Your questions

Dear Rajko! The decision to extract deciduous teeth depends on various factors, which I do not know in the problem you describe. I am convinced that the treating dentist made the correct decision. We ourselves try to perform invasive procedures under local anesthesia. Some children accept it more readily, others less so. In my opinion, a child should also be told that the procedure may hurt a little, but that it is worth tolerating it briefly. Psychological preparation of the patient comes first in this regard. Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam! The solution depends on the overall dental status (too little or too much space in the jaw, type of bite), any orthodontic anomalies, and of course local problems affecting the tooth itself that could make normal root-canal treatment difficult or even impossible. If several factors favor preserving and treating the tooth, we try to treat it; if not, we extract it. I could give you a precise answer after a clinical examination and an X-ray. Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam! According to the latest guidelines abroad, implants are placed for special indications even in children as young as seven. Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam! I am not very familiar with the rules for payment of orthodontic therapy, but I will try to help you. The therapy is paid for by the health insurance if it was started before the patient turned eighteen. The patient must not discontinue the therapy themselves (of their own will), otherwise they become a self-paying patient. Orthodontists triage (classify) patients among the limited number of funded therapies according to the degree of impairment. The degree and type of impairment also determine the type of orthodontic appliance (fixed or removable). All the rules, or at least information on how to access them, are available to you on the ZZZS website. Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam! You can contact any dentist, who will refer you to a paediatric dentist (a specialist in children's dentistry) if necessary. We look forward to your visit.

Dear Sir/Madam! Keep the piece that has broken off (if you find it) in physiological saline. Since this is usually not at hand, it can be replaced with saliva that the child spits into a cup or plastic bag, or with milk. The cup or bag containing the fragment and storage medium can be cooled with cold water or ice. Do not rinse the fragment with water or alcohol under any circumstances and do not let it dry out. Bring the fragment with you to the dental office, where it will most likely be possible to bond it back to the tooth. If the fragment is not available, the dentist will replace the missing part with a suitable material. I wish you as few injuries as possible!

A primary tooth is not replanted into the tooth socket, so it is not important to look for it at the scene of the accident; instead, focus on the injured child and take them to a dentist or doctor. Permanent teeth can be reinserted into the alveolus (their original position), so it is important to find the tooth at the site of injury. You can replant the tooth yourself: rinse the tooth with saline solution (never with water or alcohol), orient it correctly and push it into the alveolus, then have the child bite gently on a folded gauze pad or tissue. In this state, take the child to the dentist. If you cannot do this, store the tooth in saline solution, milk or saliva. Place the closed plastic bag containing the tooth and the medium (saline, saliva, milk, blood) inside another bag containing a cooling medium (ice, cold water) and close it again. Take the tooth and the injured child to the dentist as quickly as possible. Reimplantations are very successful within the first six hours after injury. Of course, with such injuries you must first and foremost pay attention to factors that could (God forbid) endanger the patient's life (major bleeding, injury to the head and neck, choking on a tooth, blood or saliva, level of consciousness...) May there be as few injuries as possible!
