Paediatric dentistry

Paediatric dentistry is a branch of dentistry whose role is to care for and treat the various oral and dental diseases from earliest childhood (including newborns) until growth is complete.

At Oralitá we see children as patients who deserve special care, which is why we are a renowned dentist for children and teenagers in Barcelona. The good health of the primary or baby teeth is vitally important, as the good dental health of the permanent teeth they will use for the rest of their lives will depend on it to a great extent. Preventive diagnosis is therefore very valuable, allowing early correction of any problems that could cause conditions in the future. Above all, it is important to teach little ones, the sooner the better, to keep up good oral hygiene and healthy eating habits.

Common treatments in paediatric dentistry

Fluoride treatment

This preventive treatment is carried out to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. We especially recommend it for patients who have had tooth decay in the past.

Oral hygiene / mouth cleaning

It is very important to instil good mouth cleaning from an early age, and to do so, good dental hygiene habits must be followed. At Oralitá we offer regular check-ups where we give toothbrushing lessons and children are taught to look after their mouths properly and independently.

Tooth decay

Tooth decay is the most frequently diagnosed condition in both childhood and adulthood. This infectious disease is usually caused by a high sugar intake and has serious consequences for the child’s health.

Dental trauma

When you are little, knocks, falls and accidents are very common. These often affect the teeth and must be treated urgently. That is why it is recommended to go to the dentist immediately so that the dentist can examine the patient and decide whether treatment is needed.

Orthodontics / orthopaedics

At Oralitá we assess facial growth to detect any bone conditions at the earliest stage, so that they can be treated with interceptive orthodontics. In some cases orthodontics can help the jawbones and teeth develop correctly. That is why orthodontics, or a dental brace, is used to correct abnormalities or anomalies in bone or tooth growth.
