TEDAVİLERİMİZ

OUR TREATMENTS

Dental Treatment with General Anesthesia

Some of our children experience a fear that they cannot control during dental treatment. Some of our children, although they do not experience fear, cannot tolerate dental treatment due to nausea reflex. Or, sometimes it is not possible to perform dental treatment in a dental clinic for our children with special conditions and special care requirements. For these reasons, patients who we cannot help in clinical conditions are treated under general anesthesia in a fully equipped hospital. Our children are examined by an anesthesiologist before the procedure. Treatment performed with an experienced staff brings permanent solutions. Many children with anxiety come to their check-ups after the procedure without fear and of their own free will.

Treatments Applied to Milk Teeth

Milk teeth are important for chewing, speaking aesthetically and guiding the permanent teeth that come from below. Milk teeth lost at an early age also affect the placement of permanent teeth. Our children should not have to endure toothaches that even adults cannot endure. For this reason, treatments such as filling, root canal treatment and extraction of decayed teeth should be done urgently.

Fissure Sealant

We call the pits on the chewing surface of the teeth "fissures". Tooth decay progresses most from these pits. Protecting this area, in other words, covering it, is a way to protect teeth from decay without experiencing pain and discomfort.

Fluoride Applications

Acid formed in the mouth is one of the main reasons for tooth decay. Fluoride prevents bacteria from forming acid and protects our teeth against decay. It makes teeth stronger by joining the structure of young individuals. It is the most effective element known against decay and its harmful effects are at a tolerable level. The use of fluoride is recommended against tooth decay.

Permanent Tooth Traumas in Children

Permanent tooth fractures are a common situation. First of all, without panicking, the broken tooth piece should be found, placed in some milk and brought to the dentist. If possible, a Pedodontist (Child Dentist) should be consulted. If the tooth is completely out of place, it should be held by the visible part in the mouth without touching the root of the tooth, washed with clean water and placed in milk. Your dentist can place the permanent tooth in its place. For any type of trauma, it would be best to contact your dentist as soon as possible.

Baby Teeth Traumas in Children

In cases where a baby tooth is displaced, it is not replaced as it is in permanent teeth. Replacing a baby tooth may damage the permanent teeth below. After trauma, baby teeth may have shifted in different directions in the mouth. In such a case, your doctor will decide on the necessary treatment with an X-ray.

Placeholder

Our baby teeth have a duty period in the mouth. When this period is completed, they become loose, fall out and leave their place to the permanent tooth coming from below. If a baby tooth is lost prematurely for any reason, it is necessary to protect the space of the lost tooth until the tooth below erupts. In order to prevent the teeth from becoming crooked, to prevent the need for orthodontic treatment in the future or to eliminate the time and cost of orthodontic treatment, it will be necessary to make a space maintainer.
