Pediatric dentist – Treatment of baby and permanent teeth
Good oral hygiene from an early age is extremely important. When your child visits us for the first time, it is of paramount importance that they have a positive dental experience right from the start in order to ease them into the dental environment. Our clinic is fully adapted to the needs of children, and the friendly, positive attitude of our staff will certainly help them overcome the fear.
Why can you trust us?
Children will be treated by qualified paediatric dentists who have an excellent approach to young patients and will quickly gain their trust. At the same time, we do not act instinctively, because we regularly learn the most appropriate behaviour during the treatment of children on specialised courses.
We pay great attention to diagnostics. We perform a specialised X-ray examination, showing us the exact condition of your child’s teeth. 100% accurate diagnosis translates into faster and more effective treatment.
We pay special attention to ensure that the child feels completely safe and comfortable at every stage of treatment. We use non-invasive computer-assisted anaesthesia. We will present them to the little patient as a magic wand. We will make your child’s visit to the dentist a pleasant fun.
At the first visit, after the oral health assessment, we will prepare a dedicated program of follow-up visits for each child. We will also show you how to best take care of your teeth on a daily basis. Thanks to this, the youngest patients will enjoy healthy teeth and a beautiful smile throughout their childhood.
Pediatric dentistry – Dental clinic
Working with children requires a lot of experience and knowledge, psychological considerations are very important. The right approach, especially during the first visit, turns out to be crucial for further dental treatment. That is why it is widely considered that one of the most difficult fields of medical science is paediatric dentistry. In Poznań, your child can successfully treat their teeth under the supervision of experienced specialists from the Materna Dental clinic.
Treatment of teeth in the youngest applies to both, the baby and permanent teeth. From the very beginning, it is worth developing a habit of regular check-ups, which will result in the good oral condition of your child’s mouth. A sense of safety is incredibly important during dental visits, as it enables the dentist to encourage the child to cooperate during dental treatment.

Pediatric dentist – consultations
During the consultations, the paediatric dentist will review your child’s health at regular intervals to ensure optimal oral health. They may also offer regular cleaning, fluoride treatment to reduce the risk of dental decay, provide bespoke advice on how to look after your child’s oral health and even promote good dietary habits. Our paediatric dentists also work closest with our orthodontic team to monitor the dental development of your child. This way, we are able to provide the best advice on any developing issues with the bite and discuss how these issues may be prevented or corrected in a timely manner.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions
How to make sure that your child’s teeth do not decay?
Studies on the process of colonisation of the oral cavity by bacteria have shown that the primary source of infection is most often parents. Poor oral health of caregivers significantly increases the risk of tooth decay in the early years of a child’s life. To minimise the possibility of infection and increase the chances of developing tooth decay, the teeth should be treated by all people who come into contact with the baby on a daily basis. It is best to do this before the baby is born.
The basis of caries prevention is proper oral hygiene. Even before the first milk teeth erupt, the child’s face should be washed with a gauze pad moistened in boiled water or chamomile infusion. When the first teeth appear, regular brushing should start – the toothbrush and toothpaste should be chosen according to the age of the child. Our specialists will be happy to help you choose the right oral hygiene tools for the youngest. Another element of decay prevention are regular check-ups with the dentist, which should usually take place once every 3 months, because the tooth decay process in milk teeth is much faster than in permanent teeth.
What to do if a child has a cavity in a tooth?
If a cavity has already formed, it should be treated as soon as possible. The sooner we start treating the tooth, the smaller and less time-consuming the consequences will be. If left untreated, milk teeth can become the primary source of infection and open the way for the infection to spread throughout the body, causing lesions in distant organs – heart, joints, kidneys, and even affect the eyesight.
Can anaesthesia be used on a child?
Dental treatment doesn’t have to hurt. Similar to adults, local anaesthesia is used in children. In our clinic we use modern and non-invasive computer-assisted anaesthesia called The Wand. We will present it to the little patient as a magic wand with extraordinary magical power. Thanks to this, a visit to the dentist will turn into pain-free, pleasant fun.
