Children’s and preventive dentistry

Children’s and preventive dentistry is a clinical dental discipline that deals with preventive and therapeutic procedures for the purpose of preserving oral health in children from birth to the end of adolescence.

According to a certain research that was done in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the average seven-year-old in our country has between 5 and 7 rotten teeth, which speaks volumes about how important prevention is in this whole story.

In patients of all age groups, including children, it is very important to take care of oral hygiene every day, which can become the cause of dental problems in the future. From a young age, children should be taught the habit of maintaining oral hygiene, which includes daily tooth brushing and avoiding excessive consumption of harmful foods that can have a long-term effect on damage and premature decay of teeth. It is also very important to visit a dental doctor regularly from the very beginning of tooth development.
To protect the oral health of our youngest patients, we use the following methods:

• fissure filling
• dental fluoridation
• treatment of milk teeth
  caries control and its removal
• functional and aesthetic treatment of traumatized teeth
