Paediatric dentistry: treatment stages
An objective description of the stages. Duration and the number of sessions vary from person to person; the indicative flow is planned for you at the examination.
Treatment stages
1
Introductory visit
A short visit without treatment can be arranged so the child can get used to the clinic and the dentist.
2
Examination and preventive care
Primary and mixed dentition are assessed, and preventive care suitable for the child's age is suggested.
3
Treatment if needed
Procedures such as fillings can be split into short sessions depending on how well the child copes.
4
Regular check-ups
Tooth eruption and habits are monitored at set intervals.
