Children
For many years we have guided our professional practice through a preventive spirit, according to this we have developed the Preventive Plan.
It has been developed for children between four and fifteen years old.
We believe that children, should incorporate preventive techniques, which are easier, faster and less expensive than dental treatments. It is much easier to prevent than to treat cavity problems when they are already installed.
The Preventive Plan consists on a one hour appointment, where siblings are taught how to brush and learn about nutrition. Their occlusion is checked from an orthodontic point of view, and they go through cleaning and a fluoride application.
The preventive measures vary for different children, depending on their cavity susceptibility.
The “Preventive Week” takes place in our office since 1993. It is an incredible opportunity for children to embrace a preventive culture, in a recreational manner. It is an activity they really treasure.
It is absolutely possible not to have cavities. This involves a gradual learning process, that consists on transmitting oral health parameters. Like in every learning process, perseverance is very important, and the parents´ role is of extreme importance. 97% of our children don´t have cavities. Our mission is to instill prevention from the very early stages.
