Pediatric dentistry in St. Petersburg

Main areas of pediatric dental practice

Treatment of baby teeth. The main problem of primary teeth that pediatric dentists have to solve is caries. Caries is the destruction of hard tissues with the formation of a cavity inside the tooth. First, a small yellowish or dark spot appears on the surface of the tooth, then the tooth begins to react to sour, sweet, too hot or cold foods, bad breath, and aching pain appear.

The causes of caries in primary teeth can be intrauterine development disorders, poor oral hygiene, poor nutrition, and abuse of bottles and pacifiers (so-called bottle caries).
Treatment of caries consists of treating the surface of the tooth and coating it with photopolymerization varnishes or silver oxide, preparing carious cavities in the classical way using a drill and filling, sealing the tooth with Vitrim materials.

Treatment of pulpitis. A complication of deep caries is pulpitis or inflammation of the neurovascular bundle (pulp). Pathology can affect both baby and permanent teeth. The disease is accompanied by increased tooth sensitivity and pain. Treatment is selected by the doctor individually depending on the severity of the inflammatory process and includes both conservative treatment with preservation of the pulp and its removal.
Orthodontic treatment. Treatment of malocclusion and related problems (impaired chewing, swallowing, diction, facial asymmetry, etc.) is carried out by a pediatric dentist or orthodontist. To correct the bite and straighten the dentition, orthodontic devices are used - braces, vestibular plates, trainers, aligners, as well as special exercises to form the correct bite.
Pediatric surgical dentistry. A pediatric surgical dentist is approached to remove baby teeth, perform plastic surgery of the facial skeleton, open and drain foci of inflammation of the oral cavity (abscess, phlegmon), and the specialist also performs plastic surgery of the frenulum of the tongue or upper lip.
Prevention of oral diseases. Regular preventive dental examinations and proper oral hygiene are the main conditions for maintaining dental health at any age. In addition, pediatric dentistry offers several effective ways to prevent dental diseases in children - professional teeth cleaning, silvering, fissure sealing, fluoridation.

Most adults have memories of going to the dentist as a child. A strict doctor, a cold, uncomfortable chair, a loud drill and pain from drilling into caries - all this introduced stress and developed in many people the habit of avoiding going to the dentist until the pain becomes unbearable. Some adults teach their child this behavior, which is wrong: modern anesthesia completely blocks pain, and the patient does not feel anything during treatment. In addition, baby teeth need care and timely treatment just like permanent teeth. Therefore, avoiding a visit to the doctor is harmful. The Family Clinic offers treatment of primary teeth for preschoolers and adolescents. Doctors at our clinic are able to find the causes of diseases and select the most gentle method for their correction. The clinic has reasonable prices, and pediatric dentist appointments are held in a child-friendly manner.

In what cases should you contact a pediatric dentist?

Caries

. In childhood, tooth enamel is thinner than in adulthood. She is often affected by caries. Not all children brush their teeth with discipline twice a day and immediately tell their parents about the pain due to fear of dentists. Therefore, caries develops quickly and can spread to the permanent teeth that grow under the milk teeth. The sooner the child is in the chair of a good doctor, the greater the chance of keeping the molars healthy.

Gum inflammation

. A child’s gums are vulnerable to bacteria, which is why preschoolers and teenagers often suffer from stomatitis. With a decrease in immunity, gingivitis and even periodontitis develop. At the first symptoms of gum problems, you need to make an appointment with a pediatric dentist. Our medical center offers many services related to the treatment of gums in children and adults.

Why is it important to treat baby teeth?

Diseases of baby teeth are often asymptomatic and make themselves felt at the stage when they already have to be removed. The condition of your teeth and gums directly affects your overall health. Therefore, you need to go to the doctor for an examination and agree to treatment on time for several reasons:

How healthy or sick the baby teeth are, the permanent teeth will be just as healthy or problematic. In advanced cases, they grow up already damaged, and the child’s parents have to spend a fortune on dental services to correct the situation.
Carious and crooked milk teeth do not allow you to chew food normally and soak it with saliva. The child swallows pieces of food, resulting in gastritis and intestinal problems. All this will not happen if the parents took the person to the children's dental clinic on time, and the doctors immediately corrected the defects.
Early removal of baby teeth destroyed by caries is the most common cause of malocclusion, distortion of the shape and relative position of facial bones, and the appearance of speech defects. This leads to the appearance of complexes in adolescence and adolescence.

