And specially designed for children's reception colorful bright fillings for baby teeth, in addition, make the result of treatment more playful for the child.Children's dentist at the clinic Veronika ElenaGritsay.

The consultation must be comprehensive, when the doctor is not in a hurry to immediately begin treatment. Before any procedure, the doctor must carefully get to know you, the general health of the child, conduct an examination, answer your questions, and advise the parent on the cost of services. As the legal representative of the child, you have the right to have complete information about all treatment options with indications, pros and cons of each option. Also, a comprehensive approach involves joint management of the child by a therapist and an orthodontist in order to identify and correct possible bite disorders as early as possible.Photo: Clinic "Veronica" 4. Standards of dental treatment for children now include thorough computer diagnostics. It can be: · a radiovisiograph for sighting images of the tooth, which are necessary to control the accuracy of the manipulations performed by the doctor (for example, treatment of the canals and diagnosis of hidden carious cavities that are not visible during visual examination) · orthopantomograph. Pictures using this device give an overview of the entire dentogram system, a computer tomograph for older children gives a three-dimensional image of the dentoalveolar system that is required for endodontic treatment of permanent teeth, with trauma. Do not refuse to diagnose: without harm to health, you can make more than a hundred radiovisiographic images a year, but the usefulness is important - additional information for the doctor about the condition of teeth, roots, the position of the rudiments of permanent teeth. In our clinics "Veronica" is a standard, on the basis of the information received, the doctor decides on the course of further treatment. The effectiveness and reliability of treatment depends on many factors: it is the qualification and experience of the doctor, the use of modern materials, careful adherence to all stages and standards of treatment, the calm state of the child in the chair. In order not to rely on the widespread response "and we were cured by 3 teeth in 10 minutes", we will give you approximate stages of treatment of dental caries in pediatric dentistry "Veronica": - application anesthesia (an anesthetic gel is applied to the gum to reduce discomfort); anesthesia (the child should not see the syringe and hear the word "prick") - isolation (the rabbder isolates the tooth from saliva, for better treatment and for the comfort of the child) - the removal of dental deposits - the carious cavity treatment - the layer is removed layer by layer caries tissue under the control of a caries marker - the setting of matrices if caries is to be treated on the contact surfaces of the tooth - the application of an adhesive system - the layered application of a composite filling material with the polymerization lamp lighting up the material - the polishing and polishing of the seal - the alignment of the seal by bite , so as not to disrupt effective chewing. Compliance with this algorithm for the restoration of dairy or permanent teeth guarantees maximum treatment effectiveness and durability of the result a.Photo: Clinic "Veronica" 6. If the child's age, his attitude to treatment, the amount of work do not allow for the treatment "as an adult", the alternative should be in the arsenal of the clinic. Treatment of the child against the will, "in retention" leads to a great deal of stress, reinforcing the negative attitude towards the doctors, to various difficulties at this and the older age (nightmares, stuttering, aggression, reduction of self-esteem, etc.). The patient, even a small one, deserves respect, comfort and adequate analgesia, regardless of age. Therefore, modern children's clinics have the opportunity to treat in a medicinal sleep and in superficial oxygen-nitrogen sedation.Photo: Clinic "Veronica" 7. The clinic should have a license to conduct a child's dental appointment. A specialist who accepts children can be a "general practitioner" or "a dentist child's doctor." The latter means that the doctor passed an additional specialization in pediatric dentistry. It should be understood that a doctor who only has a children's reception every day has much more experience in diagnosing oral diseases, treating and knowing how to find contact with small patients than a doctor who accepts children from time to time. We wish each parent to find a clinic, in which the quality and safety of treatment will be in the priority, and the doctor to whom your child will run with pleasure!Photo: Clinic "Veronica"
