A healthy smile starts in childhood
During a single visit, our young patient underwent comprehensive dental treatment under general anaesthesia, ensuring a calm, comfortable and safe treatment experience. The treatment included the treatment of 6 teeth, the application of a protective coating to 6 teeth to help prevent caries, professional oral hygiene and deep fluoridation to strengthen the tooth enamel. The full crown portion of 3 out of 4 front teeth was aesthetically and functionally restored. As a result of the treatment, the function and aesthetics of the teeth were restored, the overall oral health was improved and the foundation was laid for maintaining a healthy smile in the future. After extensive dental treatment, the gums may temporarily feel sensitive or appear slightly red. This may be related to the procedures performed during treatment. These symptoms usually improve within a few days. If your child needs dental treatment or a consultation regarding primary teeth, oral health or treatment options under general anaesthesia, we invite you to book a consultation with our paediatric dental specialist. During the consultation, the child’s oral health will be assessed and an individual treatment plan will be developed.

At the age of two, dental health is already very important
So-called “baby bottle tooth decay” can develop very early, especially if a child often drinks sweetened drinks, milk or formula from a bottle, particularly before bedtime or during the night. In this case, the young patient had 4 primary front teeth restored and another 6 primary teeth treated - 10 primary teeth were treated in total. Primary teeth are not “just temporary teeth”. They help a child eat, speak, develop a proper bite and maintain space for the permanent teeth. Important to remember: start brushing teeth from the very first tooth; do not let a child fall asleep with a bottle in their mouth; avoid frequent consumption of sweet drinks; take the child to the dentist regularly, even if there are no complaints. The earlier a problem is noticed, the gentler and simpler the treatment can be. The treatment was carried out under general anaesthesia. During dental sanitation, the gums may sometimes be slightly traumatised. This is normal, especially when several teeth are treated in one visit. Usually, the gums heal within a few days if the doctor’s instructions for oral care are followed.
