost any child.

Because pediatric dentistry is not only about check-ups and lessons, it is important that the child is psychologically prepared, and parents play a key role. UMA CLINIC dentists recommend:

· Explain to the child where they are going and why, in an age-appropriate manner

· Avoid mentioning pain or fear, and never threaten the child with the dentist or procedure

· Bring toys or favorite cartoons on a phone

· Reward the child with a small gift after the visit

If a child refuses treatment or is extremely anxious, UMA CLINIC uses medicated sedation, allowing procedures to be completely painless and unnoticed by the young patient.
