Experts recommend a first visit early to avoid the ‘sin’ associate the dentist with a bad experience
Facing new and unknown things (especially if sitting in a barber’s chair or a dentist) is always an adventure for the ‘sin’ of the house, which sometimes can be seen as a small ‘trauma’ unless we take appropriate action. For this reason and to avoid tears and unpleasant experiences , experts recommend that the first visit by children to the dentist as soon as possible: neither 1 nor 2, the ‘sin’ should first visit the dentist after the age of 3 years , and always as a routine visit or ‘check’, before there is a problem.
The first contact of children with your dentist should be linked to something nice (where possible), so as not to associate the clinical and chair of a specialist with an assault or a negative or painful experience. From there, experts recommend regular visits, two per year will be sufficient to detect any problems that the ‘sin’ may arise in their teeth , and that, normally, and at this age tend to be mostly the dreaded cavities . And this is the main dental condition that can occur during the first years of life, but is unlikely to occur if we take care: Typically, only children with a genetic predisposition or poor oral hygiene, tooth decay can begin to develop after the age of 4 years. The way to ‘fight’ from near the cradle: teach them to maintain proper hygiene habits from 2 years, a balanced diet low in sweets, and regular intake of fluoride, which strengthened from ‘little ones’ the fabric of their permanent teeth, which mineralization begins virtually at birth.
