Pediatric Dentistry in Geneva
Gentle care from the moment the first teeth appear
Supporting children in their oral health means giving them the best chance of maintaining strong teeth and a confident smile for life. At the Dr. Mariona Palé clinic in Geneva, we welcome young patients in a reassuring environment that is adapted to their pace. Gentleness, explanation, respect, and prevention are the pillars of our approach to children's dental care.
Our pedodontics (pediatric dentistry) services are designed for babies, preschoolers, school-age children, and teenagers. Our team is trained to make each visit as positive as possible, in order to encourage a lasting relationship between the child and their dentist.
In addition to clinical care, we believe in the importance of preventive education. We work in partnership with parents to instill good habits from an early age. By establishing a positive routine around dental appointments, we help children develop a proactive attitude toward their health.
Why see a pediatric dentist?
A dentist trained in treating children will be able to create a climate of trust that is essential for successful care. The first appointment is recommended between 12 and 18 months, or as soon as the first teeth appear.
This first contact allows us to:
- Check that everything is developing normally;
- Answer parents' questions;
- Introduce dental hygiene practices in a fun way;
- Establish a reassuring care routine;
- Build a relationship of trust with the dental practice.
Early appointments during early childhood also promote early detection of dental problems such as cavities, malocclusion, or eruption disorders.
