Tips For First Visit To Dentist
One of the main objectives of the specialists is a relationship of trust with the child, to be a good time and not something traumatic. It may be that a dentist is not a favorite for children. However, this situation is changing thanks to new treatment techniques used by specialists for the first visit is not a traumatic event.
According to the German Clinic dentist Andrea Pinto, oral hygiene does not start when the first teeth erupt, but that from birth, when the child begins to use her mouth to feed. Thus, at first you have to clean the gums with a damp gauze to prevent the colonization of fungal disease known as candidiasis or development of other oral mucosal lesions.
We recommend a first visit to the dentist between six months and the first year of life, when they start baby teeth appear, because it is the ideal time to educate parents about behaviors that allow a good dental development.
The dentist explained that between the second and third years of life, the visits are really important, because at that age have the full time dental formula, which helps prevent tooth decay and bad habits that can alter the development of the dentition and the tissues that form the mouth and face. In this way we can educate the family and the child get used to the dental office.
The best professional care, said the specialist, is one that can prevent premature damage. Thus, treatment will be easier and more acceptable to the child.
Another objective of the first consultations is to keep baby teeth healthy. This is because in addition to their role in mastication, are important for the development of language and aesthetics as part of the child, thus influencing their socialization process. In addition, these teeth are natural space maintainers for permanent pieces.
Baby teeth are structured and how that favor the rapid advance of caries into the tooth. They begin as small areas of demineralization, which can be treated pharmacologically with fluorine-based products, which allows you to stop their advance and promote remineralization.
