Pediatric dentistry in Terrassa
Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry that deals with the prevention and treatment of various dental conditions in children.
We all know that the first teeth to appear are temporary (baby teeth) and as we grow, these fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth. Pediatric dentistry carefully monitors this transition until adulthood. In addition, pediatric dentists detect anomalies in the position of the jaws at an early stage and can refer the patient to an orthodontist or maxillofacial surgeon to intervene in the growth of these bones.
Our dental clinic is the ideal place to take your children to the pediatric dentist in Terrassa for the first time. We will take care of your children!
Dental habits from childhood
One of the practices that can most help prevent periodontal and oral diseases is acquiring good dental hygiene habits from childhood. In this sense, the pediatric dentist and parents become two of the most important figures that children will take as examples when it comes to brushing their teeth and taking care of their hygiene.
During visits to the dental clinic, our dentists teach children how to use a toothbrush, how much toothpaste to use, and how to brush their teeth to remove all food debris.
We always recommend that parents accompany their children at home while they brush their teeth so that they have someone to imitate and can check that they are brushing correctly. Investing time in instilling good dental health habits from an early age is a way of ensuring their health when they grow up and become adults.
We take care of the health of the little ones
Between the ages of 6 and 12, children’s permanent teeth erupt in their mouths, replacing their baby teeth. Just because they don’t have their permanent teeth yet doesn’t mean they don’t need dental check-ups. Our pediatric dentist in Terrassa recommends that children have an oral examination to ensure that their jaws are growing correctly and that their permanent teeth are coming through without interfering with the position of the other teeth.
These visits are essential for the early detection of dental malocclusion or misalignment and to begin dental treatment as soon as possible to correct the problem. Thanks to the experience of our dentists, we are able to put children at ease and build trust, preventing them from feeling afraid during their visit.

Preventing bottle tooth decay
Bottle tooth decay is one of the most common dental problems faced by young children, and one that we try to prevent. This type of tooth decay occurs due to prolonged exposure to drinks with a high sugar content.
In general, children who are most prone to bottle tooth decay are those who habitually fall asleep with a bottle in their mouth or whose dummies are dipped in sugary foods such as honey, juice or sugar. Estoclinic’s pediatric dentists will provide parents with instructions on the dental care they will need to provide to prevent this from happening to their child.
Problems that our pediatric dentistry unit in Terrassa can solve
The oral cavity of young children is exposed to various risks that can affect its proper development. However, all of these problems can be solved. Our pediatric dentists in Terrassa will examine your child’s mouth and teeth to stop the progression of any possible pathology in time.
Among the most common problems that our young patients come to us with are:
Dental trauma
It is very common for children to receive a blow to the mouth while playing and for part of a tooth to become detached. Therefore, our pediatric dentistry service in Terrassa recommends that you remain calm and reassure your child in this situation, try to locate the fragment that has fallen out and come to our dental clinic. When you arrive at our centre, the experienced Dr. Mª Luz Mur will ensure that the trauma has not compromised the development of your child’s teeth and will recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Malocclusion problems
When a child has an incorrect bite, it can trigger problems that, if not treated at an early age, could worsen. However, there are very effective pre-orthodontic treatments to correct any developmental problems.
Bruxism
This disorder consists of involuntary teeth grinding (usually during sleep). If your child clenches their teeth a lot while sleeping, come to our clinic so we can assess the state of tooth wear and the possible solution to this problem.
Cavities in baby teeth
The first symptom of a cavity is the appearance of a white spot on the enamel. If you notice a change in the colour of your child’s enamel, come in for a consultation as soon as possible.
To prevent these types of conditions, check-ups at least once a year are essential, regardless of whether your child has completed their permanent dentition.
In addition, professional dental cleaning (prophylaxis) is a good complement to your child’s dental hygiene at home. Trust our team of experts to take care of your little one’s oral health.
