At Denta-Line we pay special attention to the youngest of Patients. We offer nice and professional care adjusted to the needs and age of a child. Tooth disease prophylaxis has benefits throughout the whole life, and we care about making a dental appointment a positive memory that encourages caring about teeth in the future. Thanks to a good attitude of our personnel, our young Patients aren’t afraid of a visit at a dental clinic.
Before beginning the treatment we let children get used to the clinic and the dentist during an adaptive appointment. We want the child to feel good, safe and comfortable in the clinic, and we don’t want the appointment to be associated with pain and fear. We do our best to make each visit.
There is also a play area for the kids, which helps turn their attention away from the upcoming visit. We have also prepared cartoons on DVD, which can be watched during the visit.
At the end of each appointment the brave young Patients are rewarded, which helps retain positive memories and additionally motivates for the next dentist visit.
We offer a full range of treatment for the kids:
- Prophylaxis and treatment of decay
- Oral cavity illnesses
- Corrections of malocclusions
- Teaching proper oral cavity hygiene.
For kids who don’t like traditional anesthetic injection we offer painless computer anesthesia. The anesthetic is injected by a needle controlled by a microchip which measures partial pressure in the tissues. This eliminates any unpleasant feeling.
For the Patients who still feel scared there’s also breathable sedation – nitrogen oxide, or laughing gas. It helps relaxes and calm any anxiety allowing for stress-free appointments.
An additional incentive for a child can be choosing the color of their filling. Colourful fillings is a safe, modern material made with young Patients in mind. The ability to actively participate in the treatment and an influence over its outcome is an additional reason for a feeling of pride in a young Patient.
Breathable sedation
Breathable sedation, nitrogen oxide or laughing gas helps relieve stress caused by the visit in a dental clinic. During the appointment with sedation the Patient is kept in a state of relaxation and slight euphoria. Sedation is not general anesthesia and is completely safe – its effects only last during the procedure and about 15 minutes afterwards.
Our device – Master Flux Plus – serves to administer nitrogen oxide. The gas has relaxing and calming effects, and minimizes pain with without causing sleepiness. It also doesn’t stupefy the Patient, who remains in full contact with the dentist. It is worth noting that the gas only stays in effect for a short time after the procedure – it doesn’t cause discomfort for the patient.
The manufacturer of the device – Italian company Tecno-Gaz – puts a special emphasis on the safety. The device is equipped with a valve to immediately cut off the nitrogen oxide flow in case of an unusual reaction from the Patient. It is also set up so that the Patient always receives at least 30% of oxygen in the gas mix, which prevents hypoxia. Master Flux Plus is the only sedation device fully designed and manufactured in Italy. All components made by Tecno-Gaz undergo thorough quality control and individual inspection, so device has medical CE certificates, and is an A class medical device. It is the newest and most advanced model of a sedation device.
