Citysmile - Pediatric Dentistry near Déli Railway Station
It’s worth taking children to the dentist from an early age. If tooth decay, alignment issues or other oral health problems are detected in time, treatments are usually simpler and more effective. However, pediatric dentistry is not just about the teeth — it’s also important for children to get used to visiting the dentist and to feel safe in the dental office.
Why is it important to take children to the dentist from an early age?
1.Building comfort and confidence
It’s best for parents to take their child to the dentist soon after the first baby teeth appear.
Introducing children to the dentist early helps them get used to the dental office and reduces fear or anxiety later on. During painless checkups children can get to know the environment and the instruments in a playful way, turning dental visits into a positive experience.
2. Early detection and prevention:
Regular dental visits allow the dentist to spot early signs of tooth decay, alignment issues, or other oral health problems before they become serious. Early treatment is usually simpler, less invasive, and more effective.
3. Developing good habits:
Dentists teach children how to brush and care for their teeth properly. Learning these habits young helps prevent cavities and other dental problems in the future. It also reinforces healthy routines like limiting sugary foods and maintaining daily oral hygiene.
Early, gentle dental care lays the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles — it’s as much about prevention and education as it is about treatment.
Dr. Eszter Kohut, a pediatric dentist with 28 years of experience, welcomes children in a friendly and reassuring environment. Using modern equipments and techniques, she ensures that examinations and treatments are quick, professional, and comfortable for young patients. As a parent, you can be confident that your child will receive gentle, high-quality care.
When is it recommended to see a pediatric dentist?
The child complains of toothache, tooth sensitivity or discomfort while chewing

The child continues to use a pacifier or suck their thumb even after preschool age.
What are the most common pediatric dental problems?
Early Childhood Tooth Decay
Baby teeth decay much faster than permanent ones. If decay is not treated in time, it can cause pain and inflammation. This can also affect the development of permanent teeth. If a child attends regular check-ups, early cavities can still be treated easily and gently, avoiding more serious procedures. This is more comfortable for the child, and fewer problems can be expected during the eruption of permanent teeth.
Dental Accidents
Dental injuries are common in childhood. In such cases, it is worth seeing a dentist quickly, even if there doesn’t seem to be a major problem at first. An early examination helps in treating the injured tooth quickly and gently, preventing more serious issues from developing later.
Pacifier Use and Thumb Sucking
Prolonged use of a pacifier or thumb-sucking can affect jaw and tooth development, so it’s important to detect these habits early and help the child gradually stop. Other specialists—such as speech therapists or child psychologists—can also support the process if needed.
Are Dental X-Rays Safe for Children?
Modern digital dental X-rays emit very low radiation, making them safe for children. In our clinic, an X-ray is taken only when it’s truly necessary for diagnosis. It allows the dentist to examine the condition of the teeth and jaws quickly and gently.

Prevention of tooth decay
We help children learn how to take proper care of their teeth. We teach them the right way to brush — even turning daily brushing into a fun routine with a playful toothbrush or an engaging app. We also provide guidance on what and how children should eat to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride treatment strengthens tooth enamel and reduces the risk of cavities. We’ll help you choose the method — whether done at home or in our clinic — that best suits your child’s needs.
Fillings for Baby and Permanent Teeth
If tooth decay has already developed, we use aesthetic, child-friendly filling materials that also contain fluoride to help prevent future cavities.
Fissure Sealing
The deep grooves of newly erupted permanent molars are sealed with a protective coating. This quick and painless procedure helps prevent tooth decay.
Childhood dental prosthetics
If a baby tooth is lost too early, we provide child-friendly tooth replacements to ensure proper chewing and to keep space for the incoming permanent teeth.
