Pediatric Dentistry (Pedodontics)

Dentist Fikret Altan monitors children's dental development to ensure early diagnosis of potential orthodontic problems, thus preventing more challenging treatment processes later in life. Pedodontics services include numerous preventive and protective measures, including cavity treatments, fluoride applications, fissure sealants, trauma management, tooth extractions, space maintainers, and oral hygiene education. At ALTANDENT, each child is individually evaluated, their mouth and teeth are examined in detail, and parents are provided with detailed information about their child's oral health, ensuring family involvement in the process. This approach facilitates children's commitment to oral care at home and fosters lasting, long-term habits.

When pediatric dental checkups begin at an early age, children's dental problems can be resolved before they grow older. ALTANDENT recommends starting regular dental checkups as soon as the first tooth appears in infancy and ensures that parents embrace this process. Dentist Fikret Altan emphasizes that this controlled process, begun at an early age, makes a significant difference in a child's oral and dental health. For families seeking a reliable and child-friendly pediatric dentistry clinic in the Sarıyer area, ALTANDENT is the right choice for both health and educational reasons. The colorful filling materials used to help children adapt to treatment, along with entertaining explanations, a patient approach, and positive communication language, make the treatment process both educational and enjoyable.

Tooth decay is quite common during childhood, and poor eating habits, inadequate oral hygiene, and a lack of regular brushing are often among the primary causes. At ALTANDENT, children receive preventive fluoride treatments and fissure sealants that cover chewing surfaces to prevent cavities, making their teeth more resistant to decay. Additionally, parents are provided with detailed information about their diet and sugar intake, explaining how to manage external factors that threaten their children's dental health. Thanks to this multifaceted approach, families living in Sarıyer can take informed steps to ensure their children's dental health.