Preventive examinations by a pediatric dentist

The very first reason to visit the dentist is to check the frenulum of the tongue, and this must be done before 3 months. Then it is necessary to show the child to the dentist when the first incisors erupt, so that the doctor can evaluate the quality of the teeth, and the visit to the doctor should take place when all the baby’s teeth have erupted. After three years, children come for preventive visits at least 1-2 times a year or more often, depending on the condition of their teeth.

In the multidisciplinary pediatric dentistry department, you can undergo a preventive examination and a comprehensive examination of the condition of the child’s oral cavity. Our specialists treat caries of primary and molar teeth, carry out fluoridation, silver plating, fissure sealing procedures, preventive teeth cleaning, treatment of bite pathologies, etc.

The use of modern treatment methods, high-quality materials, high professionalism of specialists, a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere, sensitive, attentive attitude towards each child, absence of pain and discomfort - all this makes visiting pediatric dentistry at our clinic a pleasant and useful experience.

New technologies in dental prosthetics - what is available in Russia. New products in pediatric orthodontics

We are all direct witnesses of the active and rapid introduction of the most innovative developments in science, technology and technology into our lives. We use ideas and things that seemed like distant science fiction 20-30 years ago every day and don’t even think about it. new technologies in dental prosthetics are developing by leaps and bounds . Now not only effective methods of preserving natural teeth are available, but also unique opportunities to restore the dentition in ideal form. It's no longer a secret that most public people who shine with their perfect smiles have them only thanks to the latest achievements of dental science.

Modern technologies of dental prosthetics

Moreover, the strategy and tactics of orthopedic treatment of the dental system have also changed. Now you can forget about the terrible drills and scary guys with pincers. Modern technologies for dental prosthetics are conservative, gentle, aesthetically oriented, precision (high-precision) treatment methods. Which offer methods that are more convenient than traditional crowns and bridges. And mainly due to the durability and biocompatibility of prosthetics. It's no secret that almost a third of metal and metal-ceramic dentures were removed due to allergies to them or the occurrence of galvanic reactions in the oral cavity.

In addition, the need for prolonged grinding of teeth with mandatory anesthesia, which is often simply not perceived by patients, as well as the poor light transmission of metal-ceramic dentures - simply put - it is clear that these are fake teeth. Plus, their service life is not very long (on average 10 years), as well as the design flaws of metal prostheses make them less in demand in comparison with new technologies of dental orthopedics. Moreover, today there are less traumatic (invasive) methods of treating, preserving and restoring teeth.

Methods of treatment, preservation and restoration of teeth

The first thing that should be mentioned is computer modeling of the manufacture of dental prostheses. Previously, dentures were made by hand, so there were discrepancies between the sizes of the prosthesis and the jaw, which caused many inconveniences. Nowadays, almost all operations - taking an impression with a scanner, virtually creating a model of the future prosthesis on the jaw and manufacturing the prosthesis itself using special equipment using a computer model - are performed with exceptional precision. Of course, such equipment is expensive and only serious clinics can afford to purchase it. And computer-assisted prosthetics costs more than the old-fashioned way. But the very high quality of such prostheses, the quick adaptation to them, corresponds to the money spent.

The second important factor is modern materials for dental prosthetics , which have given a new impetus to the development of orthodontics, including children’s. Expensive metal-ceramic crowns are successfully replacing aesthetic and easy-to-install veneers. Instead of metal-ceramic dentures, implants that are completely indistinguishable from real teeth are installed. Ceramic crowns on cobalt alloys replace dentures on alloys made of precious metals. High-quality and bioinert galvanoplasty, nylon and silicone, zirconium oxide, titanium - there is a wide choice.

