Services designed to care and educate.
Baby Care (0 to 3 years)
The 0 to 3 years stage is one of the most important for establishing the foundations of good oral health. At Hola Sonríe, we accompany families from the beginning, building trust, closeness and healthy habits that will last throughout childhood. Our approach is respectful, preventive and emotionally adapted to the rhythms of each baby and their caregivers.
- Dental outbreak control: We evaluate the growth and eruption of baby teeth from the first tooth. We detect if there are alterations in the sequence, shape or number of pieces, and guide parents on what is normal and what is not. In addition, we monitor for signs of discomfort or inflammation common at this stage.
- Advice on breastfeeding, bottle and pacifier feeding: During this age, prolonged bottle or pacifier use can have effects on bite, palate and oral development. We teach parents how to balance breastfeeding with oral hygiene, when to initiate the transition to the sippy cup, and how to gradually remove the pacifier without creating anxiety.
- Prevention of baby bottle caries: Many times, cavities can appear even before the age of 3, especially when babies sleep with a bottle or consume sugary liquids. We teach practical strategies: oral hygiene from the first tooth, use of gauze or special brushes, recommended types of liquids and safe nighttime routines that protect their smile from the start.

Preventive Dentistry for Children.
Prevention is the key to long-lasting oral health. At Hola Sonríe, we believe that teaching a child to take care of his or her teeth is one of the most important gifts he or she can receive. That's why we design a preventive approach full of empathy, play and active education, where every visit is an opportunity for learning and protection.
- Gentle, age-appropriate cleansing: We use special techniques and tools for each stage of dental development. These cleanings help eliminate bacterial plaque and accustom children to professional hygiene without generating discomfort or fear.
- Application of fluoride and dental sealants: We protect the most vulnerable teeth with treatments that strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. Fluoride acts as a natural shield, while sealants cover the fissures where food tends to accumulate.
- Playful education for dental hygiene: We teach through play, modeling and interactive materials. In this way, children understand how and why to brush, and integrate it as part of their routine with joy and autonomy.
- Early detection of caries or bite problems: We perform constant check-ups that allow us to anticipate any sign of caries, wear and tear or malocclusion. Early detection avoids complex treatments in the future and ensures a healthy dental development.

Early Childhood Orthodontics.
Early orthodontics not only seeks an esthetic smile, but also proper function from the earliest years. Early detection and correction of alterations in bone development or bite can avoid more complex treatments in adolescence. At Hola Sonríe, we evaluate each case with a preventive, functional and harmonious approach to the natural growth of the child.
- Evaluation of bone and dental development: We observe how the jaw grows, the position of the teeth and the relationship between both arches. This allows us to identify malocclusions, oral breathing or habits that may affect oral and dental development.
- Use of functional or preventive devices: If necessary, we recommend removable or fixed devices that guide bone growth or correct habits such as atypical swallowing or digital suction. These treatments are comfortable, personalized and adapted to the age of the child.
- Timely referral if full orthodontic treatment is needed: When we detect cases that require a more in-depth approach, we refer to a trusted orthodontist at the appropriate time. This ensures that treatment is timely, efficient and in the best interest of the child's overall development.

Caries Treatment in Children.
Childhood cavities are more common than we think and, if left untreated, can affect children's overall health, nutrition and self-esteem. At Hola Sonríe, we offer safe, effective treatments with an approach that minimizes fear and maximizes confidence. We focus on restoring, protecting and educating, always with respect for the child's experience.
- Resthetic restorations in deciduous teeth: We use biocompatible and highly esthetic materials to repair primary teeth without affecting their function or appearance. These restorations are durable, discreet and designed to blend naturally into the child's smile.
- Specialized treatments: We treat deep cavities, infections or dental trauma with techniques adapted to the age and tolerance of the patient. When necessary, we use digital local anesthesia, state-of-the-art materials or even referral for more complex treatments, always prioritizing the emotional and physical well-being of the child.
