A child dentist Geneva is a professional who specialises in the oral care of children. Paediatric dental care (also known as pedodontics) addresses the prevention and treatment of children’s teeth, gums and jaws. It also concerns the monitoring of growth and development, management of childhood anxiety and the diagnosis of possible functional problems related to chewing and swallowing. Paediatric dentistry offers a complete range of dental treatments to meet the specific needs of each child. They can include preventive procedures such as examinations, cleanings and digital X-rays, as well as restorations, such as ceramic pedodontic crowns and white composite fillings. In addition, dental solutions such as space maintainers, orthodontic appliances and appliances for the correction of dislocated or displaced baby teeth are also available. During these appointments, the pedodontist will give your child advice on oral hygiene (brushing, dental flossing, etc.) in a playful and effective way. He or she will also recommend a specific toothbrush and toothpaste for your child’s age and condition. The first visit to the dentist is recommended before the age of 2, as it will allow you to detect any early dental problems and set up a prevention programme. The pedodontist will also be able to offer you and your child real advice, particularly on diet. In particular, it is important to limit the number of snacks, especially those containing sugar, which can lead to tooth decay. It is also advisable to avoid a diet rich in acidic products, such as fruits and juices, which can cause enamel erosion. As your child grows, his or her permanent teeth will erupt and replace the primary teeth. If the primary teeth are lost too soon or are badly damaged, it can create a lack of space in the mouth, which may result in a weaker tooth or noticeable staining. In addition, if the adult teeth grow into the wrong position, it can cause serious oral health issues such as periodontal disease and crooked teeth.
