PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY IN MÁLAGA
What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric Dentistry is the branch of Dentistry that takes care of and treats the teeth and gums of the youngest members of the family.
This is done at an early age to begin preventing and educating about oral health. It is recommended that your little one visit our clinic from the age of one and a half or two.
Good oral health habits are very important to maintain a healthy mouth from childhood.

Types of Pediatric Dentistry Treatments
Children’s Orthodontics
Invisalign First
Completely invisible orthodontics for children.
Bulky maxillary orthopedic devices have become obsolete with advances in invisible orthodontics. Safer, cleaner, more comfortable and at the same price; all advantages.
Don’t let your child feel bad about orthodontics, prevent it with Dr. Lola Escalante’s invisible orthodontics.
Myobrace System
A very high percentage of malocclusions are due to bad habits acquired in early childhood: atypical swallowing, mouth breathing, finger sucking, tongue interposition, etc.
These habits must be corrected at early ages, between 5 and 9 years, for the correct development of the jaws and thus the correct dental eruption.
With the Myobrace System, Dr. Lola Escalante manages to re-educate these bad habits, and your child’s facial development will be carried out correctly. In most cases, they will not need orthodontics again or it will be very mild.
Composite Ramps
Every day there are more children with problems in the development of their jaws. To correct this problem, Composite Ramps are an alternative to traditional orthodontics. It consists of modeling “ramps” on the child’s teeth that block the teeth in contact and bring them to the correct position.
To do this, we use composite, a material similar to teeth that is visually completely unnoticeable, based on our invisible orthodontics philosophy. They won’t notice anything, as we model the composite on their teeth, and the “ramps” will do their job, correcting the way they bite and consequently the position of the bone.
The advantages of using this alternative technique over traditional brackets are many: the little ones don’t have to be careful not to lose the brackets, nor do parents have to be aware that they are wearing them daily.
PADI – Children’s Dental Care Plan
Children aged between 6 and 15 residing in Andalusia are entitled to receive basic dental care and certain special treatments free of charge through the Individual Health Card.
What does children’s oral care cover?
Always according to each dentist’s criteria, the following may be performed:
- Sealing of fissures or pits in healthy permanent teeth to prevent the appearance of cavities.
- Fillings in permanent teeth when cavities already exist.
- Most appropriate treatment of pulp lesions.
- Extraction of temporary teeth (baby teeth).
- Extraction of a permanent tooth, provided that in the opinion of your primary dentist there is no other more conservative treatment.
- Scaling when calculus and/or extrinsic pigmentation is detected in permanent dentition.
Care may also cover certain special treatments for trauma or malformations of the incisor and canine teeth.
We answer frequently asked questions about Pediatric Dentistry:
At what age do baby teeth usually start to come in?
The first teeth to appear are the two central incisors of the upper and lower arches; they normally come in from 6 months of age. Although the duration of the process varies slightly for each child.
When do baby teeth start to fall out?
It is different for each child, but generally, they start to fall out from the age of 5. However, there are children who start to lose them at 4 and others beyond 5.
What happens if permanent teeth start to come in before baby teeth fall out?
Sometimes these types of anomalies occur: a tooth comes in early or never comes in naturally. If this happens, see your dentist so they can determine the cause, provide a solution, and prevent future problems.
How to brush children's teeth?
The most recommended brushing technique for children, when they are young, consists of making circular movements on the external and internal surfaces of the teeth. These movements should be short and from front to back and vice versa.

Me hicieron escaneos 3D, me explicaron todo con claridad y solucionaron el problema de inmediato. Muy profesionales, un ambiente muy agradable y precios justos. ¡Las recomiendo ampliamente!
Gracias por la paciencia y por la dedicación, se siente el profesionalismo desde el primer momento!
La recomiendo sin dudarlo, no te hace nada que no necesites. Ha sido un acierto encontrarla.
Lo mejor de todo es que esa amabilidad va de la mano con una efectividad absoluta en cada tratamiento. Es certera en el diagnóstico, muy minuciosa trabajando y los resultados son impecables.
También merece destacar a la auxiliar Natalia, que igualmente es maravillosa, amable, simpática y muy profesional.
Sin duda siempre recomendaré este estudio dental.

Clínica totalmente recomendable.
Me acompañaron mi hijo y su pareja. En total, nos hicieron: una endodoncia y una corona, dos implantes molares, una extracción de muela del juicio, cinco empastes, una reconstrucción dental y una limpieza dental completa. Los tres coincidimos en que esta clínica es fantástica.
Málaga es una ciudad maravillosa que he visitado muchas veces para disfrutar de su cultura y sus vacaciones soleadas, y la recomiendo encarecidamente a todos mis amigos. Ahora, sin duda, recomendaré a mi familia y amigos que utilicen los servicios dentales de Lola y Natalia durante su visita.
Lo que las distingue es su genuina preocupación. Se toman el tiempo necesario para asegurarse de que comprendas cada paso del proceso y hacen un seguimiento después de los procedimientos para ver cómo te encuentras. Ese tipo de atención es poco común.
La rapidez del tratamiento también fue notable: una corona colocada a los cuatro días del escaneo inicial y dos implantes programados al día siguiente de que decidiera ponérmelos. La combinación de habilidad, calidez y esa refrescante actitud positiva hace que esta clínica sea realmente especial.
Recomiendo encarecidamente a Lola y Natalia. Muchísimas gracias a ambas.
Muy contentos toda la familia con nuestra dentista y su equipo. He ido varias veces de urgencia con mi peque de 10 añitos y siempre ha estado para nosotras con una gran calidad humana. Felicidades a la Dra. Lola y a Rosmery, se agradece enormemente encontrar profesionales tan buenos tanto en lo personal como en lo profesional, sin lugar a dudas una de las mejores clínicas de Málaga. ¡Enhorabuena!
