Pediatric dentist in Barcelona

Paediatric dentistry treats a child’s mouth while it is still growing, and that changes the timetable: the first visit is recommended at age one, interceptive orthodontics is done between 6 and 10, and check-ups go every six months. The assessment visit is free and you leave with a written plan.

A child is not a small adult, and the difference is not how you treat them: it is the calendar. There are things that can only be done within a particular age window, and once that window has passed the solution is longer and more expensive.

What the first visit costs and what can change the quote for a child is explained on the page about pediatric dentist cost in Barcelona.

At one year, the first visit. At three, with the full set of baby teeth, the first complete check-up. Between six and seven, when the first permanent molars come through, they need sealing, and it is also the age at which the bite is looked at: if the growth of the jaws has to be guided, it is done now, not at fourteen.

In addition, we educate children about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene and how to adopt healthy habits to ensure bright, healthy smiles throughout life. With modern technology, a focus on prevention.

Our pediatric dentistry services

We treat cavities, keep an eye on how the bite is developing and, above all, prevent: sealants, cleaning and teaching children to brush.

Caries treatment

Cavities. They are the number one reason children come in. In a baby tooth decay advances faster than in a permanent one because the enamel is thinner, so what would be a filling in an adult can reach the nerve in months in a child. Depending on how far it has gone: a filling, or a pulpectomy, which is the root canal of a baby tooth.

Children's orthodontics

Interceptive orthodontics. It is done between the ages of 6 and 10, while the bone is still growing, and that is why it can do something that later cannot be done: widen the palate and guide where the jaws grow.

It does not replace orthodontics in adolescence, it simplifies it: many cases that at 6 are solved with a simple appliance need extractions at 14. That is why the check-up at 6 or 7 is not just another visit.

Dental sealants

Sealants and fluoride. A sealant is a resin that covers the grooves of the newly erupted permanent molar, which is exactly where decay starts. It is placed without anaesthesia and without touching the tooth, in a single visit.

Dental sealants

Oral hygiene education

Teaching them to brush. With plaque disclosing, so the child sees in their own mouth where the brush is not reaching. Until the age of 7 or 8 a child does not have the dexterity to do it well alone: someone goes over it afterwards, and that is taught here too.

Oral hygiene education

Dental extractions

Extractions. When a baby tooth cannot be saved. If it is lost well before its time, a space maintainer is fitted, which keeps the gap until the permanent tooth comes down and prevents crowding.

Dental extractions

Oral cleaning

Cleaning and check-up. Every six months, which is the pace at which a child's cavity appears without giving symptoms. The check-up also looks at how the teeth are coming through and whether the bite is closing properly.
