Dentist’s answer: Pediatric dental treatment under anesthesia, or general anesthesia, means performing dental procedures while the child is in a state of complete sleep under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. It is used in cases where the child is unable to cooperate during regular treatment, has severe dental anxiety, or requires extensive treatment. Before general anesthesia, the child’s health condition and the necessity of the procedure are assessed.

Children’s Dental Care at HanzaDent – A Healthy Smile Starts Early!
Children’s dental care is a crucial step in ensuring healthy teeth and establishing good oral hygiene habits from an early age. The experienced and friendly dentists at HanzaDent ensure that your child’s dental experience is positive, painless, and stress-free. Our goal is to prevent dental diseases, teach children proper oral care, and provide timely treatment when necessary.
Why Is Children’s Dental Care Important?
- The health of baby teeth affects the development of permanent teeth – Early issues can impact jaw development and the alignment of permanent teeth.
- Prevention of cavities – Children are highly susceptible to cavities, making regular check-ups and fluoride protection essential.
- Comprehensive oral care – Teaching proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups help avoid more complex procedures in the future.
- Preventing dental anxiety – Early and positive experiences with the dentist can prevent fear that may develop if a child only visits when experiencing pain.
What Services Do We Offer?
- First dental visits – We introduce children to the dental chair, tools, and procedures in a playful manner to prevent fear.
- Regular check-ups and diagnostics – Early detection and prevention of dental diseases.
- Cavity treatment and fillings – Modern and child-friendly treatment solutions.
- Fluoride varnishing and protective treatments – Strengthening teeth and preventing cavities.
- Early detection of gum and jaw development disorders – Referral to an orthodontic specialist if necessary.
When Should a Child Have Their First Dental Visit?
We recommend scheduling the first dental visit by the second year of life when all baby teeth have erupted. If parents have any questions about their child’s dental care, they are always welcome for a consultation. Regular check-ups at least twice a year help ensure that a child’s teeth develop healthily.
A Friendly and Safe Environment for Children
Our dentists have extensive experience working with children and create a trustworthy and positive atmosphere. At HanzaDent, we use modern and painless treatment methods to make children’s dental visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

Pediatric Dentist's Advice
What Happens If Children’s Dental Problems Are Not Detected in Time?
⚠️ Cavities and Pain – Untreated cavities spread quickly, causing toothache, inflammation, and early tooth loss.
⚠️ Incorrect Bite – Missing or damaged baby teeth affect the growth of permanent teeth, leading to orthodontic issues later.
⚠️ Gum Disease and Infections – Untreated gum inflammation can cause bleeding, pain, and oral infections.
⚠️ Difficulty Eating and Speaking – Painful or missing teeth make chewing difficult and may cause speech problems.
⚠️ Reduced Self-Confidence – Poor oral hygiene and unhealthy teeth may make a child avoid smiling and social interactions.
⚠️ More Complex and Expensive Treatment in the Future – Early prevention helps avoid painful and costly procedures later.

Is children’s dental treatment free in Estonia and under what conditions?
Patient
Dentist’s answer: In Estonia, dental treatment is free of charge for individuals insured by the Health Insurance Fund up to the age of 19, provided that the treatment is carried out at a dental clinic contracted with the Health Insurance Fund. Free dental care generally includes the treatment of cavities (caries), treatment of inflammation, and necessary diagnostic procedures. Some services, such as aesthetic procedures, are not covered under free dental care. We recommend clarifying before the appointment which services are covered by the Health Insurance Fund and which may be subject to payment. All conditions diagnosed by a dentist before the age of 19 are eligible for free treatment for one year, provided that Health Insurance Fund coverage is in place.
Patient
Is there a visit fee for children’s dental treatment?
Patient
Dentist’s answer: In Estonia, a visit fee generally applies to children’s dental treatment if the child is insured and the treatment takes place at a clinic contracted with the Health Insurance Fund. The visit fee amount for dental visits compensated by the Health Insurance Fund is specified on the Health Insurance Fund’s website. The visit fee applies to outpatient dental appointments and does not cover the cost of treatment services.
