Why is Baby Teeth Treatment Important?
Although baby teeth are temporary, they are critically important for your child's oral health, nutrition, speech development, and future permanent teeth. Baby teeth left untreated with the thought "they'll fall out anyway" can lead to serious problems.
With over 15 years of experience, we specialize in pediatric dental treatments. It's our priority that children make a positive start to dentistry. We offer trust instead of fear, comfort instead of pain.
The health of baby teeth directly affects the health of permanent teeth developing beneath them. Treatments done early prevent bigger problems later.
Permanent Dental Health
Caries and infection in the baby tooth can damage the structure of the permanent tooth coming from underneath.
Nutrition and Speech
Healthy teeth ensure that the child chews properly and makes sounds correctly (phonation).
Preventing Space Loss
Prematurely extracted baby teeth cause space loss, increasing the need for orthodontic treatment in the future.
Self-Confidence Development
Children who are not hesitant to smile develop much more confidently in social environments.
Pedodontics Expertise and Child Psychology
In our approach to children at Altes Clinic, we use the "Tell-Show-Do" technique. We explain every stage to the child in a language they can understand, introduce the equipment, and start the procedure after gaining their trust.
A Fun Journey For Children
Meeting and Play
Our priority in the first appointment is not treatment, but making the child like the clinic and becoming friends with the doctor.
Delicate Examination
Teeth are examined with mirrors and lighted hand tools, explained to the child like an adventure.
Comfortable Treatment
If an intervention is needed, it is completed painlessly with anesthetic sprays and child-dosage anesthesia.
Bravery Award
After the treatment, we reward our little heroes with small gifts to close the process positively.
Altes Clinic Pediatric Dental Standards
Child-Friendly Clinic Environment
Everywhere from our dental unit to the waiting area is designed to reduce children's stress.
Positive Terms Usage
We manage the process with positive and fun words instead of "Needle", "Fear", "Pain".
Preventive Dentistry
We don't just treat caries; we aim to prevent caries formation with fluoride and fissure sealants.
Family-Oriented Communication
We inform the family at every step during the treatment and provide oral care education at home.
Space Maintainer Applications
If early extraction is needed, we prepare appliances that prevent space loss until the permanent tooth arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions From Families
Key points you are curious about your child's oral health:
The baby tooth has caries, it will fall out anyway, is treatment necessary?
Yes, treatment is necessary. Untreated caries leads to pain, abscess, and crooked permanent teeth.
My child is very afraid of the dentist, what can we do?
With our patient and pedagogy-oriented approach, we harmonize with most children; in extreme cases, we have sedation options.
When should baby tooth extraction be performed?
It is applied only as a last resort in infections too large to treat and when there is no chance left to save the tooth.
Is a filling or a stainless steel crown better?
Since fillings can easily fall off in children with wide material loss, crowns provide much more durable protection.
What is a fissure sealant and why is it done?
It is a preventive procedure that prevents caries formation by 80-90% by closing the grooves on the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
