Pediatric dentistry requires a special approach because the first dental experience shapes a child's attitude towards dentists for life. At Sorridi Clinic in Irpin, our doctors find an approach to the youngest patients.
We conduct treatment in a playful way, adapt the child to the process, and use safe materials. Treating primary teeth is just as important as permanent ones!
Our pediatric dentist will teach your child how to properly care for their teeth and provide painless treatment.
For school-age kids and teens we place braces children actually enjoy wearing — with coloured ligatures: a palette of over 20 shades and shaped bands, the colour changes at every visit.

When to take your child to the dentist?
First tooth
First visit is recommended for meeting the doctor and care advice.
Complaints of pain
Reaction to sweet, hot or pain when chewing, even if not constant.
Enamel color change
Appearance of white spots or darkening of enamel, indicating early caries.
Prevention
Visits every 3-4 months to monitor hygiene and proper growth of permanent teeth.
Why Primary Teeth Need Treatment
Primary teeth are not just temporary. They hold space for permanent teeth, shape the bite and take part in chewing and speech. If a primary tooth is destroyed or removed too early, neighbouring teeth shift and the permanent tooth lacks space. This is later corrected with braces.
Caries in a primary tooth spreads faster than in a permanent one because the enamel is thinner. The infection can reach the nerve and affect the permanent tooth germ. That is why a white spot or dark dot should be shown to the doctor early: filling at an early stage is simpler, cheaper and less painful.

When a Child Needs a Dentist: 3 Common Situations
These situations are a reason to book a check-up. The doctor will make the exact treatment plan after diagnostics.
A white spot or a dark dot
Early caries in a primary tooth often does not hurt. Filling at an early stage costs less and keeps the tooth until it changes.
Pain, swelling or fever
This may be pulpitis. The child should be examined the same day: infection in a primary tooth can damage the permanent tooth germ.
Prevention without complaints
Fissure sealing, professional hygiene and bite control every 6 months. The cheapest way to avoid treating advanced caries.
How Does a Pediatric Appointment Go?
Acquaintance and Adaptation
The doctor playfully gets to know the child and shows the clinic.
Examination
Careful examination of the oral cavity without scary instruments.
Treatment
Quick and painless treatment while watching favorite cartoons.
Age stages: what to do when
Every age has its own priorities — from the first check-up to braces. Use these guidelines; the exact plan is set at the appointment.
First check-up
The first tooth is a reason to meet the dentist. Oral examination, advice on care and feeding.
Adaptation
Getting to know the clinic in a playful way. Tooth brushing, fluoridation, prevention of bottle caries.
Baby teeth
Cavity treatment, fissure sealing of primary molars, getting used to regular visits.
Mixed dentition
Sealing of permanent molars, early orthodontics, monitoring tooth eruption and the change of teeth.
Permanent teeth and orthodontics
Braces, aligners, treatment of permanent teeth, aesthetic restorations.
How we adapt a child
A child’s fear is normal. Our job is not to break it by force, but to gradually replace it with curiosity.
Meeting without treatment
The first visit is just an introduction: we show the office, take a ride in the chair, count the teeth. Treatment — only when the child is ready.
The “tell-show-do” method
We explain in simple words, show the instruments on a toy or a hand, and only then proceed.
Cartoons and distraction
Favourite cartoons on screen, toys and an unhurried pace distract from the procedure.
No pain, no rush
Modern anesthesia, minimal treatment per visit, breaks when needed. A positive experience comes first.
Parents nearby
Mum or dad can stay close. We recommend not scaring the child with the dentist in advance and not promising “it won’t hurt” instead of explaining.
A positive ending
A reward-gift and praise after the appointment build a wish to come back without fear.
Caring for Your Child's Teeth at Home
Home care works only together with professional hygiene. Primary teeth have thinner enamel, so caries develops faster in children. What takes months in an adult can become pain in a child within weeks.
Focus on the child's age and skills. Until 6-7 years old, parents brush the teeth again after the child. Choose fluoride toothpaste by age, and keep sweet drinks during meals rather than between them.
- Brush twice a day for 2 minutes, in the morning and before bed.
- Use a soft toothbrush suitable for the age, replace it every 3 months.
- Use fluoride toothpaste in an amount that matches the age.
- Limit sweet drinks and snacks between meals.
- Visit the dentist every 6 months, even without complaints.
Baby teeth: when they erupt and when they fall out
The timing is approximate: a 2-3 month deviation is normal. The sequence and symmetry matter more than the age itself. If a tooth is half a year late compared to the chart, show it to a dentist.
| Teeth | Eruption | Shedding |
|---|---|---|
| Central incisors | 6-10 months | 6-7 years |
| Lateral incisors | 8-12 months | 7-8 years |
| First molars | 13-19 months | 9-11 years |
| Canines | 16-22 months | 9-12 years |
| Second molars | 25-33 months | 10-12 years |
The first permanent molars erupt at 6-7 years and do not replace baby teeth. That is why fissure sealing is done as soon as such a tooth appears.
Clinical cases from practice
Case 1
Caries in a baby tooth at age 5
The parents noticed a dark spot on a molar. The child complained of pain from sweets.
Examination, adaptation visit, caries treatment with a coloured filling under anaesthesia. Sealing of the neighbouring molars.
One visit, 40 minutes. The child came to the follow-up check without fear.
Case 2
Dental fear and several carious teeth
A 7-year-old child refused to open her mouth after a painful experience at another clinic.
The first visit had no treatment: getting acquainted, showing the instruments, cartoons. Treatment was carried out under medicated sleep with the parents' consent.
Four teeth were treated in one visit. The next check-up the child completed without sedation.
These are typical situations, not the stories of specific patients. The result is individual and depends on the condition of the teeth and the age of the child.
Sedation and medicated sleep
If a child is very anxious or several teeth need treating in one visit, we treat under medicated sleep. It is safer and more comfortable than making the child endure it.
Sedation at Sorridi is performed by anesthesiologist Hlib Ovsienko. We use medicated sleep: the child sleeps calmly under the anesthesiologist's supervision and wakes up right after treatment, with no pain or fear. The dose is selected individually according to the scope of work.
From what age
We perform medicated sleep by indication. For the youngest patients the anesthesiologist decides after an examination.
When it is indicated
Severe fear of treatment, a large scope of work in one visit, high anxiety, a strong gag reflex.
Safety
The anesthesiologist monitors the child throughout the procedure. Equipment and medications are certified.
Medicated sleep
Medicated sleep by indication requires a separate anesthesiologist examination and preparation. The decision is made individually.

