Baby Dental Health
Treatment
Early dental care guide for your baby to have healthy teeth.
About the treatment
Baby dental health encompasses oral care practices that begin from birth and support the healthy development of baby teeth. The first baby tooth typically starts to emerge around 6 months, and all 20 baby teeth are present by age 2-3. Proper care during this period directly affects both baby teeth and the permanent teeth that will come later. Early dental visits prevent cavity formation and provide guidance to parents on proper care techniques.

With the first tooth, begin using a soft-bristled baby toothbrush and a rice grain-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are teething symptoms?
Swelling and redness in the gums, increased drooling, fussiness, desire to bite, mild fever, and loss of appetite may be observed.

Brushing should begin as soon as the first tooth emerges. A soft-bristled baby brush and a very small amount of fluoride toothpaste should be used.
How can baby bottle tooth decay be prevented?
Don't put baby to sleep with a bottle, only put water in nighttime bottles, avoid sugary drinks, and clean the mouth after each feeding.
When should the first dental visit be?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first visit after the first tooth erupts or by age 1 at the latest.
Does pacifier use affect teeth?
