Pediatric Dentistry: Challenge lies in the construction of dental visits less scary
“I have to be happy because the motives and a positive atmosphere are vital. We have to make the kids up.”
Everyone has probably visited a dentist at some point. However, why are some people afraid to see the dentist? Why do dental processes make many people worry? Even adults may hesitate to visit the dentist, so one can imagine how anxious children may feel. In this version of Medpark stories, we are talking Dr. Ann Chianchitlert, DDSa pediatric specialist dentalas she discusses her ideas and recommendations on dental treatment for young people. We will also sink into its background and history.
Inspiration by trainers from the Dentistry School
Dr. Ann shares that he enjoyed playing a doctor as a child because he wanted to heal people. When she arrived at the Gymnasium, most of her friends chose to study medicine, but Dr. Ann chose dentistry. This choice for dentistry was because he had a friend who had already enrolled in the Medical School and is related to how provocative medicine it was (you could say he chose wisely).
“When I started studying at the School of Dentistry at the University of Chulalongkorn, we had inspired teachers who taught us the essence of the patient’s focus.
Due to the interesting and provocative nature of the ability, Dr. Ann decided to promote her studies in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Boston in the United States. He learned new techniques, including complex pediatric dental processes under anesthesia. The university provided a detailed training for development and development, allowing Dr. Ann to apply this knowledge to many aspects of his work.
Pediatric Dentistry differs from adult dentistry
Dr. Ann explains that most people avoid dental visits for pain. With children who have even greater fears than adults, Pediatric Dentistry focuses on familiarizing children with dental visits.
“Every time a child’s patient comes to see me, we don’t just count the cavities, we evaluate their behavior to plan how to make them accept the treatment. If treatment in a regular dental chair is impossible, we choose anesthesia treatment. “
Medpark Hospital Dental center It has a specialized, fully equipped space for dental procedures under anesthesia, staffed by pediatric anesthesiologists and dental professionals to cover new patients.
“Optimally, children should have dental tests every six months. During these visits, we look at their teeth, symptoms, dental indications, facial structure, jaw development and obstruction to identify and address issues.
In addition, another area where dentists can contribute to treatment are sleep disorders, which the pediatric dental center in Medpark prioritizes. Sleep disorders can lead to slow development, emotional issues such as hyperactivity, irritability, lack of concentration, bedroom, even in older children and other future conditions in adulthood.
“If there are findings that suggest sleep problems, such as a very narrow upper jaw, a remarkably small lower jaw, abnormal tooth wear, asymmetrical bite or if the child hits or breathing loudly during sleep, we recommend.
The MedPark Pediatric Dental Center uses tools suitable for children in dental processes. For example, in cases of very close jaw, there are devices to expand. If the jaw has subsided significantly, there are tools to adjust its position to promote the appropriate development direction. These processes are easier and more successful in children.
Proud to help children overcome the fear of dentist
“Treating children requires a lot of care; challenge is to manage the emotions of both my child and myself, a few days, maybe I feel bad or upset, but when it’s time to work. I have to put these feelings aside, I have to be happy because
Dr. Ann’s dedication to her young patients leads her parents to recognize her and greet her outside the hospital. Being a pediatric dentist means to see your patients for a long time, from childhood to development. Therefore, they are like members of your family. It is always enthusiastic when patients or parents say, “We miss Dr. Ann Expensive.”
A love for myriad activities
Dr. Ann enjoys traveling and having fun such as standup paddleboard and bike. He also loves the study, which may seem unusual. He says learning, watching lectures and acquiring new information makes her feel good, almost as if there is an explosion of chemicals.
Before completed, Dr. Ann offers parents advice on maintaining their children’s oral health:
“Good, basic oral hygiene applies to everyone, regardless of age, includes brushing, thread and, above all, visit to the dentist every six months, if there are additional issues such as tooth grinding, abnormal wear of the teeth or strong breathing during sleep.
