Pediatric Dentistry in Adeje, step by step
Initial consultation
First visit adapted to the child: we review their history, explain the instruments in a fun way, and create a trusting environment.
Complete study
Examination of teeth, gums, bite, and early detection of cavities or anomalies. If necessary, low-exposure digital X-rays.
Adapted treatment
Fluoride application, sealants, cavity fillings, or root canal treatments on baby teeth, all with materials specifically designed for children.
Habit guidance and follow-up
Parent guidance on brushing, diet, and habits such as thumb sucking or pacifier use. Regular check-ups to maintain oral health at every stage.
Interceptive orthodontics if needed
In cases of crossbite, crowding, or deforming habits, we perform early treatments that guide growth and prevent more serious problems in the future.
Frequently asked questions about Pediatric Dentistry
At what age should a child first visit the dentist?
We recommend the first visit at one year of age or when the first baby tooth appears. The earlier a positive relationship is established, the easier it will be to prevent problems.
Does dental treatment hurt for children?
No. We perform treatments with local anesthesia when necessary, but only after psychologically preparing the child. The goal is that they do not associate the dentist with pain.
What happens if baby teeth cavities are not treated?
Cavities in baby teeth can cause pain, infections, premature tooth loss, and alterations in the eruption and position of permanent teeth.
How can I prevent my child from being afraid of the dentist?
With a positive approach, avoiding passing on our own negative experiences, and visiting professionals specialized in pediatric dentistry who know how to earn the child’s trust.
