An environment made for them

Colourful spaces, toys and child-sized instruments turn the visit into a moment of familiarity. This relaxed atmosphere lets us handle even delicate situations successfully, reducing stress for child and family.

Prevention from the first teeth

Prevention is the heart of paediatric dentistry. Italian Ministry of Health guidelines for childhood recommend early check-ups: acting early builds habits that last a lifetime.

  • Fluoride prophylaxis and fissure sealants to prevent decay
  • Intercepting habits (thumb sucking, prolonged dummy use)
  • Attention to baby-bottle decay, to protect milk teeth
  • First orthodontic visit around age 6 to guide growth

Conscious sedation for anxious children

For children who fear the visit, conscious sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen makes the experience serene, keeping them alert and cooperative. It is one of the most precious tools to turn fear into trust.

Frequently asked questions

At what age should the first visit be?

Ministerial guidelines recommend early check-ups: we advise a first visit in the very first years of life, when the first teeth appear, mostly to educate parents.

Should decayed baby teeth be treated?

Yes: they guide the growth of permanent teeth and hold space in the arch. Neglected decay can cause pain, infection and future alignment problems.

Is conscious sedation safe for children?

Yes: nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen has been used for decades, requires no fasting, clears within minutes and is monitored by the team.
