Paediatric Dentistry
Child-friendly dental care including fissure sealants, fluoride applications and primary tooth treatments.
Paediatric dentistry focuses on oral health from infancy through adolescence. At BY Istanbul, the goal is not only to treat teeth, but also to create a reassuring experience, build preventive habits early and support families with clear information.
A child-friendly dental approach
A child's first dental experiences can shape future oral health behaviour. Communication, patience and trust are central parts of paediatric care.
Why preventive care matters
Sealants and fluoride applications help manage decay risk before cavities form. They are planned according to each child's risk level and tooth structure.
Why primary teeth are important
Primary teeth support chewing, speech development and space maintenance for permanent teeth. Decay or pain in primary teeth should be evaluated rather than dismissed.
Sustainable care with the family
Paediatric success depends on habits at home as much as clinical care. Brushing routines, snack frequency and regular check-ups are discussed in a practical way.
Treatment Areas
Child-friendly dental care including fissure sealants, fluoride applications and primary tooth treatments.
Pediatric Dentistry
Examination and treatment planning are adapted to each child's age, development and communication needs.
Primary Tooth Treatments
Decay, pain or infection in primary teeth is managed with age-appropriate restorative or pulp treatments.
Fissure Sealants
Grooved molar surfaces are sealed with protective material to help reduce decay risk.
Fluoride Applications
Professional fluoride applications may be planned to support enamel and manage decay risk.
Tooth Decay Treatment in Children
Dental decay in children is planned according to age, tooth condition and cooperation.
Space Maintainers
After early primary tooth loss, space maintainers may be assessed to preserve eruption space for permanent teeth.
Dental Trauma in Children
After trauma, teeth with fracture, mobility, discoloration or sensitivity are assessed for follow-up and care.

Meet and adapt

Prevention or treatment plan

When should a child first see a dentist?
A first visit is recommended after the first teeth erupt or around age one. Early visits guide families on prevention.
Do fissure sealants hurt?
Sealants are usually quick and comfortable, applied without drilling the tooth surface. Suitability is determined during examination.
Do primary teeth need fillings?
Decay depth and the child's age are considered. Preserving primary teeth can be important for chewing and space maintenance.
Is fluoride application safe?
Professional fluoride can help reduce decay risk when used with appropriate dose and method. It is planned according to risk level.
What if my child is afraid of the dentist?
Avoid frightening language before the visit and consider the first visit as a meeting. The team explains the process in age-appropriate terms.
