What is a Pedodontic?
In the Pedodontics department, studies are carried out to protect the milk teeth and permanent teeth of children between the ages of 0 and 14, to ensure their healthy development and to eliminate problems caused by factors such as caries and trauma. It is a branch of dentistry that monitors children's oral and dental health, jaw and facial development from infancy. Pedodontics is a specialist doctor in this department and they have special training for children's oral and dental health.

Pediatric Dentist (Pedodontics) Applications
As Kayseri Private Durupol Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic, we apply many methods with our expert pediatric dentist staff in pedodontics treatments;
Fissure Sealant Applications
In order to prevent child tooth decay, it is the covering of the chewing surface of the teeth with fissure sealants. Since microbes settle more in these recessed areas on the teeth, food accumulation and decay formation are prevented with fissure sealant application.
Fluoride Applications
It is an application that prevents child tooth decay and strengthens the tooth structure. It is applied to children who are prone to decay. Fluoride, an element that strengthens the tooth structure, protects against decay by strengthening the tooth enamel.
Placeholder Applications
It is a method applied to protect the places of prematurely lost baby teeth. They are specially prepared from plastic or metal. They are fixed or movable in place of lost baby teeth.
Children's Teeth Cleaning
If the bacterial plaque formed on children's teeth cannot be removed by brushing, a teeth cleaning method is applied by dentists. It is an application that provides protection against tartar and decay caused by bacterial plaque.
Baby Bottle Caries and its causes?
It is the decay that occurs in the incisors in the upper jaw with the eruption of child's baby teeth. As a result of babies sucking milk with a bottle before going to bed at night, milk accumulates in the mouth and a suitable environment for decay occurs. Since the dental layer is not resistant during this period, baby bottle caries progresses rapidly. After night feeding, oral hygiene should be taken care of. If bottle tooth decay is not treated, it can cause all teeth to decay over time. It causes pain and inflammation over time. It also affects the permanent teeth coming from the bottom and causes deformity. Your babies should meet with pedodontics starting from the 12th month and undergo routine check-ups for oral and dental health, even if they do not have any decay. In this way, you can prevent possible dentist phobia in the future.
