Children’s Dentist in Fuengirola
At DentalTU we know what it means for parents to take their child to the dentist: the worry that it might hurt, that the little one may get scared, or that they won’t let anyone look inside their mouth. That’s exactly why we’ve created a paediatric dentistry service in Fuengirola designed to accompany children from their very first teeth through to their teenage years, in a space adapted to them and with professionals who understand their fears.
What is paediatric dentistry?
And why is it worth starting early?
Paediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry that focuses on children’s oral health. It’s not just about treating tooth decay or a knocked tooth: it also involves prevention, teaching healthy habits, and detecting bite problems or jaw development issues at an early stage.
When a child visits the dentist from a young age, they get used to looking after their mouth, learn how to brush properly, and drop the idea that “the dentist is scary”. And that learning will stay with them for life.
The first visit to the children’s dentist
When should the first visit be?
Experts agree that the first visit should take place around a child’s first birthday, or when the first baby tooth appears. This way we can check how their mouth is developing, prevent early cavities, and answer parents’ questions about hygiene or diet.
We take care of the little ones
We know that the first experience always leaves a lasting impression. That’s why at our dental clinic in Fuengirola we take care of every detail: calm spaces, a team accustomed to speaking in children’s language, and techniques that inspire confidence. The goal is for the child to leave thinking ‘it wasn’t so bad’ and come back without fear the next time.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare my child for the dentist?
Talk to them positively, saying we’re going to check their smile, and avoid mentioning pain or threats. We’ll take care of the rest.
What if my child is afraid?
No problem. Our team is trained to manage children’s anxiety and make the visit a positive experience.
Is it normal for children to have cavities in baby teeth?
Yes. And even though they are temporary, it’s essential to treat them to prevent pain, infections, and problems with permanent teeth.
When should orthodontics be considered?
Ideally, the first check should be between 6 and 7 years old. That way we can detect jaw or bite issues early.
