What is baby tooth extraction?

Baby teeth are treated so that they remain in the mouth until the permanent teeth erupt; however, in some cases baby teeth stubbornly do not fall out, and the baby tooth may have to be extracted so that the tooth coming from underneath can erupt properly.

Does baby tooth extraction hurt?

In baby tooth extraction, just as in the extraction of permanent teeth, local anaesthesia is applied and the area where the baby tooth will be extracted is numbed, so that the patient feels as little pain as possible. So that children do not feel pain during the local anaesthesia procedure either, surface anaesthesia is first sprayed onto the area where the anaesthetic will be applied. In this way, the discomfort our children feel is kept to a minimum.

What is fluoride application?

Fluoride is a natural element that can be applied to both baby and permanent teeth to reduce tooth decay. Fluoride application acts especially on the hardest layer of the teeth, which we call the enamel layer, making it stronger and more resistant to tooth decay. If deemed necessary, the paediatric dentist applies fluoride to patients every 4–6 months, planned according to the patient’s risk of decay.

Fluoride application to teeth

Fluoride can be applied to both baby and permanent teeth, and it can also be applied in gel or varnish form. Please contact us for the price of fluoride application.

What is a fissure sealant?

Fissure sealants are protective applications that help teeth remain healthy in the mouth for a long time. Fissures are the deep grooves and pits on the surface of the teeth, and these areas are very susceptible to plaque accumulation and tooth decay. Filling these grooves with flowable materials, which we call fissure sealants, protects the teeth against decay and keeps them healthy for a long time. Fissure sealants are very beneficial especially when applied in the early period after the permanent molars erupt, when children cannot yet clean these areas adequately. People who have fissure sealants applied are satisfied with the procedure, both because it is a comfortable and easy procedure and because it protects the teeth from decay.

Fissure sealant prices

Fissure sealant prices may vary depending on the physical condition of the tooth to be filled and which tooth is being treated. By law, we cannot give prices on our website; however, to find out an exact fissure sealant price, you need to be examined by our dentist.
