Pediatric Dentistry is a specialized field of dental care focused on the unique oral health needs of children, from infancy through their teenage years. At Dentalays, our pediatric dentistry clinic in Turkey is designed to make dental visits a positive, fun, and fear-free experience, setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Explore our gallery to see how we help our youngest patients! From protective dental sealants to seamless pediatric fillings, we focus on prevention and gentle restoration.
We believe high-quality family dentistry should be accessible to everyone. The cost of pediatric dental care in Turkey is significantly lower than in the UK, Europe, or the USA, allowing your family to receive comprehensive preventive care without financial stress.
Preventive care like sealants and fluoride treatments is the most affordable way to avoid more complex and costly treatments later.
| Procedure | Average Cost in UK/Europe | Average Cost in Turkey |
|---|---|---|
| Pediatric Check-up & Cleaning | €90 - €250 | €60 - €90 |
| Dental Sealant (Per Tooth) | €110 - €180 | €40 - €80 |
| Pediatric Filling (Composite) | €160 - €280 | €70 - €95 |

Pediatric dentistry (or dentistry for children) is a specialty that requires an additional 2-3 years of training after dental school. This extra training focuses on:
A pediatric dentist is uniquely qualified to protect your child's oral health in a way that is gentle, positive, and sensitive to their emotional needs.
A child's first few dental visits shape their perception of dentistry for life. A bad, scary experience can lead to dental phobia, causing them to avoid check-ups as an adult.
A specialized "kid dentist" creates a welcoming, non-threatening environment. They use simple, child-friendly language (e.g., "tooth sleepy juice" instead of "needle," "whistle" instead of "drill") to build trust. This positive foundation is the most important gift you can give your child for their future health.
We offer a full spectrum of care, from prevention to restoration, all tailored for children.
A dental sealant is a thin, protective, plastic coating that is "painted" onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars). The dental sealants procedure is fast and painless. It works by filling in the deep grooves and pits where food and bacteria get trapped, acting as a shield against cavities. Dental sealants can last for 5-10 years and are the single most effective way to prevent molars from decaying.
A fluoride treatment by a dentist is a simple, painless way to strengthen your child's teeth. We use a concentrated fluoride treatment for tooth decay (a gel, foam, or varnish) that is applied to the teeth after a cleaning. This fluoride is absorbed by the enamel, making it harder and more resistant to the acid attacks that cause cavities.
Baby teeth serve an important role: they hold the space for the permanent teeth to grow in. If a baby tooth is lost too early (due to decay or an accident), the nearby teeth can drift into that empty space. This blocks the permanent space maintainer tooth from erupting, leading to severe crowding.
A space maintainer (either fixed or removable) is a custom-fit appliance that holds this space open, guiding the permanent tooth into its correct position and preventing the need for complex orthodontic work later.
Cavities can happen, even in baby teeth. It is crucial to treat them. A pediatric filling removes the decay and restores the tooth. We use tooth-coloured, BPA-free composite materials. Leaving decay in a baby tooth can lead to pain, an abscess (infection), and can even damage the permanent tooth developing underneath it.
When a baby tooth has a very large cavity or has been broken, a simple filling isn't strong enough. A pediatric crown is a full "cap" that covers and protects the entire tooth. For back teeth (molars), we often use durable stainless steel crowns. For visible front teeth, we offer tooth-coloured Zirconia crowns for a natural, aesthetic appearance.
We recommend an initial orthodontic evaluation for every child around age 7. This isn't about getting braces right away. An early orthodontics check-up allows us to assess your child's jaw growth, check for a misaligned bite (like a crossbite), and spot potential crowding issues. Identifying these problems early can allow for simpler, "interceptive" treatment that may prevent the need for extractions or complex surgery later.
As one of the leading pediatric dentistry clinics in Turkey for international families, we provide a safe and welcoming "dental home."
The "First Visit by First Birthday" rule is the global standard. This first visit is usually a simple "lap check" and a chance for you to ask questions and learn how to care for your baby's new teeth.
Yes. We use modern, digital X-ray machines that emit an extremely low dose of radiation (less than a day's exposure to natural background radiation). We only take X-rays when they are absolutely necessary for a proper diagnosis.
Baby teeth are vital. They help your child chew and speak properly. Most importantly, they are the natural space maintainers for permanent teeth. An infected baby tooth can cause severe pain and can permanently damage the adult tooth growing beneath it.
With good care, dental sealants can last for 5 to 10 years. We check them at every 6-month check-up and can easily re-apply them if they chip or wear away.
The best way is to be positive! Talk about the dentist as a friendly person who helps keep their teeth healthy and strong. You can read children's books or watch videos about a first dental visit. Avoid using negative words like "shot," "needle," "pain," or "drill."
In dentistry, high-resolution photographs are taken to evaluate the patient’s existing tooth structure and facial aesthetics. These photos are used to document and analyze the condition, color, and shape of the teeth and their harmony with the patient’s face.
Why is it important? Professional photographs help dentists and lab technicians plan the restoration process and achieve ideal aesthetic results.
5D scanning technology allows for highly precise digital scanning of teeth and oral structures. This technology goes beyond traditional 3D scans by capturing additional information such as color, texture, and movement.
Why is it important? 5D scanning enables the creation of detailed digital models of teeth, allowing for more accurate and personalized restorations. This accelerates the treatment process and provides a more comfortable experience for the patient.
Special dental burs are used for shaping teeth with minimal preparation and for the precise placement of restorations. These burs are high-precision and sharp instruments.
Dental laboratories equipped with advanced technology play a key role in the production of restorations. These labs use CAD/CAM systems, high-precision manufacturing devices, and biocompatible materials.