Benefits of Pediatric Dentistry at Sorridi
Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should the first dental visit be?
Kateryna Bondarets
General Dentist, Chief Doctor
The first visit is recommended after the eruption of the first tooth or at 1 year of age.
Do baby teeth need to be treated?
Kateryna Bondarets
General Dentist, Chief Doctor
Absolutely! Baby teeth hold the space for permanent ones. Infection from a baby tooth can damage the permanent tooth bud.
How to prepare a child for an appointment?
Kateryna Bondarets
General Dentist, Chief Doctor
Do not use words like "painful", "injection", or "drill". Tell them the doctor will just count and clean their teeth.
Does it hurt to treat baby teeth?
Kateryna Bondarets
General Dentist, Chief Doctor
No. Treatment is performed under local anesthesia in a playful way — the child does not feel pain. A positive first experience builds trust in dentists for life.
How often should a child see a dentist?
Kateryna Bondarets
General Dentist, Chief Doctor
Preventive check-ups are recommended every 3-6 months. Baby tooth enamel is thinner, so caries develops faster in children than in adults.
From what age can teeth be treated under sedation?
Hlib Ovsienko
Anesthesiologist
We perform medicated sleep by indication. The dose is selected by the anesthesiologist, who is present throughout the procedure.
What if the child is scared and cries?
Kateryna Bondarets
General Dentist, Chief Doctor
That is normal. We never force: the first visit may be limited to getting acquainted and an examination, without treatment. Gradual adaptation or sedation helps treat the teeth without stress.
Can parents stay in the treatment room?
Kateryna Bondarets
General Dentist, Chief Doctor
Yes, mum or dad can stay close — it calms the child. For teenagers it is often better to give a little independence, but the choice is yours.
How long does a child’s appointment take?
Kateryna Bondarets
General Dentist, Chief Doctor
Usually 20-40 minutes. We do not rush, take breaks when needed and try to complete the treatment in one visit.
