Project Description
Pediatric dentistry is the specialty of dentistry responsible for caring for and treating children from newborns to the onset of puberty. Its main objective is to detect problems in the temporary dentition, what we know as milk teeth. This way you can prevent them from suffering from serious dental problems when they grow up.
WHEN TO TAKE CHILDREN TO A PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY SPECIALIST?
It is recommended that after the first year old of the child go for a dental check-up with the specialist. The Pediatric Dentist will check the growth of the jaw and that the teeth are coming out correctly, well aligned and without problems.
During the growth of the child, some factors can alter dental health.
- Consumption of fruit porridge or sugary foods
- The use of a bottle or pacifier
- The difficulty of having good dental hygiene at an early age
- Believing that baby teeth are going to fall out and therefore it is not important to maintain dental health
As long as everything is fine, you can go for check-ups every 6 months or every year to check the state of your oral health and teeth.
Another reason to go to a pediatric dentist is a trauma such as a blow or a fall that can directly affect the teeth and that needs urgent treatment. The appearance of caries is also a frequent consultation in pediatric dentistry since during childhood the high consumption of sugars is common.
Schedule your appointment at Smile Designers to get quality care with professional specialists and state-of-the-art equipment.
