The development of teeth during childhood and adolescence involves a series of physiological processes that make treatment different from that of an adult. The pathologies and the way they are treated are similar, but not exactly the same. In addition, children have a smaller mouth opening, and greater difficulty in keeping their mouths open for long periods of time. They are also more easily distracted by any object around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even more important than the clinical aspects, the real difference in the treatment of children is the psychology of the child, as fear of the new plays a very important role. A child specialist (paediatric dentist) is better able to deal with children's patients because: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all have memories from our childhood that we will never forget, both good and bad. At an early age, it is understandable that certain noises, smells and new sensations can cause fear in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what if they had told you that the turbine is a shower to clean your teeth despite the noise it generates? What if we called anaesthesia sleeping water?

Instead, we should set an example and let them see you brushing and flossing your teeth to generate good habits, as they will want to imitate you and will not forget the advice we have given them at the dental clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With all this we will ensure that our children have a healthy mouth, free of cavities, or if they do exist, that the treatment is fun. We will reinforce the importance of prevention and the detection of the causes that generated those cavities, in order to avoid new cavities. Solving dental or maxillary (facial bone) problems in a fun way will make the visit to the dental clinic a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The development of teeth during childhood and adolescence involves a series of physiological processes that make treatment different from that of an adult.