The third component of success is modern dental equipment. This is especially important in pediatric dentistry. There are no more these terribly buzzing drills with a burning smell. The Utkin Zub clinic has the latest generation equipment and instruments. And the most important thing is that they are qualified dentists who know and love their work.

Anesthesia in pediatric dentistry

You can make an appointment with a pediatric dentist without worrying about your baby’s comfort. The use of modern anesthetics of the latest generation makes it possible to make the treatment process completely painless.

Preparation and filling of primary and permanent teeth is performed under local anesthesia. And in order to make the injection itself comfortable, topical anesthesia is used - the doctor will first numb the injection site with a special gel. The use of gels with different flavors allows you to make the treatment process as pleasant as possible.

Which clinic do parents choose for their children?

Children's dentistry is represented by one of the leading clinics in the city - the Ilatan network of family dental clinics. Such an impressive list of benefits in full can be experienced in practice by seeking dental care for a child at one of the network’s clinics.

They have the necessary material resources, modern medical equipment and highly qualified medical personnel. The clinic’s dentists, professionals in their field, cope with tasks of any complexity and are always ready to advise patients on issues of therapy and oral hygiene.

Areas of specialization:

Therapy – filling, treatment.
Surgery – tooth extraction, frenuloplasty.
Orthodontics – correction of bite.

In addition to dental treatment for children, specialists provide advice to patients and provide recommendations on how to properly maintain teeth in good condition.

Reasons for choosing dental clinics for children Rechnoy Vokzal:

High patient confidence.
Higher specialized education and many years of experience of specialists.

Attentive attitude towards each patient.
Practical application of new innovative technologies and developments in work.
Flexible system of discounts for all categories of patients.
Constant search for new treatment methods.
Taking into account the opinions and wishes of visitors.
Regular promotions and discounts on treatment.

In addition to the fact that the dentist has the status of a highly qualified specialist, he must be able to work with children and take into account their age characteristics. The child’s psychology is such that the inability to establish contact with him may lead in the future to the fact that he will not be able to get rid of the fear of dental treatment.

The practice of pediatric dentistry at Rechny Vokzal has introduced the rule that the doctor meets the parents during the first visit to the office, followed by short-term procedures that will not tire the child: an initial examination, conversation and consultation on dental care. Based on the results of the examination, a treatment plan is drawn up, if necessary. The result of cooperation between the family and the clinic should be complete sanitation of the child’s mouth. If there are no dental problems, the doctor will take preventive measures.

What is the secret of the demand for dentistry?

The popularity of the dental network of clinics on Northern Boulevard is due to the presence of advantages in the complex. Modern professional equipment made in Europe and America is mastered by high-class specialists who work here. The work uses imported materials and modern techniques for sanitation of the oral cavity of children.

Children come to the dentist without fear. Most often, this happens for the purpose of prevention, and not for reasons of disease, since specialists carry out targeted work to train parents and children in the correct attitude towards their teeth: regular brushing, rinsing, examination every 6 months. Correctly structured work with children accustoms them to visiting the clinic without fear.

Doctors pay special attention to advising families on oral care issues for young children, since at 2-3 years old it is almost impossible to sit a child in a dentist’s chair for a long time. Therefore, the main task of parents is to prevent the occurrence of caries and inflammatory processes in the mouth. Grateful reviews from parents about the work of the clinics are evidence that the preventive measures carried out by doctors do not go unnoticed. The care, attention and friendliness of dentists towards each child are precisely the qualities that have earned the trust of patients and provide a high rating for the clinic.

Features of pediatric dentistry

Pediatric dentistry at the Family Doctor clinic in Moscow is a place where a child can relax and not be afraid of discomfort. Many kids behave cautiously around people in white coats, so it is important that the doctor is able to find a common language with the little patient. Establishing contact is one of the most important conditions for effective treatment.

To simplify the task, modern dentistry offers a lot of methods - from colored fillings, the shade of which the child can choose himself, to remineralizing gels with fruit flavors. Our clinic uses advanced methods and tools that help not only to effectively treat and prevent oral diseases, but will also arouse genuine interest in the little patient.
