Introduction

Everything you need to know about pediatric dentistry

Midsa children's dentistry valencia girl

At MIDSA, we understand that the mouth is an integral part of a child's overall development. Therefore, we address oral health by considering aspects such as breastfeeding, breathing and facial development, nutrition and dietary habits, oral hygiene from the earliest months, speech and tongue development, and jaw growth and tooth positioning.

Many parents come to the clinic simply to resolve doubts about their babies' oral care. These initial visits provide guidance on the eruption of the first teeth, oral hygiene, sucking habits, and the prevention of early childhood caries.

We also answer questions related to breastfeeding, tongue-tie, discomfort during teething, and the use of pacifiers or bottles.

A short lingual frenulum can affect breastfeeding, tongue mobility, speech development, and jaw growth.

At MIDSA we perform a complete assessment taking into account the child's tongue function, feeding and oral development.

When indicated, we can perform a frenectomy using laser, which allows for a quick and precise procedure, with less bleeding and a more comfortable recovery.

Much of pediatric dentistry involves preventing problems before they occur.

Therefore, we advise parents on how to brush children's teeth, what toothpaste to use according to age, what foods promote dental health, and when to start a preventive orthodontic assessment.

When treatment is necessary, we use techniques adapted to the child's age to ensure a calm and positive experience.

Some common treatments include the treatment of childhood caries, preventive dental sealants, childhood pulp treatments, care for dental trauma, monitoring of dental development, and interceptive orthodontics.

At MIDSA, we believe that a baby's first visit to the dentist can take place within the first few months of their life. Many families come simply to resolve doubts about breastfeeding, tongue-tie, oral hygiene, or the eruption of the first teeth.

These initial consultations are usually calm and brief, and help the child become familiar with the dental environment in a positive way.

Real cases

Real clinical cases in pediatric dentistry

Molar with MIH: conservative treatment and early protection Molar with MIH: conservative treatment and early protection
Case 1

Molar with MIH: conservative treatment and early protection

A child patient presented with a primary molar affected by MIH (Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization). Examination revealed weak, porous enamel, a characteristic whitish-yellowish discoloration, increased susceptibility to caries, and early signs of decay in occlusal load areas. This is not conventional caries; it is enamel that has not formed correctly. Teeth with MIH are more fragile, wear down or fracture easily, may be more painful even without deep decay, and have a higher risk of developing caries rapidly. Therefore, they require a specific and early intervention.

Treatment

Our goal is to protect the weakened tooth, prevent its progressive destruction, and maintain the child's function and comfort. The treatment consisted of: 1. Selective removal of affected tissue. Only in areas where deterioration is already present. 2. Restoration of the molar. Reconstruction with an adhesive material that protects and reinforces the tooth structure. 3. Fissure sealing in healthy or at-risk areas. Essential in teeth with MIH (Microdental Inflammatory Hormone). It acts as a protective barrier against bacteria: the tooth is protected and reinforced, chewing function is improved, sensitivity is reduced, and future complications are prevented. We treat today… and prevent bigger problems tomorrow.

Early tooth decay in baby teeth: detecting it early makes all the difference Case 2

Early tooth decay in baby teeth: detecting it early makes all the difference

A child patient presents with visible lesions on their primary teeth. Examination reveals opaque white spots on the enamel, the beginning of demineralization (incipient caries), and a tooth surface without deep cavities. This is the earliest stage of caries. What does a "white spot" mean? A white spot is not just a cosmetic issue; it's the first sign that the tooth is losing minerals. If left untreated, it can progress to a cavity, cause pain, and require more complex treatments.

Treatment

A minimally invasive treatment is performed for the selective removal of affected tissue (if necessary), restoration with appropriately colored glass ionomer, fluoride application to protect the tooth, and surface sealing. This treatment is ideal for primary teeth. Results after treatment include: halting the decay process, restoring the tooth's shape, achieving a natural aesthetic integration, and protection against future lesions. A simple procedure… with a significant long-term impact.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pediatric Dentistry at MIDSA

The first visit to the dentist can take place as early as the baby's first few months of life. Many families come to resolve doubts about breastfeeding, tongue-tie, the eruption of the first teeth, oral hygiene, feeding, or the use of pacifiers and bottles. These visits allow parents to be guided and help the child become familiar with the dentist in a positive way.

Tooth decay is not simply a hole in a tooth, but a bacterial and sugar-dependent disease. It occurs when certain bacteria use sugars from the diet to produce acids that demineralize tooth enamel. The three main factors are cariogenic bacteria, frequent sugar consumption, and insufficient oral hygiene.

Although baby teeth are temporary, they are essential for chewing, speech development, maintaining space for permanent teeth, and promoting jaw development. Therefore, it is important to prevent and treat cavities in baby teeth as well.

Early childhood caries is a type of tooth decay that can occur in babies and young children when their teeth are frequently exposed to sugary liquids, especially overnight. It can happen if a child falls asleep with a bottle or frequently consumes sugary drinks.

Oral hygiene should begin as soon as the first tooth appears. It is recommended to brush teeth twice a day with a child's toothbrush and use fluoride toothpaste in an age-appropriate amount. Parents should help or supervise brushing until approximately 7-8 years of age.

Pacifiers can be used during the first few months of life, but prolonged use can influence bite development and cause alterations in tooth position or palate shape.

A short lingual frenulum is an abnormality in the tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. In some cases, it can limit tongue mobility and affect breastfeeding, tongue movement, speech development, or jaw growth. When indicated, a treatment called a frenectomy may be recommended, which involves releasing the frenulum to improve tongue mobility. Currently, lingual frenectomy can be performed using a laser, allowing for a quick and precise procedure with less bleeding and a more comfortable recovery.

Some bite problems can be detected at an early age. Interceptive orthodontics allows for guiding jaw growth and preventing more complex problems in the future.
