Healthy teeth begin in childhood. At our practice in Vienna, our team cares for young patients with treatment methods specifically tailored to their needs. Playful communication, modern diagnostics, and preventive programs contribute to ensuring long-term dental health. We also actively involve parents in the consultation, preventive care, and treatment process.
How to introduce children to dental treatments without fear
A key aspect of pediatric dentistry is a gentle approach to young patients. Children are introduced to the treatment steps before they are performed. This approach helps to alleviate any anxieties they may have.
Our pediatric dentists use age-appropriate communication and explain instruments and procedures in a way that is easy for children to understand. The so-called "tell-show-do" method allows children to first hear about the treatment steps, then see them, and finally experience them firsthand.
Collaboration with parents also plays a vital role. Before and after treatment, findings, oral hygiene, and dietary habits are discussed. Digital X-rays help to clearly explain the situation.
Definition of pediatric dentistry
Pediatric dentistry deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental diseases in childhood. This includes measures for caries prevention, the treatment of primary teeth, and comprehensive education on oral hygiene. The goal is the healthy development of both primary and permanent teeth.
Elements of care for children and parents
- Age-appropriate explanation of treatment steps
- Individualized recommendations for dental care and nutrition
- Recall system for regular check-up appointments
- Small rewards to motivate children to attend preventative appointments
This approach helps children perceive dental visits as a normal part of preventative healthcare.
Schedule an appointment for your child's first examination.
This is how an appointment for young patients proceeds
Getting to know each other and examination
The child first becomes familiar with the practice environment and the instruments. This is followed by an initial examination.
Discussion of findings
The results are explained in an easy-to-understand way. Parents receive information on dental care and preventative measures.
Treatment
If necessary, gentle treatment is carried out using instruments and materials specifically designed for children.
Aftercare and preventive care planning
Recommendations for dental care and regular check-ups support healthy tooth development.
When is treatment advisable – and when is it not?
Not every dental visit automatically leads to treatment. Often, preventative care is the initial focus.
Treatment is advisable if:
initial tooth damage or cavities are detected
pain or sensitivity occurs- preventive measures such as fluoride treatment or sealant
- application are recommended
- regular check-ups take place
Treatment is not necessary if:
- no abnormalities are present and only a routine check-up is being performed.
- Or the visit is solely for familiarization with the practice, without any medical findings.
