TREATMENT

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

First visit to pedodontist is a very important event in the child's life. And from the first visit depends whether dentist becomes his best friend or there will be a deep injury in the child's psyche even for the whole life. That’s why it’s better that first visit to the doctor is on preventive and familiarization visit.

When child is one year old one can tell him that he (she) is rather big and to get them acquainted with ‘teeth’ doctor: “The doctor will look at your teeth and say whether they grow in a right way”. The first visit can not be postponed more then till 3 years (unfortunately, more often we observe caries of one-year and one and a half year old children). Later on such visits should become regular – minimum 2 times per year.

If during the first visit teeth should be treated make everything possible not to transmit tour worries to your child: behave naturally and calmly. Children are not born with fair for dentist try not to terrorize your child in advance. It will be better if you don’t ‘prepare’ child for the meeting with doctor and turn the visit into the ‘event of the day’. One or two days before the visit you can play with your child in doctor: light mouth with a lamp to one another and count teeth. It is worse when the child has a bad experience of acquaintance with the doctor. In this case you should find another clinic and better such one as our which has child cabinet where doctors had special training they can behave with children and use adequate anesthesia. And before going there your should persuade child that your are going to quite different doctor and everything will be different not like previous time (but it is necessary that it will be another doctor!).

"Fisur "hermetization"

The procedure of covering of the molars’ surface with special plastic or composite sealing component (sealants) is developed for prevention of caries development in them.

The surface of these teeth has numerous thinnest furrows and deepenings (fisur) which allow to bite food better but it is practically impossible to remove food rests even by the most thorough cleaning. Sealants for protective covering or barrier which prevents penetration of bacteria and food rests on the tooth surface. As investigations have shown such covering decreases caries on teeth which are more inclined to destruction. The procedure of fisur hermetization is conducted in our clinic by one visit: doctor prepares and dries the tooth, applies sealant and leaves it to harden.

Dentistry

Some times we can here from parents: “why do we need to treat calf’s teeth if they will fall out anyway?” Unfortunately, such words can be heard even from some ‘professionals’.

But if the calf’s tooth is not healed it becomes the source of long-lasting infection which will definitely harm formation of permanent tooth. Moreover, such source of infection is harmful for the whole organism of the child because it causes danger of intoxication and very often leads to diseases of outer organs.

One should remember that calf’s teeth should be treated on time and not left to the state when they are to be removed. It is important that calf’s teeth remain till the time when they fall out themselves because they play a lot of important functions.

Teeth are important unit in digestion system even their partial loss can lead to children gastric diseases.

Full composition of teeth provides good articulation and develops useful language skills of the child and allows him/her to be confident and have the feeling of self-esteem.

Early loss (removal) of calf’s teeth leads as a rule to the formation of wrong bite because calf’s tooth ‘keeps place’ for permanent one. In absence of even one calf’s tooth other teeth began to move and permanent tooth cuts in a wrong place.

Unfortunately, calf’s teeth undergo all those diseases as permanent and that’s why they need full treatment including treatment of root canals. In Master-StoM for children treatment filling materials with calcium and fluorine are used for strengthening of tooth tissue.

In the treatment of superficial caries we do not use dental drill for removal of defective parts of tooth and use special gel. Naturally, this procedure is absolutely painless. This method is used in those cases when a big tooth defect should not be filled and cavity for filling should not be formed. Only dental drill can cope with the last task. To make this procedure fully painless in Master-SroM modern anesthetics are used and they are chosen for each child personally. And usage of contact anesthetics (gels) makes insignificant even prink for the child.

It allows to treat in our clinic children starting from 3 years old and we manage to find a way to all little patients for the solution of their problem.

But child’s cabinet in clinic Master-StoM deals not only with treatment of calf’s teeth. Very often (unfortunately, too often!) we can see ruined permanent child teeth. In these cases for the treatment of teeth the whole arsenal of means of ‘adult’ stomatology is applied including restoration of tooth with application of geleo-composit materials.

Orthodontics

Special role in pediatric dentistry plays orthodontics because to correct bite and even teeth is better in childhood. Besides, in child age preventive measures aimed at prevention of wrong bite of permanent teeth development.

For correction of child bite removable devices are used more often than for adults.

Removable device is a plastic plate for upper and lower jaws,

Plate is made individually according to the cast and fixed to the patient’s teeth by special hooks.

Plates are usually put on at night but some times they are worn constantly (when teeth are cleaned the plate is removed). For smoothing of teeth wire arcs, loops and strings are installed into removable device.

If the task is to widen the jaw a dilative bolt is settled between the halves of the plate.
Correct the bite of your child in child age when it is easiest to do. Remember the child depends on you and can't take care of its health. When your kid grows up, believe, he/she will be grateful to you for your opportune help.
