What Does a Pediatric Dentist Do?
Pediatric dentists are responsible for monitoring baby teeth, treating decay, managing dental trauma, providing oral hygiene training, and performing preventive practices (such as fissure sealants and fluoride applications). They also specialize in issues such as the teething process in children, tooth alignment disorders, and jaw development.
We create treatment plans suitable for all ages and help children overcome their fear of the dentist. With our friendly and patient approach, we offer a safe environment for children. You can contact us to get detailed information and start your child’s check-up.
When Should You Visit the Pediatric Dentist?
The ideal time for children to meet with a dentist is within 6 months after the first tooth appears, or at the latest around age 1. Checkups at this early stage both enable parents to learn proper oral care habits and offer a great advantage in terms of early detection of potential problems.
We start protecting your child’s oral health with precautions taken before tooth decay occurs. We provide services for healthy dental development with regular check-ups. You can get a quote from us and make an appointment to create a first examination and check-up plan.
The Importance of Early Checkups in Children’s Dental Health
Dental check-ups at an early age reduce the risk of cavities in children, prevent tooth alignment disorders and provide early intervention against intraoral traumas. It also helps children develop a positive attitude towards the dentist. Early treatment is of great importance as tooth decay can cause pain, malnutrition and self-confidence problems in children.
We make dental health permanent by making preventive applications that require less intervention with early diagnosis and on time. You can get consultancy from us to strengthen oral and dental health at a young age.
What is the Difference Between a Pediatric Dentist and a Pedodontist?
In fact, a pedodontist is a pediatric dentist who has completed his/her specialization training. A dentist who graduates from the faculty of dentistry receives 3-4 years of specialized training in the field of pedodontics and gains the title of “pedodontist.” This title indicates that he/she has more advanced knowledge and experience in the treatment of pediatric patients.
We provide both general and advanced pediatric dental treatments with our expert staff who offer treatment specific to your child’s needs. You can get a quote from us and start the treatment process to receive safe health care with the support of a pedodontist.

Fluoride application (strengthening tooth enamel)
Filling and root canal treatment (in milk or permanent teeth)
Tooth extraction (in case of necessity)
Space-maintaining appliances (for early tooth loss)
Post-traumatic restoration procedures
We perform our procedures with special treatment methods for each age group, keeping your child’s comfort at the forefront. We provide services for a painless, safe and playful dental treatment process.
Dental Protective Practices in Children
Dental protective treatments for children are preventive treatments to prevent tooth decay and maintain oral health in the long term. The most common applications include fissure sealants and fluoride applications. Fissure sealants prevent bacteria from settling by closing the deep grooves on the chewing surface. Fluoride application slows down the formation of decay by strengthening tooth enamel.
In addition, proper brushing training, gaining oral hygiene habits and regular doctor check-ups are also part of preventive practices. With our protection-oriented approach, we support children to maintain their healthy dental structure for a long time.

How to Overcome Dentist Fear in Children?
Fear of the dentist is a very common condition in children and is often caused by previous negative experiences or environmental influences. In order to overcome this fear, the child’s first examination should be painless, calm and playful. The communication between the doctor and the assistant and the child, the language used and the approach play a major role.
Instead of giving the child statements that contain anxiety such as “don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt”, parents can make the process easier by making positive and reassuring statements. Colorful environments, rewards, and storytelling can also be supportive. In our special environment for children, we make them feel safe and provide professional guidance to help them overcome their fears.

What to Consider When Choosing a Pediatric Dentist?
One of the most important criteria for choosing a pediatric dentist is that the doctor is an expert in the field of pedodontics. In other words, not just a general dentist, but a pedodontist who has received training in pediatric dental health should be preferred. Apart from this, it is also very important for the doctor to have an approach that is appropriate for the child’s psychology and to communicate patiently and explanatorily.
Designing an examination environment that is appropriate for the child, planning treatment methods that are age-specific, and actively involving parents in the process reinforces the feeling of trust. A smiling child is an indication that you have met the right doctor.

Things to Consider Before and After Child Dental Treatment
Having a full stomach before the treatment will help the child to remain calmer during the procedure. Conversations that will create excessive excitement should be avoided before the procedure, and the child’s anxiety should be reduced with explanations such as “it will only be checked”. It is ideal to plan the first session as a process of getting to know each other and adapting.
After treatment, depending on the tooth that was treated, it may be necessary not to eat for a few hours. If a filling has been made, the child should be advised to eat appropriately against hot and cold sensitivity; in cases such as tooth extraction, bleeding should be controlled and the instructions given by the doctor should be followed.
We clearly share all the stages before and after treatment with parents, ensuring that your child has a safe and healthy treatment process. You can get a quote from us to get information and make an appointment.
