FAQ'S
The Indian Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children should visit a pediatric dentist by their first birthday or within six months of the eruption of their first tooth.
Regular dental visits should occur every six months, starting from the first visit, to prevent oral diseases and promote good oral hygiene habits.
Baby teeth are crucial for chewing, speaking, and smiling. They also serve as placeholders for permanent teeth, helping guide them into proper position.
Encourage good oral hygiene habits like brushing teeth twice a day, limiting sugary snacks and drinks, and visiting the pediatric dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
If your child loses a baby tooth, congratulate them on losing their first tooth! Give them an ice-cream to control the bleed. If the tooth is lost due to injury, contact the pediatric dentist to assess any potential damage.
Children under two years old should use a fluoride-free toothpaste, while those over two can use a pea-sized amount of child-friendly fluoride toothpaste.
Start with positive experiences, explain procedures in simple terms, and encourage open communication. The pediatric dentist can also help make the experience comfortable and enjoyable.
