Dentist for kids<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The mouth has an extremely important role in our kids\u2019 growth, because through it they learn to get to know the outside world, they develop the primary functions such as swallowing, phonation (articulating sounds and speech) and chewing.<\/p>\n

This is why the pedodontist (dentist for kids) has a fundamental role in our clinic.<\/strong> She teaches them preventive measures to reduce the necessity of orthodontic treatments.
\nFollowing the oral growth of our youngest patients from their earliest ages is very important. This helps to maintain their “baby dentition” healthy, to \u201cguide\u201d its functional, morphological and sensorial growth, so to contribute to a correct global growth of the child.<\/p>\n

The psychological approach dedicated to children <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"dentist<\/p>\n

A good relationship between the dentist for kids and children determines their way of being patients for the rest of their lives.
\nOur approach has game and imagination stimulation as essential elements of the treatment to guarantee the most cooperation and the treatment success.<\/p>\n

Our techniques<\/span><\/h5>\n

We then use non-pharmacological techniques<\/strong>\u00a0(communicative and e behavioral ones: tell-show-do, positive support, non-verbal communication, distraction, etc<\/em>..). In combination with these techniques, we use also pharmacological ones, useful to help kids<\/strong><\/span>, teenagers and people with disabilities to reduce anxiety<\/span><\/strong>, develop a positive attitude towards the orthodontic world and finishing dental treatments in a safe and efficient way.<\/p>\n

During this delicate approach, our role as specialized pediatric dentist (pedodontist)<\/strong>, allows us to choose the best approach based on the level of the child development and his\/her inclination towards treatments. We are therefore able to evaluate the character and predict his\/her response to dental treatments. This is where the skills of the pediatric dentists are tested: being able to choose the most appropriate method to reduce the level of anxiety of the kid they have in from of them.<\/p>\n

In very difficult cases and interventions, it is possible to associate these techniques to specific practices of pharmacological anxiolysis, such as nitrous oxide,<\/u> <\/strong>a non-toxic acid which effect ends immediately after removing the mask and which is used with the purpose of reducing anxiety, stress and vomiting reflex.<\/p>\n

The first\u00a0check-up<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It represents an extremely important moment<\/strong> in the process of approach towards the orthodontic world and determines the establishment of a confidence and empathy feeling necessary to the success of the orthodontic therapy.
\nThe dentist for kids will have to make the first check-up as positive, constructive and funny as possible.<\/span> The ideal moment to suggest it is when the kid has not yet experienced dental problems nor painful diseases.\u00a0The kid will then start to get confident with orthodontist, the devices used and will learn how to recognize the typical noises and smells of the dental office.
\nA first check-up with a demonstrative purpose, in addition to a cognitive one, can therefore be an advantage.<\/p>\n

The treatment plan<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The treatment plan is also important, as it accompanies the kid until adult age and it enables him\/her to develop correct habits which will accompany him\/her during adult life. During this phase, the dentist for kids provides the useful information for a correct oral hygiene, recommendations on good dietary habits and evaluates, together with the family, the best treatment plan for a healthy and harmonic oral growth. This is done by integrating prevention protocols, interceptive surveys and therapies to correct possible functional disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Orthodontics for kids<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Centro<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between the age of 3 and 6, we suggest you to take your kid to see a dentist specialized in Orthodontics.<\/strong>
\nThis is the best moment to evaluate the health conditions of the structures which make up the craniofacial architecture. We also identify possible development anomalies regarding the position of jawbone and teeth, which can later alter the kid\u2019s oral condition as well his\/her body.
\nIt is known by now how a wrong development of maxillary bones and an altered function of the stomatognathic system (chewing, breathing, swallowing) can affect negatively on the posture, on the function and movement of other body parts.
\nIntercepting before the age of 6 the signals of a dento-skeletal disharmony enables to correct them and treat them more efficiently.<\/p>\n

In this first phase – called interceptive<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 various specialists, such as the orthodontist, the speech therapist, the osteopath and the otolaryngologist can work together with the pedodontist (dentist for kids) as the union of these different approaches allows to reach the most complete and permanent correction of any functional disorder.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the use of removable orthodontic appliances<\/strong>\u00a0and reeducation exercises,<\/strong>\u00a0we are able to arrange a correct relationship between dental arches and create enough room for dental alignment, as well as correct tongue and perioral muscles movements.
\nThe phase of early treatment does not erase the possible necessity of an orthodontic treatment in permanent dentition (second phase)<\/span><\/strong>, but it does make it simpler.[\/text_output][accordion id=”” class=”” style=””][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”What is early interceptive Orthodontics (1\u00b0 phase)?” id=”” class=”” style=””]It is defined as first-phase Orthodontics and is carried out in the period of mixed dentition<\/strong><\/span> (simultaneous presence of both baby teeth and permanent ones), usually between the age of 5 and 9. Its goal is to correct muscular forces, particularly of the tongue, which can have a negative influence on the harmonious development of maxillary bones through the use of mobile (functional) orthodontic appliances and specific exercises which help to correct the movements of the tongue and of the perioral musculature (myofunctional therapy).
\nIn this particular phase, it is important to cooperate with other specialists, such as speech therapists, osteopaths and otolaryngologists because the union of different approaches allows us to reach the most complete and final correction of any functional alteration.<\/p>\n

Therefore, interceptive orthodontics is fundamental to arrange a correct relationship between dental arches and allows us to create suitable spaces for the dental alignment, eliminating those muscular disorders which can obstruct future orthodontic treatments.<\/span>[\/accordion_item][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”Pediatric dentistry (2nd phase)” id=”” class=”” style=””]Just before the completion of permanent dentition, if necessary, we start with the orthodontic treatment which goal is to align teeth through fixed appliances (brackets) of various kind, personalized with treatment plans. For those patients who have already undergone interceptive orthodontic treatments<\/u>, the treatment will be much easier.<\/span>[\/accordion_item][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”For parents: recognizing and preventing some alarm signals” id=”” class=”” style=””]There are some child behaviors which can guide patients in choosing to meet an orthodontist. If often has to do with the so called \u201cbad habits<\/span><\/strong>\u201d which, if extended in time, will have a negative influence on the development of the kid\u2019s mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n
