\n\t\tPEDIATRIC DENTISTRY\n\t<\/h3>\n

\n\t\tPediatric Dentistry\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

At Murtra, we want to take care of the little ones in the house with a comprehensive approach, where the <\/span>pediatric dentist<\/b> and <\/span>orthodontist<\/b> evaluate each child's growth, habits, diet, and development, and, if their masticatory system requires it, help guide or correct dysfunctions in the simplest way, always keeping in mind preventive and restorative dentistry.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\tWhy don\u2019t we work with insurance companies?\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

A d\u00eda de hoy las mutuas solo cubren los tratamientos pero no la prevenci\u00f3n, y por tanto, nuestro enfoque integral preventivo no encaja en su oferta, pero… \u00bfno cre\u00e9is que es m\u00e1s barato invertir en una visita preventiva anual, que no en un empaste caro y molesto?<\/p>\n

That is why <\/span>our first visit costs \u20ac40, and annual check-ups \u20ac25<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\tWhy are baby teeth so important?\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Baby teeth are important for your child because they contribute to three fundamental pillars: proper chewing and digestion, correct speech and language development, and last but not least, the ability to smile and be happy as a tool for self-esteem.<\/p>\n

From a <\/span>comprehensive preventive approach<\/b>, healthy baby teeth help us control the normal bone and muscle development of the maxilla and jaw, maintain space for permanent teeth, and guide them as they emerge so they are positioned correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"IMG_6803\"\n

\n\t\tWhen should the first visit to the pediatric dentist or pediatric dentistry specialist be? \n\t<\/h3>\n\t

THE MOST RECOMMENDED TIME (at the latest) IS <\/span>BY ONE YEAR OF AGE<\/b>; the moment when the first baby teeth have already emerged and parents should learn about healthy eating habits, as well as be alert to indicators that may cause malocclusions (e.g., thumb sucking, prolonged use of bottle and\/or pacifier, disproportionate jaws or teeth, or biting cheeks or palate).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\tWhat to expect during their first visit\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

La primera visita al dentista debe ser agradable y positiva, y para ello es de vital importancia la colaboraci\u00f3n parental empezando desde casa. Es importante que los mayores eviten palabras como \u00abaguja\u00bb, \u00abtaladro\u00bb, \u00absacar\u00bb, \u00abdolor\u00bb delante de los ni\u00f1os. Se deben buscar sin\u00f3nimos que den el mismo mensaje pero que suenen placenteros, y as\u00ed se evitar\u00e1 la conocida ansiedad o fobia al dentista.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we emphasize that ideally, they should attend their first visit without any problems or pain, as the goal of the first visit is to make the child feel comfortable and earn their trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once at the clinic, we always invite parents to enter and stay in the treatment room during the initial examination, but in future visits, we will suggest allowing our staff to accompany the child.<\/p>\n

La Dra. Diez hablar\u00e1 con ellos, d\u00e1ndoles tiempo a que se expresen y nos cuenten cuales son sus h\u00e1bitos de limpieza, sus meriendas, el chupete, el dedo… siempre buscando la participaci\u00f3n risue\u00f1a de los m\u00e1s peque\u00f1os, y que a su vez, los padres est\u00e9n presentes para que luego en casa sepan como fomentar el cuidado bucal diario de sus hijos (iniciando las rutinas desde el nacimiento), el tipo de dieta conveniente para evitar caries (buscar las meriendas mas saludables), entender la importancia de acudir a\u00a0 las revisiones personalizadas, pastas de dientes, fluorizaciones…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is time to examine their teeth, gums, frenula, tonsils, and everything necessary to understand their development and detect harmful habits such as: atypical swallowing, thumb sucking, jaw deviations, mouth breathing\u2026 with the aim of correcting them early with the help of our <\/span>ORTHODONTIST<\/b>. For this reason, we emphasize the importance of annual joint check-ups; visiting our specialists each year will help address any problems that may arise.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\tX-rays in children?\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Siempre que sea necesario se deben realizar radiograf\u00edas diagn\u00f3sticas<\/b> para poder detectar patrones de erupci\u00f3n dental, agenesias, caries, caninos incluidos, y evaluar posiciones \u00f3seas para las planificaciones de ortodoncia… pero la necesidad de diagnosticar no se ri\u00f1e con la seguridad, y por ello en Murtra solo usamos rx-digital (emiten radiaci\u00f3n similar a la que absorbemos por el sol), cumplimos con todas las recomendaciones ALARA (As Low As Reasonable Achievable), y adem\u00e1s siempre usamos protectores de plomo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And if necessary, we also have the most advanced 3D imaging technology.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"P1015903\"\n

\n\t\tWhen to see the pediatric dentist?\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

During pregnancy<\/h3>\n \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that all pregnant women receive a good oral check-up during pregnancy along with good advice on maternal and baby dental care. For this, our pediatric dentist will examine and advise you on how to learn to have good oral hygiene habits, learn to reduce the bacterial load with eating guidelines that require understanding hidden sugars, guidance on breastfeeding\/formula feeding, the correct use of the pacifier and bottle, etc.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In their first year of life<\/h3>\n \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

En los beb\u00e9s de entre 6 a 12 meses, la salud dental es primordial debido a que nos encontramos con la erupci\u00f3n de su primer diente. Y CUANDO ESTO OCURRE, SE DEBE PEDIR HORA PARA LA PRIMERA VISITA (Pide tu cita aqu\u00ed<\/i><\/a>). La finalidad de esta primera visita es realizar una primera exploraci\u00f3n de la cavidad oral para detectar frenillos cortos, anquilo glosias, aparici\u00f3n de c\u00e1ndidas, ense\u00f1ar la pauta de su nueva higiene oral, y detectar problemas de lactancia, chupete…MAKE SURE THE FIRST VISIT IS NO LATER THAN THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE!<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Annual check-ups<\/h3>\n \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
