Paediatric dentistry is dentistry dedicated to children and to caring for young smiles.
At our practice, we welcome children of all ages, from pregnancy through to age 12, with an empathetic, gradual approach that respects their individual pace. The aim is not only to treat any problems, but also to build a positive relationship with dental care from the very beginning. We pay particular attention to children with special needs, disabilities or neurodevelopmental conditions, adapting communication, timing and treatment methods to each child.
Every child receives attentive, empathetic and personalised care, so that prevention becomes the first step towards a healthy smile that will accompany them throughout life.
THE FIRST VISIT TO THE DENTIST
International guidelines recommend a first dental visit by the child’s first birthday or when the first tooth appears. The purpose of this visit is prevention, not treatment.
It is an opportunity for discussion with parents, providing personalised guidance on oral hygiene, fluoride use, healthy eating habits and the management of behaviours that may affect the development of the mouth.
For the child, it is an opportunity to become familiar with the practice in a calm and playful way, creating a positive experience that reduces the risk of developing a fear of the dentist.
