Pediatric Dental Treatments

KIDS DENTISTRY

Children are not miniature adults. They have their own world to explore. We having pediatric dentist here at VIJAYAKRISHNA DENTAL try to see not only child teeth but child’s overall development thereby providing wings for children to explore the world.

Why Baby Teeth Are Important

Primary teeth are important for several reasons. Foremost, strong teeth allow children to eat and maintain good nutrition. Healthy teeth facilitate word pronunciation and a positive self-image. Primary teeth also guide eruption of the permanent teeth.

Infant Tooth Eruption

Your child’s baby teeth actually started forming before birth. As early as 4-6 months of age, the primary teeth (“baby teeth”) erupt. The 20 primary teeth typically erupt in stages, and are all are usually in by age 3. Both primary and permanent teeth tend to erupt symmetrically, with the same tooth on the left and right erupting around the same time. While the actual time of tooth eruption may vary from child to child which is usually normal variation.

Your Child’s First Dental Visit

Your child’s first dental visit should be scheduled around when the first tooth erupts or by 1 year of age. The most important part of the visit will be the conversation you will have with us about the prevention of cavities. Diet, Oral hygiene and fluoride are the 3 important topics we will discuss and we will explain how if you follow some simple rules, you can ensure your child remains cavity free. Another important part of the first visit is getting to know and becoming comfortable with us. Frequent, easy, early visits build trust and help put your child at ease during future dental visits should they ever need treatment. Usually the examination of your infant or young child is very quick and performed in your lap to make your child feel comfortable.
