Why It Matters
The health of baby teeth is fundamental to the correct eruption of permanent teeth and to jaw development. Baby teeth that are lost early or decayed can lead to alignment and bite problems later on.
A positive dental experience and a regular care habit built in childhood are the key to a healthy smile for life. That is why the earlier the first check-ups begin, the better.

Preventive Applications
Decay-preventing procedures such as fluoride or fissure sealants are applied as needed.
Necessary Treatments
Any baby-tooth decay is treated with child-friendly, comfortable methods.
Family Guidance
We guide you and your child on correct brushing, nutrition and care.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I first bring my child to the dentist?
We recommend the first check-up after the first baby tooth erupts, by around age 1 at the latest. Early acquaintance prevents future problems.
Baby teeth fall out anyway, is treatment necessary?
Yes. Baby teeth are responsible for chewing, speech and holding space for permanent teeth. A decayed baby tooth can cause pain and problems for the permanent tooth.
My child is afraid of the dentist, what can you do?
Our team communicates with children patiently and kindly, easing fear and building trust by making procedures playful.
What is a fissure sealant?
A fissure sealant is a painless, protective application that covers the grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay.
