Pediatric dentistry
During the period of tooth eruption children may experience profuse salivation, restlessness, sleep disturbance, slight increase in temperature, reddening of the gums. Baby discomfort before the age of 5-6 months is extremely rare due to teething.
Milk teeth play a particularly important role both in the child's diet and in the process of harmonious development of the dentomaxillary apparatus. Premature extraction of milk teeth can lead to positional abnormalities and disturbances in the development of permanent teeth.
Baby teeth have a different structure than adult teeth. They are more sensitive and less resistant. Baby teeth are sensitive to bacteria living in the mouth and if there is no proper dental hygiene, baby tooth decay can occur very quickly.
Sealing occlusal fossae and fossae (the ones we chew with) is considered the safest method of primary prophylaxis, as it is a method of immunising these surfaces.
Fluoridation carried out in the dentist's office is a local fluoridation and consists of applying fluoride in the form of varnishes or gels directly on the surface of the teeth.
