The principal objective is to monitor oral health up to adolescence in order to ensure that the child reaches adult life with a healthy smile and no fear of dental treatment. Children’s consultations therefore need special care and treatment, in an environment adapted to the needs of children because, as they are not miniature adults, they require greater attention so that the visit to the dentist becomes play and not something that is a traumatic experience.
Biokids® is committed to continuous training of the team. The clinical staff meets each week and is constantly adding to basic academic training. Children in Biokids®, are not upset when they need to change their paediatric dentist as everyone takes the same approach and uses the same diagnostic methods, speaking the same kind of language. We are a passionate, dedicated team, a real team of complementary talents as each paediatric dentist offers sub-areas of specialisation within paediatric dentistry!

Biokids® provides individual consultations for children with regard to the pathologies that they may have.
We provide both face to face and online consultations designed for and adapted to each of the following: asthma, anaemia, diabetes, celiac disease, heart disease.
In Biokids® we help the child to break the habit of using a dummy/pacifier. We have developed a programme of specialist consultations directed specifically to helping and guiding the child and the family through this process. We use a positive reinforcement philosophy through games and challenges that give a high level of success.
We provide both face to face and online consultations especially designed around the theme of dummies/pacifiers.
This area concerns jaw and mandible bone growth in order to prevent the development of facial asymmetries, limiting dissonance and future need for more complex orthodontic treatment / surgery or the need to extract teeth.
This is complemented and supported by areas such as Otolaryngology (which allows the mandible to advance and traction and expansion of the jaw), Speech Therapy (correcting mal occlusions which impede the correct positioning of the tongue and, as a consequence, good diction) and Posture (it is impossible to dissociate body posture from the position of the jaws).
In Biokids® paediatric diagnosis of mal occlusions (either due to teeth and /or skeletal problems) is always complemented by a complete postural evaluation
Bad oral habits such as incorrect swallowing, bad tongue posture and breathing through the mouth are the principal causes for misaligned teeth. The force of the tongue, lips and cheeks combined with these bad habits can have an effect on the positioning of the teeth as they influence the way that the jaw and mandible grow.
In Biokids® we use myofunctional orthodontics as a complement to neural-occlusive, orthodontic, facial and functional orthopaedic rehabilitation therapies as well as training programmes and respiratory correction. Biokids® is also a Myobrace® Certified Clinic.
A preventative approach in order to balance the mastigatory system and its components (muscles, teeth and joints), guiding correct growth and development of the boney base of the child.
In Biokids® we combine this area with evaluation and, if necessary, integrated postural treatment in order to produce more predictable and stable results.
Treatment of unilateral posterior right crossbite through neural-occlusal rehabilitation (mixture of paths and selective wear) in a 5 year old child, without the need to use braces. The treatment of this type of mal occlusion must be as early as possible to minimize asymmetric facial growth.
Our team believes that the great majority of postural changes found in children if not assessed and monitored correctly and/or treated tend to get worse in adulthood. An adult with pain or postural dysfunction was, in most cases, a child who was not treated in time!
This study was developed by the posture team of Biokids®, taking into account the notions of verticality and symmetry. This arose because of the need to make a complete evaluation of various postural parameters during an appointment, which involves carrying out and registering various orthopaedic tests to detect the presence (or absence) of postural changes in the child and to prevent any tendency for the same growth to continue in the future and avoid the effects this would cause.
In this complete check-up, the range of assessments carried out by different health professionals is the key to success, as this allows a more global view of the child’s problems which is an essential tool when taking clinical decisions by grading treatment priorities.
This study is the basis for postural treatment and occlusion within Biokids®. We also frequently receive referrals from other health professionals. Our multidisciplinarity allows us to communicate with and guide other health professionals to take clinical decisions which provide the patient with the best, most rapid and effective treatment possible through identifying the root of the problem and not merely dealing with its consequences.
This area deals with the diagnosis and appropriate treatment of growth and physical maturity of the lower limbs to try to prevent the development of structural, biomechanical and dermatological alterations and thus avoid their repercussions in adulthood.
During infancy the changes commonly identified in clinical practice are:
Structural/Biomechanical: changes in the gait; changes of the position of the knees; changes in support in the foot; limb length discrepancy of the lower limbs; after effects of pathologies (club foot or congenital dislocation of the hip); HAV (bunions); specific growth pathologies amongst others.
Dermatological: warts; mycosis; excessive transpiration; onycopathy (for example, ingrowing toe nails) amongst others.
