Oral hygiene and prevention children
Prevention is better than cure! That is why we advise parents to schedule their children's first dental visit very early, when they turn one or when their first tooth comes in. Accurate and timely oral hygiene helps prevent future tooth decay, diseases of the supporting tissues of the teeth (gums and bone) and bad breath.
Oral hygiene
It is important from a very young age.
Frequency
Brush the teeth after each meal.
Instructions
Educating their children in proper oral hygiene.
Tips
Avoid too many sweets and foods high in sugars and starches.
Important
The dentist is a friend, cleaning teeth is a wonderful game to play together.
Prevention and correct habits
To have healthy and strong teeth, it is important to:
brush them at least twice a day and after every meal;
follow a proper diet;
schedule oral hygiene sessions in the office.
In this way we can prevent:
tooth decay;
gum disease;
halitosis.
Teeth cleaning at home
We use the right toothbrush
The first "good habit" to teach babies is proper oral hygiene, using the right toothbrush and fluoride-based toothpaste. We brush teeth at least twice a day, the optimum being after every meal.
We clean toddlers' teeth with a gentle toothbrush, and up to the age of one year we use a water-soaked gauze, which, placed on the index finger, will be used to gently clean teeth and gums before bedtime.
Flossing
Flossing is used to clean the narrow spaces between teeth, removing plaque where the toothbrush does not pass. As soon as they reach manual independence we teach children how to floss properly.
Hygiene sessions
The pedodontist will be the one to recommend hygiene sessions in the office, depending on the child's age and needs.
Brushing teeth: a game for health
It is very important to make your children understand that brushing their teeth thoroughly and regularly, after every meal, is a valuable aid in keeping them beautiful and strong. A healthy habit that is also fun, if approached in the right spirit!
Follow our tips and getting children to brush their teeth will no longer be a stress, but just a lot of fun!
The importance of proper nutrition
Ahealthy and varieddiet must contain balanced carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, fiber, vitamins and minerals to develop proper growth. Often, due to lack of time or to suit children's preferences, there is a tendency to "splurge a little" on foods rich in sugar (soft drinks, sweets, candies, chocolates, etc.).
Sugars are the key element in the development of tooth decay because bacteria feed on them to develop the acid that initially demineralizes the tooth and subsequently leads to the formation of caries.
We try to:
limit sugar consumption;
eat balanced meals;
drink plenty of water;
chew well and for a long time.
Hygiene sessions in the studio
They are a complement to the good practices kept at home.
They are scheduled following the instructions of the pedodontist and oral hygiene doctor.
Practice tips
Brush your teeth well 2 times a day.
Drink plenty of water.
Eat fruits and vegetables.
Few sweets outside main meals.
The stages of the pathway
The oral hygiene session
A plaque detector is applied at the beginning of the session to detect any buildup.
By showing them to the child, together, we focus on the mouth and give goals to be achieved at home to have a detector in order. Plaque removal is then performed.

Free hygiene checkups
The oral hygiene doctor, about a month after the first session, reviews the child to see if he or she has used the instruments, followed the advice, and adopted good oral hygiene at home.
The next session is then evaluated and scheduled.

Bravi, professionali e con una buona dose di umanità
Bravi, professionali e con una buona dose di umanità ed empatia nel confronto del paziente che lo fa sentire a proprio agio.
Io ero terrorizzata del dentista e mi sono lasciata andare senza curare più i miei denti .
Fin dalla prima visita presso questo centro, il dr. Andriolo mi ha tranquillizzata e messa a mio agio .
E infatti fin dalle prime prestazioni non ho sentito dolore, ne durante ne una volta tornata a casa
Oggi x esempio, ho fatto una cura canalare e un'estrazione di un molare, sono entrata in studio alle 10 00 e uscita alle 13.30. tranquilla e serena come se non fosse successo niente. Siete meravigliosi... grazie 🙏💖🙏
