Pedodontics or pediatric dental medicine is a branch of dentistry dedicated to the oral health of our youngest patients. This important field of dental medicine encompasses various preventive measures (such as fissure sealing, oral hygiene education, fluoridation, regular check-ups) and interventions on primary and young permanent teeth.

The first dental visit should be planned during the eruption of the first primary teeth, which typically occurs in the first year of life. This early approach is crucial in making the child sensitive to dental procedures and helps prevent fear of the dentist. It also allows us to detect potential issues early and inform parents about preventive measures.

The first visit to the dental medicine specialist is often aimed solely at introducing the child to the dentist and the clinic environment to avoid negative reactions. During this meeting, we provide children and parents with information on proper oral hygiene techniques, demonstrate instruments, and provide guidance on proper nutrition and cavity prevention.

Primary teeth are extremely important for the proper growth and development of permanent teeth. The loss of primary teeth prematurely or due to significant cavities can lead to orthodontic problems. At Poliklinika Delić, we understand the importance of children's oral health and are dedicated to providing careful and expert care to our youngest patients to ensure healthy smiles and future oral comfort.
