Provide your child with expert and gentle dental care in İstanbul, Turkey at Turquoise. Our pediatric dentists specialize in creating a comfortable and positive experience for young patients.
Paediatric dentistry (pedodontics) is the specialty that looks after children's oral health from infancy to adolescence with both preventive and restorative care. Baby teeth hold space for the permanent teeth and guide jaw development, so early care lays the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
In our child-friendly clinic our paediatric dentist uses the "tell-show-do" approach for a fear-free experience and, when needed, laughing gas (sedation) to keep treatment comfortable.
Benefits
- A fear-free first experience: age-appropriate communication and a playful examination.
- Prevention first: fluoride varnish and fissure sealants reduce the risk of decay by up to 70%.
- Painless treatment: topical and computer-controlled anaesthesia; nitrous oxide sedation when required.
- Jaw development monitoring: space maintainers and early orthodontic assessment reduce the need for braces later.
- Practical for families: check-up, cleaning and preventive care in a single session during your holiday.
The process step by step
- Introduction and examination: your child gets to know the clinic; the dentist checks teeth, gums and jaw development through play.
- Risk assessment: diet, brushing habits and, if needed, a low-dose digital X-ray determine the risk of decay.
- Preventive care: professional cleaning, fluoride varnish and fissure sealants on the molars (15–30 minutes).
- Treatment where needed: compomer/composite fillings, baby-tooth pulp therapy (pulpotomy), stainless steel or zirconia paediatric crowns, space maintainers.
- Education and follow-up: age-appropriate brushing instruction and a parent guide; a check-up every 6 months is recommended.

Who is it for?

Frequently asked questions
Baby teeth fall out anyway — is treatment necessary?
Yes. A decayed baby tooth causes pain, infection and damage to the permanent tooth beneath it, while early loss leads to crowding.
My child is very scared. What can you do?
The first session can be purely an introduction and play. If needed we use nitrous oxide (laughing gas); for extensive treatment, sedation is provided with an anaesthetist.
Is fluoride safe?
Yes; fluoride varnish applied every 6 months at the doses recommended by international health authorities is one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent decay.
Can treatment be done during our holiday?
Yes. Examination, cleaning and preventive care are completed in one session; any fillings or crowns are done the same or the next day.
