Pediatric dentistry · from age 1.5

First visit — tear-free.

A dedicated pediatric wing, a doctor who works only with children, Tell-Show-Do methodology, and nitrous oxide sedation. If your child isn't ready for treatment, we don't treat — we get acquainted.

01Approach

No "just bear with it".

Children don't have an adult's ability to endure discomfort. So we work in a way that means they don't have to — slowly, at the child's pace, with the option to stop at any moment.

01

Tell-Show-Do

We explain, demonstrate, let them touch. Only then do we treat. The child understands every step.

02

Nitrous oxide sedation

Nitrous oxide with oxygen via a mask — eases anxiety without switching off consciousness. Safe from age 3.

03

Separate treatment room

Isolated from the "adult" part of the clinic. Its own toys, cartoons on the ceiling, nothing scary in sight.

04

A doctor who only sees kids

Elena Markova — pediatric dentist for 9 years. Member of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD).

02By age

Every age has its own plan.

1.5–3 years

Getting acquainted

First visit — just sit in the chair, look at the tools, meet the doctor. No treatment.

3–6 years

Prevention

Cleaning, fluoride treatment, early caries care. Nitrous sedation if the child is anxious.

6–12 years

Mixed dentition

Monitoring tooth transition, fissure sealants, first orthodontic consultation — plates or trainers.

12–18 years

Teens

Braces, aligners, permanent tooth treatment. Teen aesthetic consultation.

03Tips for parents

How to prepare your child.

Don't scare them

"If you don't brush, the dentist will drill" is the worst thing to say before a visit.

Don't promise "it won't hurt"

If something is uncomfortable, your child will lose trust. Better: "it might pinch a little, but only for a moment".

Arrive 30 minutes early

So your child can look around the lobby, meet the receptionist, and settle in.

Bring a toy or book

A familiar object is an anchor. Let the doctor hold it too — "so Teddy can have a look".

Good to know

A child's first dental visit should be at age 1, not "when the first problem tooth comes in".

Ten years ago Elena chose pediatric dentistry because she was tired of seeing adult patients carrying fear from childhood. Now she doesn't transmit that fear — she breaks the spell. Since 2019, she has participated in the EAPD international programme for non-operative adaptation.
