Pedodontics stands for pediatric dentistry and aims to protect the dental health of children aged 0-14. In this field, many different treatment methods are applied from milk teeth to permanent teeth of children. Children’s dental health is extremely important for both the development of their oral structures and their general health. Pedodontic treatment prices may vary according to the type of treatment, the child’s tooth structure and the degree of difficulty of the treatment. In this article, we will give information about the main treatments and prices in the field of pedodontics.
Factors Affecting Pedodontic Treatment Prices
The prices of dental treatment for children vary according to several factors. These factors are as follows:
- Type of Treatment: The most common procedures for children include preventive treatments (fissure sealants, fluoride application), fillings, root canal treatment and tooth extraction. Different pricing applies for each type of treatment.
- Child’s Dental Condition: A child’s age, number and condition of baby teeth can affect the difficulty of treatment. For example, in cases where tooth decay is common, more extensive treatments may be required.
- Need for Sedation or General Anesthesia: Some children may require sedation or general anesthesia during dental treatments. This can increase the cost of treatment.
