Frequently Asked Questions
When should I take my child for their first dental check-up?
The first check-up should be done after the first tooth erupts or by age 1 at the latest. Early check-ups help prevent potential problems and help the child get used to the dentist.
Why are baby teeth important? They're going to fall out anyway.
Baby teeth are critical for nutrition, speech development, and proper positioning of permanent teeth. Early loss of baby teeth can cause crowding in permanent teeth.
My child is very afraid of the dentist. What should I do?
Pediatric dentists are specially trained in this area. Fear can be overcome with child-appropriate approaches, play techniques, and sedation applications if necessary. It's important that the first experience is positive.
What preventive treatments are applied to children?
Fissure sealants (cavity-preventing coating), topical fluoride application, dental cleaning, and nutritional counseling are the main preventive treatments.
Can babies get tooth decay?
Yes, known as 'baby bottle tooth decay,' this condition is common. Especially nighttime feeding with sugary liquids or dipping pacifiers in honey causes decay. Cleaning should start from the first tooth.
