Pedodontics; It is a specialty that aims to protect the health of the milk and permanent teeth of children between the ages of 0-13, to treat caries in the early period and to reduce the fear of dentists. The aim is not only to treat, but also to protect long-term oral health by giving the child the right oral care habits.
Who is Pedodontics Suitable for?
Babies and toddlers whose first teeth have just erupted
Children with decay, pain or sensitivity in their milk teeth
Children who have difficulty in examination and treatment due to fear of dentists
Children with dental damage after trauma (fall/impact)
Children who need early control in terms of jaw development and malocclusion
Procedures applied in pedodontics include approaches such as preventive treatments, fissure sealants and fluoride applications that reduce caries formation, deciduous tooth fillings, pulp treatments when necessary, and space maintainers in early losses. The goal is to manage the treatment process without frightening and prioritizing comfort while protecting the dental health of the child.
Pediatric dental treatments begin with communication aimed at gaining the child’s trust. After the examination and necessary imaging, an age- and need-appropriate plan is created; patient comfort and fear management are prioritized throughout the process.
1. First meeting and familiarization
2. Inspection and necessary assessments
3. Child-specific treatment plan
4. Implementation and preventive follow-up

Pedodontics Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry
At what age should children go to the dentist?
A check-up is recommended with the eruption of the first tooth or at the latest around the age of 1 year. In this way, caries risks are managed at an early stage.
Milk teeth will fall out anyway, do I need treatment?
Yes, it is. Milk teeth are important for chewing, speaking and the correct alignment of permanent teeth. Early loss can lead to orthodontic problems in the future.
Is dental treatment painful in children?
Treatments are usually performed comfortably under local anesthesia. The process is managed step by step according to the child’s anxiety.
What do you do with children with fear of the dentist?
First, the child is accustomed to the environment; trust is established through communication and behavior guidance techniques. Where necessary general anesthesia / sedation options can be evaluated.
Is fissure sealant and fluoride application safe?
It is safe when performed under the supervision of a physician with appropriate indications. It helps to reduce the risk of caries and is an important part of a preventive approach.
Why do you need a placeholder?
When a deciduous tooth is lost prematurely, neighboring teeth may shift into the space. A space maintainer can help the permanent tooth erupt in the right place.
