Dental practice, Torrita di Siena
Children's dentistry
The first visit comes early, around the first teeth or in any case by age three. It's for getting to know each other without rushing and for prevention, not for hurried treatment.
Baby teeth need treatment: they're for chewing, speaking and keeping space for the adult teeth. A neglected cavity in a baby tooth can hurt and complicate everything else.
What we do
- First visit and check-ups, with parents close by.
- Prevention and brushing advice suited to your child's age.
- Treatment of cavities in baby teeth and first adult teeth.
- A calm path for children who are scared.
How it works
- The first time is mostly about making friends: looking, touching, trying the chair.
- We explain what we see to you and to your child, in their words.
- If treatment is needed, we go one step at a time.
- At home there's the valley, the games and the toothbrush timer.
