Don’t make it so easy to take your child to the dentist! Many parents who bring their children to the dentist think that it’s too easy to get a filling. Just fill it up and that’s it? In fact, it is not as simple as you think, the pediatric dentist’s job is not really that good. The whole consultation process may involve various aspects, which need to consider the child’s cooperation, the severity of decay, the need for X-ray, the general health condition, the parents’ acceptance and awareness, and the communication situation. Each child’s situation is different, and each parent’s situation is different, so a comprehensive assessment is needed before a specific detailed treatment plan can be made: 1.First of all, choose a trustworthy pediatric specialist dentist. 2.If conditions allow, you can first get initial communication with the dentist through the Internet to get a rough idea of your child’s situation before the consultation, and you may also get some helpful dental care and protection advice in advance. 3. Make an appointment for the first consultation. The first visit is very important to the child, should be curiosity-driven, let the child to play and explore the mentality and mode to complete the first interaction with the dentist, the child’s first impression of the dentist is also very important, even the color of the dentist’s clothes are very important factors. Parents can think of their first visit as a special playful exploration for their child. Depending on the age and cooperation of each child, the first visit should be based on confidentially communication and the simplest examination and treatment, and should not involve anesthesia, deep caries treatment or endodontic treatment, especially avoiding the first tooth extraction (unless the situation is special). In the clinic, we often meet some parents who ask the dentist to fill all the decayed teeth when they bring their children to see the dentist for the first time, the psychology of the parents is understandable (it is not easy to come to the dentist once when they are busy and live far away), such treatment is convenient for the parents, but it is very unfavorable to the children, and the treatment experience of the children will be very poor, and they may feel the pain of seeing the dentist on the first visit, which will be deeply rooted in their mind from then on. In addition, the treatment time arranged by the dentist for each child is often limited, and the effectiveness of the treatment is often not guaranteed in a hurry. During the first visit, the dentist will systematically check the child’s entire mouth and give specific treatment plans and recommendations according to the child’s cooperation and general condition. Many severely decayed teeth may involve x-rays, endodontic treatment (“nerve killing”), local anesthesia (modern pediatric dental techniques place great emphasis on painlessness and comfort), extractions, and even one-time dentistry under general anesthesia (DGA technique). Another important part of the first consultation is the full communication between the parents and the dentist, when something called trust is very important (an experienced dentist only needs to meet the parents’ eyes or talk to them for a few minutes to basically feel trusted). Of course, there will still be many parents first consultation is mainly to consult the child’s dental situation and then consider, or want to ask a few more expert opinion, and then the final decision on the treatment plan, these are completely understandable (each family on this one baby, can not be sloppy) 4, follow-up mode: including temporary observation of the regular check-up follow-up and the need to intervene in the treatment of treatment-type follow-up. Children’s examination-type follow-up generally according to the situation of each child, the dentist will recommend 3-6 months is appropriate. For the therapeutic follow-up, the general treatment order will be simple first and then complex, superficial caries first, then deep caries, then endodontic treatment and finally extraction treatment, 1-2 teeth at a time, or one area at a time, with a follow-up visit every 1-2 weeks. Of course, each child’s situation is different, and according to the specific situation at the time of treatment, according to the dentist’s suggestion arrangement, accompany your child to complete a wonderful adventure, painless and comfortable dental experience, and experience the charm of modern children’s dentistry together.
