Paediatric dentistry
Pedodontics / dentistry children Cluj
Paediatric dentistry or paediatric dentistry deals with the treatment of dental problems in children in both the temporary and mixed dentition when the permanent teeth begin to erupt. During the stage of replacement of milk teeth with permanent teeth (5-11 years), special care of the teeth is necessary to allow normal development of the dentomaxillary apparatus and to avoid the appearance of potential diseases of the permanent dentition.

Normally your little one's teeth should be brushed twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, but sometimes mums skip brushing in the morning when their little ones are sleepy. That's why tooth brushing in the evening is mandatory. My advice is, and not only as a dentist and as a mother of 2 children, to brush your baby's teeth before the last meal. I'll tell you why: the rule applies for little ones up to 2 years old, as the last meal is definitely breastfeeding, milk formula or formula-based formula and cereal. All of these are products that are very adherent to the tooth surface, favouring the appearance of carious processes.
The answer is a resounding YES. It's best to avoid sweets, sticky foods and snacks between meals or followed by proper brushing. Fruit, vegetables and cheese are examples of foods that don't damage teeth to a great extent.
Bottles can cause problems because the liquid in the bottle stays too long in contact with your teeth and the sugar in them can lead to dental problems. So-called 'baby bottle tooth decay' can occur. The sooner your child is taught to drink from a bottle, the better it is for them and their teeth.
