Frequently Asked Questions
When Should a Child Have Their First Dental Check-up?
Your child’s first dental check-up should be done after their first tooth erupts or by their first birthday at the latest. This early visit allows the dentist to assess your child’s oral health, provide information on proper oral hygiene habits, and detect potential issues early. An early start also helps your child get comfortable with the dental environment.
Why Are Baby Teeth Important? Should They Be Treated?
Although baby teeth are “temporary,” they have vital roles in chewing, speech development, and holding space for permanent teeth. Losing baby teeth prematurely can lead to misalignment of permanent teeth. Therefore, baby teeth must be treated if they have cavities or infections. Healthy baby teeth are the foundation for healthy permanent teeth.
How Can Cavities Be Prevented in Children?
Preventing cavities in children involves regular and proper brushing (twice daily), using fluoride toothpaste, limiting sugary food and drink consumption, and regular dental check-ups. Additionally, fluoride applications and sealants, as recommended by your dentist, can further enhance cavity protection.
How Do Thumb Sucking and Bottle Use Affect Teeth?
Prolonged thumb sucking or bottle use can lead to orthodontic problems like misalignment of teeth and jaws, and an open bite (when the front teeth don’t meet). Giving a bottle with milk or sugary drinks at bedtime, in particular, leads to widespread decay known as “baby bottle tooth decay.” It’s recommended to stop these habits before age 3.
Are Sedation and Anesthesia Used in Pediatric Dentistry?
Yes, in some cases, sedation or general anesthesia may be used during dental treatment for children. Especially for very young children, highly anxious children, or those requiring extensive treatment, these methods can be utilized to ensure the child’s comfort and create a safe treatment environment. A detailed evaluation and parental consent are obtained before the procedure.
