Children's Dental Hygiene
Pediatric Dentistry is the area of Dentistry that is dedicated to children’s dental hygiene. The smile of children, teenagers, pregnant women and patients with special needs has a dedicated area at IPRO Clinic.
The first visit to the dentist, even during childhood, allows to prevent the development of oral health problems, even before the first baby teeth.
The children's first visit to the pediatric dentist should take place around six months or at the beginning of the eruption of the first teeth.
Regularity
If good oral health is observed, the child should return every 6 months. If the opposite is observed, the child must return every three months.
Deciduous Teeth (Milk Teeth)
These teeth usually appear between 6 and 8 months of life. Between two and a half years and three, a total of 20 teeth are completed. If the child does not have any baby teeth after one year of life, you should contact your dentist. Do not judge that because they are baby teeth they do not deserve extra care, as it is important not to forget that some of these teeth remained in the child’s mouth until 11/12 years old.
Preventive Orthodontics
Dental malposition and malocclusion are problems that affect many children, determining the need for the use of dental devices. In this sense, regular monitoring is essential to act early and prevent or treat the problem from the beginning.
Treatment of Dental Cavities
The intake of sugars and poor brushing are frequent in youngsters. These actions can result in the appearance of tooth decay. If left untreated, cavities can condition the early loss of baby teeth, often with consequences for the positioning and alignment of the definitive dentition. In addition to the treatment, during the consultation, the child and the parents are advised on healthy eating habits and oral hygiene.
