Are you looking for a pediatric dentist?

Pedodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children aged approximately 3 to 16 years. A pediatric dentist is a specialized professional in this field, with specific training to address the unique needs of younger patients.

In our Clinic, you will find a well-prepared and welcoming team ready to greet every young patient with warmth and understanding, with the goal of making their experience as positive as possible.

What does a pediatric dentist do?

The first appointment with a pediatric dentist is typically a check-up and preventive visit, aimed at assessing the proper growth of teeth and the absence of carious lesions. During this visit, the dentist will gradually build a trusting relationship with the child, explaining everything in a straightforward and pleasant way… almost as if a jovial game.

It is important for children to become accustomed to visiting the dentist from an early age, in order to prevent future dental problems and start practicing proper dental care from the beginning. A pediatric dentist can be an important point of reference for the entire family, offering useful advice and constant support in managing the oral health of the little ones.

What is the most appropriate age to schedule a first appointment?

Typically, we advise parents to bring their children to the dentist at around the age of 3-4, when their baby teeth have started to emerge.

3 helpful tips to prepare for the appointment:

It is crucial, especially during these initial stages, that the child does not associate the dentist with anything negative. The role of the parents is crucial at this stage. Here is some advice:

  • Allow the child to choose a toy to bring to the clinic
  • Avoid using negative words such as “pain”, “anxiety,” or “fear” when referring to the dentist
  • Choose a day free from other commitments for the appointment and prepare the child in advance for the event.
