When Should My Child Visit the Dentist for the First Time?

It is recommended that a child visit the dentist for the first time at one year old or after the eruption of their first tooth.

How Can I Maintain My Child’s Dental Health?

  • Regular Brushing: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, brushing twice daily.
  • Limit Sugary Foods: Reduce your child’s intake of sugary foods and drinks, especially before bedtime.
  • Encourage Water Intake: Drinking water regularly helps clean the mouth and remove food particles.
  • Routine Checkups: Regular dental visits ensure your child’s teeth remain healthy.
  • Healthy Nutrition: A diet rich in calcium and vitamins strengthens teeth.
  • Flossing: Older children can use dental floss to remove food particles stuck between teeth.
  • Be a Role Model: Set a good example by maintaining your own oral hygiene.

 

Signs of Dental Problems in Children:

  • Tooth pain.
  • Redness or swelling of the gums.
  • Difficulty chewing or swallowing.
  • White or brown spots on teeth.
