What is it?
Children's dentistry
Pediatric dentistry is not what it used to be. Long corridors, strict doctors, white aprons and that strong, intrusive “dentist’s office” smell that can’t be mistaken for anything else – at Medical Dent all that is a thing of the past.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our mission: to instill in our young patients the right attitude towards regular dental care and to prevent them from developing a fear of the dentist. Because we believe that prevention is always preferable to lengthy and complex treatments in adulthood, which often come at a high price.
The Recipe: At Medical dent, the little ones get the most attention. For them we have equipped a special colorful children’s corner for fun while they wait for their turn to sit on the chair. We explain the procedures and treatments in their language so that they take them as a challenge and a game. We approach their fears with care, tenderness and patience – until we eliminate them completely and build the children’s trust in the dentist.
The goal: Regular visits to the pediatric dentist for prevention, prophylaxis and timely treatments. They are a guarantee of flourishing dental health throughout childhood and throughout life.
What does pediatric dentistry advise?
The first visit to the pediatric dentist should be as soon as the first tooth appears. It may seem too early, but it’s not. Here’s why:
- The dentist will instruct you on how to care for your child's oral hygiene until they are able to do it themselves
- You will learn how to brush teeth properly and get valuable tips on how to act when consuming different foods and beverages that could affect milk teeth in the earliest years of childhood.
- Together with the dentist, you will identify potential harmful habits and find out how to deal with them so that they do not damage the jaw and bite of the young child.
- You'll catch any decay in time and heal it quickly before it leads to complications. It is important to know that milk teeth need to be kept and treated until it is time for them to fall out on their own and make room for the permanent ones.
- Together with the pediatric dentist, you will determine a schedule for the next preventive examinations. The intervals may be different, depending on the degree of caries risk in each individual child. Most often we recommend a visit once every six months, but with the riskier ones it is necessary to see every three.
- As you get older, you'll get an estimate from the pediatric orthodontist on what jaw development to expect and whether any adjustments will be needed to prevent misaligned teeth
Pediatric dentistry is clear: Good dental health of the adolescent organism depends on the simple combination of good oral hygiene and regular prophylaxis. While the former is more up to the parents, the latter is our responsibility. That’s why we make every effort to always be available for our little patients.

Children's dentistry and prevention
One of the innovations that have established themselves in recent years in pediatric dentistry, and which we recommend with both hands, is silanization. It is a fine, inconspicuous coating that is applied to the teeth and protects them from carious processes. You have probably noticed that most often in childhood, caries appear on the chewing teeth – molars. This is because their mineralization is not yet fully complete and they are vulnerable to attack by bacteria.
The invisible film of fillings protects these less mineralized areas from biofilm build-up, plaque and ultimately tooth decay. The procedure is extremely mild and is recommended for children with pronounced tooth decay or earlier eruption of permanent teeth.
Children's dentistry and treatment
Prevention in almost 100% of cases succeeds in preventing serious dental diseases and complications in children. But still, sometimes it comes to such, and then it is important to rely on your pediatric dentist.
That is why you can rely on Medical Dent Dental Clinic in case of emergency. In Sofia, we have a dedicated team of dentists around the clock who will take care of the child and assess the need for further emergency intervention.
We are also prepared for patients with special needs. If their condition requires it, we can offer treatment under general anesthesia, strictly administered and monitored by an experienced anesthesiologist. Procedures under general anesthesia are also recommended for adolescents with a strong fear of dental treatment, as long as there are no contraindications in this regard.
The best for our children!
