Cu copiii la dentist

Cu copiii la dentist

Inca din primul rand trebuie sa multumesc DENT ESTET 4 KIDS, pentru faptul ca atunci cand le-am vorbit de Asociatia Touched Romania, care ajuta mamele aflate in imposibilitatea de a-si creste copiii si pentru care tratamentele dentare reprezinta un lux, au raspuns pe loc extrem de pozitiv, iar acum micutii sunt pe mainile unor medici specialisti, intr-o clinica asa cum eu nu credeam sa existe in Romania.

 
EN: First of all I would like to thank DENT ESTET 4 KIDS, for reacting so positively when I told them about the Touched Romania Association, who helps mothers unable to raise their children, for whom dental care is a luxury. Now the little ones are taken care of by specialists, in a clinic I didn’t think existed in Romania.

Inca nu am ajuns cu Vlad la dentist (dar prima vizita e programata curand), in schimb am ajuns cu aceasta gasca atat de simpatica de copii, pe care i-am cunoscut prin intermediul Asociatiei Touched Romania. Nu stiu daca mai tineti minte, dar eu am sustinut aceasta asociatie cat am putut de mult, prin diverse mijloace, in ultimii doi ani jumatate. Mai precis, am aflat despre situatia mamelor aflate in imposibilitatea de a-si creste copiii, fara nicio sursa de venit, fie parasite de restul familiei, fie cu parteneri de viata violenti sau alte necazuri mari, chiar in momentul in care eram insarcinata cu Vlad. De atunci, mi-am zis in gand ca voi face tot ce pot sa le ajut: mi-am “donat” ziua de nastere pentru aceasta asociatie, am alergat la maraton pentru ea si o voi face si pe 3 aprilie in cadrul Bucharest 10k & Family Run, iar de curand, impreuna cu ajutorul clinicii DENT ESTET (clinica pe care eu o frecventez si de care sunt extrem de multumita), am reusit sa-i ducem pe copii la dentist. Si nu oriunde, ci la una dintre clinicile DENT ESTET 4 KIDS, care – va spun eu ca persoana adulta si chinuita in copilarie la dentist de nenumarate ori – nu numai ca arata incredibil, dar are o echipa completa de medici specializati in Ortodontie, Pedodontie, Chirurgie Oro-Maxilo-Faciala, Endodontie si ATI, cu experienta in tratarea copiilor cu varste intre 0 si 8 ani, la care se adauga medici psihologi si personal specializat in comunicarea cu copiii. Astfel incat micutii sa nu fie traumatizati de scaunul ala pentru tot restul vietii, cum se intampla in generatia noastra. 

Vorbim aici de prima clinica din Europa de Est dedicata exclusiv copiilor, inaugurata in 2008, adica de 7 ani de experienta in stomatologia pediatrica si in comunicarea cu copiii. Sunt 3 clinici spiecializate DENT ESTET 4 KIDS (2 in Bucuresti si una in Timisoara), la care veti intalni 35 de medici stomatologi pediatri pregatiti in SUA si Europa, dar si primul departament ATI cu 8 medici anestezisti pentru tratamente sub sedare medie sau profunda

Dintre detaliile care m-au atras pe mine ca mama:

• inainte sa intre in sala, copiii sunt invitati intr-un loc de joaca, unde sa se relaxeze, sa se acomodeze cu spatiul si sa prinda curaj
• medicii stomatologi sunt mereu zambitori si explica cu extrem de multa rabdare fiecare miscare pe care urmeaza sa o faca, in asa fel incat cei mici sa nu se sperie de un zgomot sau o miscare de scaun necunoscuta lor pana in acel moment
• ca sa nu ii deranjeze lumina venita de sus, micutii poarta ochelari de soare 🙂 yeah!
• pe tavan e montat un televizor la care, in timpul consultului, cei mici pot urmari desene animate
• intotdeauna in clinica exista un psiholog care stie cum sa comunice cu copiii care au teama de dentist

Vedeti in imagini cum sunt decorate cabinetele si mai mult ca sigur ca va aduceti aminte de cum aratau cabinetele in copilaria noastra…jale. Dar ne putem bucura ca exista aceasta optiune pentru copiii nostri. Sa stiti ca aceasta clinica mi-a fost recomandata recent si de medicul orelist la care am fost de curand cu Vlad, si care mi-a spus ca a facut multe cercetari pana a ales Dent Estet 4 Kids pentru baiatul lui.

