Odontopediatrics

It is the Branch of the odontology that treats de childs from newborn till 14 years age. The doctor will explore the patient and find out if there are deformities or infections than can lead to later severe pathologies. Therefore it is crucial to bring the child to an appointment with doctor from 1 year old , though it may appear too early that’s the way it is . during childhood it´s parents and doctors commitment to keep their kids with no dental pathologies by check ups with the odontopediatric dentist and to educate them with dental hygiene habits

GENERAL ANESTHESIA IN ODONTOPEDIATRICS

In our hospital we´ve got general anesthesia for the cases that may require it, either because the child is too young, have any other pathology that requires general anesthesia or disabled childs.

All treatments are intented to be carried on in the cabinet but some have to be done in the surgical theater. In that case we might say that we are the only ones around the region with the capability to do so with all the quality and security along with quironsalud group
