What you should know about Children's Dental Care
Teaching a child to take care of his teeth is decisive for his future life. In our office, children get used to sitting in the dentist's chair without fear and learn to take care of their teeth.
Before starting work, the children's dentist playfully explains to the patient what is about to happen. The child participates in the game and already calmly carries out all the procedures and even helps. Once you have visited us, you no longer need to convince your child to go to the dentist. Children easily cope with returning to the dentist at Studio Baldinucci.
We recommend starting regular dental checkups when your child is 2 – 2.5 years old. The growth and condition of baby teeth affects the future health of permanent teeth, bite formation and even the accuracy of speech. It is best to prevent bad habits and correct any orthodontic problems at an early stage.

Dental cleaning
Children are usually not very responsible when it comes to oral hygiene; hygienic cleaning protects their teeth. At the Baldinucci dental practice, we remove tartar and plaque from children's teeth using the AirFlow system. The technique is convenient even for sensitive teeth, it is an excellent prevention of tooth decay and also a good habit.
Teeth fluoridation
Children's enamel is fragile, it does not contain enough minerals to prevent bacterial plaque and the development of tooth decay. Therefore, it is recommended to feed it externally with professional fluoride products. Within a few minutes after applying a special preparation to the child's teeth, the enamel is saturated with the necessary amount of fluoride, strengthening the natural protective barrier of the teeth. This procedure should be done twice a year, not only for young children, but also for adolescents.
Treatment of pediatric caries
Treatment of childhood tooth decay does not always involve drilling with a drill. In the early stages, fluoridation may be sufficient. The most serious lesions are treated with infiltrations and ozone therapy. We treat deep childhood caries under local anesthesia.
Orthodontics for children
Often a malocclusion forms in children at a young age. You should make an appointment with an orthodontist if:
- You notice that your child has difficulty swallowing or breathing.
- Your child has developed bad habits, such as biting his lip or sucking his thumb.
- The teeth were removed for therapeutic indications.
- The teeth have begun to warp rapidly and there is not enough space for the permanent teeth.
- Trauma to the maxillofacial region.
To correct orthodontic problems in children, we use different techniques: vestibular plates, myofunctional trainers, removable plate appliances, lip bumpers, etc.
