What does the child’s first consultation mean and how long does it take?

[cmsms_row][cmsms_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsms_text]

Dear parents, your child will visit us more, less, or not at all prepared for the consultation. A dental treatment undertaken purposefully in the first session is justified only in an emergency. Besides, quality treatment cannot be performed without the child’s cooperation.

If you prepare him enough to start the treatment at once, we will be happy to save time.

If your child is too young or unprepared to accept or re-accept dental treatments, we can help him/her. However, sometimes there are immediate results, some other times they are expected longer.

A child who starts therapy at 30-36 months old may immediately accept the consultation, but sometimes it may take him/her about 200 minutes (divided into several sessions) to fully accept and have a positive attitude towards effective dental treatments. We are specialized and therefore ready to have all the patience needed in the introductory sessions.

At HappyDent Clinic, according to importance, the order in the medical visit is the child, the tooth, the filling.

Therefore, the first consultation can take up to 30 minutes, taking into account that a child’s patience can take up to a few minutes. The first consultation does not include an operative treatment (filling, extraction, etc.) because it is our first opportunity to get to know him/her and – unhurriedly – draw up a realistic dental treatment plan.

To draw up a dental treatment plan, the parents must choose and accept the methods of approaching the child: psychologically or pharmacologically (inhalation). Parents have the right to accept them knowingly and to be informed in detail.

But the child needs to be trained not only at the beginning but also during the treatment plan, whenever a new category of treatment is required: the first injection, the first extraction, the first dental impression, the first orthodontic appliance, etc.

The purpose of HappyDent Clinic is therefore not limited to dental therapy. We want to help the child become and remain a balanced adult patient without any fears and dental anxiety. All these steps require patience, time, tact, team, method, professionalism.
