Pediatric dentistry
Pediatric dentistry
Many parents believe that young children should not have their teeth treated. “Money and effort should not be spent on primary teeth” is often said – but this can result in neglect and danger to your child’s dental health. The basis of permanent teeth is directly affected by the condition of your child’s primary teeth, as a decaying primary tooth can be a fertile ground for decay in permanent teeth. Spreading of caries can also cause gum inflammation – remember that we have no replacement for gums!
Efficiency of pediatric dentistry
Pediatric dentistry can preserve your child’s teeth, and here are some additional benefits:
- Anxiety reduction
Treatments applied sooner rather than later tend to be easier for the patient. A good and pleasant experience at the dentist’s clinic at a young age can also help your child in future visits to the dentist.
- Proper guidance
Dental treatments for children include oral hygene and dietry guidance, as well as tips for efficient teeth brushing.
- Follow-up
Regular follow-up of your child’s teeth can prevent deterioration.
When should you take your child to see a dentist?
Regular visits to the dentist can be beneficial for early diagnosis of caries and detection of early signs of damage to your child’s teeth. Even if your child does not suffer pain or complain of discomfort, the dentist can detect an initial damage and apply treatment.
Of course, in case of pain, swelling, inflammation or appearance of any other simptoms, a dentist should be seen for an emergency treatment.

Who performs dental treatments in children?
Dr. Ackerman’s Dentistry Clinic employs a staff of pediatric dentists who specialize in treatment of children (including scared children). It is known today that a positive approach towards the child during treatment can help design their attitude towards dental treatments in the future. The dentist should be able to practice patience and explain their actions through the treatment. It is also known that dental treatments that include explanation to the patient can reduce anxieties and relieve tension.
