Dental care is not only a matter of adults, it is also very important for children. Parents should pay attention to the health of their children's teeth. Here are the basic knowledge of pediatric dental care.
Regular dentist appointments can help reduce your child's chances of having cavities since his teeth will be cleaned to remove plaque build-up and a fluoride treatment will be applied to strengthen the enamel of the teeth. The dentist will also examine your child's teeth, jawbones, and oral tissues to check for any potential problems.
After your child's first dentist appointment, he or she should continue to have regular check-ups at least every six months. In some cases, such as with children who are at increased risk of tooth decay, your child's dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
Sometimes, children will need to have a cavity filled or other dental work done — but should you go through with it if your child still has her baby teeth? Dental work is necessary even for kids who still have their primary or baby teeth, since cavities can be painful, and healthy baby teeth are important to help your child chew food, speak properly, and guide permanent teeth into their proper position.
