Dental development
Understanding paediatric dentistry
Caring for baby teeth also helps protect permanent teeth.
Primary teeth play an important role in chewing, speech and maintaining the space required for future permanent teeth. Regular monitoring can help identify cavities early, detect habits that may influence development and recognise situations that may require orthodontic assessment.
At EstheticaPlus, the consultation is organised progressively: a welcoming introduction, discussion with the parents, gentle examination and simple explanations adapted to the child. A treatment plan is established only after clinical assessment.

Dental care for children
Care adapted to every stage of childhood.
The treatments recommended depend on the child's age, cavity risk, dental condition and ability to cooperate. Every indication is confirmed during the consultation.
Cavity treatment
Conservative care for primary or permanent teeth, with each stage of treatment explained gradually in child-friendly language.
Tooth protection
Depending on individual risk, fluoride guidance, fissure sealants or other preventive measures may be recommended by the dentist.
Pain & dental emergencies
Assessment of dental pain, a broken tooth or trauma in order to identify the most appropriate clinical management quickly.
Orthodontic monitoring
Monitoring tooth eruption, alignment and jaw development, with referral for orthodontic assessment when appropriate.
Oral habits
Assessment of thumb sucking, prolonged pacifier use and other oral habits that may influence tooth position and facial development.
A consultation without rushing
What happens during the appointment?
The aim is to gather useful information, examine the child's mouth and build trust before any treatment is considered.
Welcome
Discussion with the parent about general health, oral habits, possible pain and previous dental experiences.
Building confidence
A simple introduction to the environment and dental equipment, using vocabulary appropriate for the child's age.
Examination
Assessment of the teeth, gums, bite and development. Additional examinations are recommended only when useful.
Personalised plan
Explanation of priorities, possible treatments and practical recommendations for oral care at home.
Prevention at home
Healthy habits between dental visits.
Consistency is more important than perfection. Recommendations should be adapted to the child's age and individual risk as assessed by the dentist.
Brush the teeth morning and evening with adult help or
supervision depending on the child's age.
Use a soft toothbrush appropriate for the size of
the child's mouth.
Choose an appropriate fluoride toothpaste and quantity
according to professional dental advice.
Limit the frequency of very sugary foods and drinks
between meals.
Seek dental advice promptly if pain, sensitivity,
swelling or another oral problem appears.
Pain or dental trauma
When should you request an urgent appointment?
Persistent pain, swelling, a broken or displaced tooth, unusual bleeding or difficulty eating should be assessed promptly by a dentist. If a child has significant general symptoms or difficulty breathing, contact the appropriate emergency medical services.

Growth & alignment
The link with children's orthodontics
Monitoring tooth eruption and jaw development may reveal limited space, differences in jaw relationships or functional habits. An orthodontic assessment can then be recommended at the appropriate stage of development.

Paediatric dentistry FAQ
Common questions from parents.
At what age should a child have their first dental visit?
The AAPD recommends establishing a dental home within six months of the eruption of the first tooth and no later than 12 months of age. Contact EstheticaPlus to confirm how the appointment should be organised according to your child's age and needs.
Why treat a baby tooth if it will eventually fall out?
Primary teeth contribute to chewing, speech and maintaining the space needed for permanent teeth. Untreated decay can also cause pain or progress to infection.
How should I prepare my child for a dental appointment?
Explain the visit simply and positively without promising that your child will feel absolutely nothing. Avoid anxiety-provoking language and allow the dental team to explain each stage using age-appropriate vocabulary.
My child is afraid of the dentist. What should I do?
Tell the clinic about this fear when booking the appointment. A first visit may focus on conversation, familiarisation with the environment and a gradual examination depending on the child's needs.
When should a child be seen for a cavity?
Dental advice should be sought when a visible spot, cavity, sensitivity or pain appears. Cavities can also progress without obvious symptoms, which is why regular dental check-ups are useful.
Does paediatric dentistry include orthodontics?
The dentist monitors tooth eruption and development. If an alignment or growth concern is identified, the child may be referred for an orthodontic assessment.
How can I book an appointment at EstheticaPlus?
Use the contact page and include your child's age, the reason for the consultation, any symptoms and your preferred dates. The team can then provide the appropriate practical information.
