Pediatric Dentistry in Barcelona
INOBA
Pediatric dentistry is a specialty dedicated to the oral health of children, covering from the first stages of life without teeth to the complete development of the palate and upper respiratory tract, including the eruption of temporary and permanent teeth.
It is recommended that children's first visit to the dentist take place around the first year of life, in order to assess the growth of the jaw and maxilla, monitor proper tooth eruption, and detect possible pathologies, such as the presence of cavities.
In addition, during these visits, parents will receive information and guidance to promote proper oral health in their children. Topics related to hygiene and tooth brushing are addressed, and advice is provided on preventing bad habits that may affect the child's oral development.
Some of the most common conditions affecting children's oral health include tooth decay and dental trauma. Common pediatric dental treatments include application of sealants, pulpectomies, fillings, fluoride application, and orthodontics.
At our pediatric dentistry clinic in Barcelona, we focus on providing specialized and friendly care to ensure optimal oral health for children. Our goal is to provide preventive and corrective treatments, as well as educate and advise parents so that their children maintain good oral health throughout their lives.

It is very important to take care of your child's baby teeth. Baby teeth are important for your child's long-term dental health and have several important functions. First, baby teeth help your child chew and swallow food properly. In addition, baby teeth hold space for permanent teeth and help guide permanent teeth into their proper place when they come in. Baby teeth are also important for your child's overall health as they can affect his or her speech and ability to eat nutritious foods. Therefore, it is important to keep your child's baby teeth clean and healthy through proper cleaning and regular dental care.