Revenind la copiii mamelor care locuiesc acum in centrul Casa Agar, trebuie sa va spun ca atunci cand le-am spus ca mergem la dentist au sarit in sus de bucurie, intelegand ca e un fel de loc de joaca (si uite ca nu au fost departe de adevar). Toti s-au bucurat, cu exceptia unei singure fete mai mari. De ce? Pentru ca ea era singura care mai fusese la dentist pana atunci, restul mergand acum pentru prima oara.

Voi ati mers cu copiii la dentist pana acum? Mie inclusiv pediatra mi-a recomandat o vizita pentru Vlad, de control. Am aflat ca Asociatia Americana a Medicilor Dentisti Pediatri (APDA) recomanda ca primul control la medicul stomatolog pediatru sa aiba loc in jurul varstei de un an sau chiar la 6 luni dupa aparitia primului dinte, iar prima consultatie la medicul ortodont la varsta de 7 ani. Pentru ca, stim cu totii, orice problema poate fi prevenita sau tratata cu usurinta in faza incipienta.

In cazul in care vreti sa aflati mai multe despre Asociatia Touched Romania si cum ii puteti si voi ajuta, aici este linkul catre site-ul lor.

P.S.: Mi-a venit o idee! Poate facem o intalnire mame – copii la dentist. Ce ziceti?

EN: Vlad hasn’t been to the dentist yet (but our first visit is scheduled soon), but I went with this cute gang of kids, which I met through the Touched Romania Association. I don’t know if you remember, but I have tried to support this association as much as I could, through different means, over the last two and a half years.  To be more precise, I found out about the situation of mothers unable to raise their children, without any income, either left by the rest of their family, or with violent life partners or other serious troubles, while I was pregnant with Vlad. Ever since, I said to myself that I would do everything I can to help them: I “donated” my birthday, I ran the marathon for them and will do so again on April 3rd for Bucharest 10k & Family Run, and recently, with the help of DENT ESTET clinic (which I often visit and I am extremely happy with), we managed to take the kids to the dentist. And not just anywhere, but at one of the DENT ESTET 4 KIDS clinics, which I can assure you, as a grown-up who was tormented at the dentist lots of times during childhood, not only looks incredible, but also has a complete team of specialized doctors in Orthodontics, Pedodontics, Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, Endodontics and ICU, with experience in the treatment of children between 0 and 8 years, together with psychologists and personnel specialized in child communication. So that the little ones aren’t traumatized by that chair for the rest of their lives, like it happens with our generation.

We are talking about the first Eastern European clinic dedicated exclusively to children, opened in 2008, so with 7 years of experience in pediatric stomatology and child communication. There are 3 specialized clinics DENT ESTET 4 KIDS (2 in Bucharest and one in Timisoara), where you will find 35 pediatric dentists trained in USA and Europe, but also the first ICU with 8 anesthesiologists for treatments under medium or profound sedation.

Among the details that were interesting to me as a mother:

• Before going into the examination room, the kids are invited to a play room, where they can relax, get used to the environment and find courage
• The dentists are always smiling and explaining patiently every move they are about to make, so that the little ones aren’t scared by a sound or a movement they didn’t know until then
• They get to wear sun glasses, so that the light doesn’t disturb them:) yeah!
• There’s a TV on the ceiling, where they can watch cartoons
• There’s always a psychologist in the clinic, who knows how to talk to kids who are afraid of the dentist

You can see in the photos how the rooms are decorated and you surely remember how the dentist offices looked back in our childhood…disaster. But we can be happy that we have this option for our children. This clinic was recently recommended to me by Vlad’s ENT doctor, who told me that he had done a lot of research before choosing Dent Estet 4 Kids for his son.  

Coming back to the children of the moms who currently live at the Casa Agar center, I have to tell you that they were very excited when we told them we are going to the dentist, thinking it must be some sort of play room (and they were very close to the truth). All of them were happy, except for one older girl. Why? Because she was the only one who had been to the dentist before, for the rest of them it was their first time.

Have you taken your kids to the dentist yet? Vlad’s pediatrician recommended a check-up. I found out that the American Pediatric Dentist Association (APDA) recommends that the first visit to the dentist is at about the age of one or even at 6 months, after the first tooth, and the first consult with an orthodontist at about 7 years. Because we all know that it’s better to prevent than to treat.

P.S.: I just had an idea! Maybe we can have a mothers-kids meeting at the dentist. What do you think?
