ODONTOLOGY-PEDIATRICS

From birth until adolescence we have peculiar morphological characteristics, pyschological, diet, habit control, etc – different from those we have as adults. For this reason specific treatment is required for this stage in life.

In SOL-DENTAL, to achieve our aim of being a family-clinic, we are especially committed to dental care from birth to adolescence allowing one to reach adult age with healthy and aesthetic teeth.

Two totally distinct concepts are involved:

*1º- The morphology of one´s first teeth, medical problems that usually occur, diet, correct hygiene, bad habits, lack of fluoride etc. Bad positioning of teeth or discrepancies in size and shape in respect of the jaw or palate – a discrepancy more frequent due to an evolutionary problem (we are evolving towards fewer molars now that our diet has varied but it is evolving faster than the size of the palate which causes a condition which is to have a too-small palate too small to hold all the teeth, altering their functionality, occlusion, the possibility of good hygiene and future aesthetic). All of this is much easier to correct in infancy as we are more elastic at such ages permitting the possibility of maintaining spaces – always a better option than having to create them.

Our recommendation is that you consult us as soon as possible so that your child may familiarise himself with the clinic and his Doctor who will also be able to advise regarding good hygiene and eating habits.

*2º- The psychology of a child is different to that of an adult requiring sensitive treatment from the doctor and nurse. To achieve this objective SOL-DENTAL ensures their professionals are correctly qualified and able to perform within an accomodating infrastructure with such compliments as: specific space in the waiting rooms, inter-oral cameras and mirrors so as to see the hind teeth, games and diplomas given to reward good behaviour, special containers for first teeth etc. We also provide all the written information parents need so, together, we may achieve the ideal which is to have as few visits to the dentist as possible.
