Paediatric dentistry

Experience, approach, and areas of expertise.

Specialist Dr. Dt. Yağmur Yıldırım began her dental education at Yeditepe University Faculty of Dentistry and completed her undergraduate studies in 2018. Immediately after graduation, she continued her academic education at the same university and completed her PhD in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Yeditepe University Faculty of Dentistry. Having focused her academic and clinical work on pediatric dentistry, Dr. Yıldırım currently works as a Pediatric Dentistry Specialist at Dentsmile Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic.

Specializing in Pediatric Dentistry (Pedodontics), Dr. Yıldırım provides oral and dental healthcare for children from infancy through adolescence. She plans examination and treatment processes according to each child’s age, developmental stage, individual needs, and previous dental experiences.

Recognizing the importance of a child’s first experiences with a dentist, she places particular emphasis on helping children become familiar with the clinical environment and feel comfortable during their visits. Through a calm, patient, and, when appropriate, play-based communication approach, she aims to support children in adapting more comfortably to dental examinations and treatment procedures.

Her approach to pediatric dentistry focuses not only on treating existing dental problems but also on preventing oral and dental diseases before they develop. Preventive practices include fluoride applications, fissure sealants, caries risk assessment, and individualized preventive dentistry programs. Regular dental examinations also allow the development of the teeth and overall oral health to be monitored and potential problems to be identified at an early stage.

For children with significant dental anxiety, difficulty cooperating with routine dental procedures, or a need for extensive treatment, alternative treatment options may be considered. When clinically appropriate, dental treatment under sedation or general anesthesia may be planned together with the family, taking into consideration the child’s individual needs and overall health.

As parents play an important role in maintaining their children’s oral health, Dr. Yıldırım also provides families with practical guidance on home oral care, age-appropriate toothbrushing habits, nutrition, and regular dental check-up schedules.

In her practice at Dentsmile Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic, Specialist Dr. Dt. Yağmur Yıldırım aims not only to treat existing dental conditions but also to help children develop appropriate oral hygiene habits from an early age. Her clinical approach is based on preventive dentistry, regular follow-up, and communication methods adapted to children, with the objective of supporting long-term oral and dental health.
