Dental clinic for kids BOJ is specialized in child and juvenile dental health. We are doctors recognized for our wide experience in paediatric dentistry, providing state of the art dental services for babies, kids and teenagers, areas which widely differ from the rest of dentistry.
Our passion is to deal with babies, children and teenagers to help them achieve appropriate dental habits to become adults with a healthy oral cavity. Thanks to Dr. BOJ´s background specialized in oral laser surgery and his many years of experience as paediatric dentistry professor, our dental clinic solves oral or dental problems any member of the young population in the Barcelona metropolitan area and surroundings may have.
Our children and juvenile dental clinic, well located in the city of Barcelona, is equipped with the latest technology developments and covers all oral health aspects, such as: fluoride, sealants, caries, dental esthetics, pulpal treatments, traumatic dental events, surgery, habits, removable orthodontics, braces and invisible orthodontics… We are waiting for you!
To keep a proper oral health, preventive monitoring is vital for early diagnosis of problems on time. The timetable of these controls is specific to each individual case.
The use of fluoride by children should be supervised. The paediatric dentist will establish the concentrations and the way to use fluoride at different ages. Fluoride increases enamel resistance, therefore preventing tooth decay.
Sealants act “filling” fissures and cracks present on the biting surface of teeth. As the surface is smooth and uniform, food is not trapped avoiding the risk of tooth decay. Application is fast and easy as it can be performed in a single visit and does not require any local anesthesia.
Laser has many possible uses in paediatric dentistry. The use of laser technology diminishes pain and facilitates the healing of wounds. It is used for the surgical treatment of lingual (tongue) and maxillary (lips) frenums, papilomas, eruption cysts, operculectomies, pyogenic granulomas, tooth cysts, exposure of impacted teeth, etc
One of the main indications of sedation in paediatric dentistry is anxiety and fear reduction when children fear invasive therapeutic procedures.
General anesthesia is useful to perform treatments with a large amount of dental treatment needed, and/or when the cooperation of a patient is impossible due to fear.
Some groups of patients require different approaches and techniques due to their specific conditions.
