Pediatric Dentistry in Chisinau
Top dental clinics in Chisinau, ratings and reviews
Pediatric dentistry is not "adult dentistry, but smaller". Baby teeth are built differently: thinner enamel, decay that spreads within months, wider nerves. But the main difference is the approach: a paediatric dentist first gets to know the child, shows the instruments, plays — and only then treats. The first visit must go well, otherwise the fear stays for life. Look for a dental clinic in Chisinau with a separate children's room.
Why baby teeth need treatment
The most common myth: "they will fall out anyway". But the permanent tooth bud grows right under the baby tooth — infection from a rotten root damages it before it even erupts. Early extraction is also risky: neighbouring teeth shift and the permanent one lacks space, which leads to braces in the teenage years.
Prevention and treatment under sedation
Fissure sealing covers the grooves of chewing teeth with protective varnish — a simple procedure that prevents most childhood decay. It costs 300–600 MDL per tooth. If the child is very young, frightened, or many teeth need work, there is treatment under sedation: everything is done in one visit and the child wakes up healthy.
