Making dental treatment less dramatic

The valuable expertise of the paediatric dentist, trained in pain management and a child-friendly psychological approach, is based on gentleness and a sense of pedagogy. The paediatric dentist ensures that treatment is carried out in a climate of trust and cooperation.

The first consultation

The first consultation is at the heart of a good relationship between the young patient and their dentist. It allows the child to gain confidence and the dentist to give the parents the main information. This diagnostic visit consists of a complete oral examination and X-rays if necessary. This first visit takes place at around three years of age, which allows for an initial contact without the issue of treatment. A check-up every six months to a year is essential to ensure good oral health for your children and to monitor the change from milk teeth to permanent teeth.

Preventive care

Preventive care includes fissure sealing of the permanent molars, which is effective in preventing possible cavities when these teeth erupt from the age of six.

Treatment of milk teeth

Milk teeth (or temporary teeth) play an essential role in children’s oral health. They enable chewing, phonation and provide space for the permanent teeth. Although they are temporary, their treatment is crucial to prevent future complications.
