When to take your child to the dentist? The best time for your child's first visit is between 18 and 24 months. Dentists recommend not waiting until after the second year, because dental problems can occur even during this period. Children during this period are prone to the appearance of "pacifier syndrome", the appearance of harmful habits - thumb sucking, etc. In consultation with a specialist, a program can be made that will prevent further problems.

Before the first visit, tell your child what to expect. For example, what tools will be in the office, what the doctor will do, without creating a scary image. Usually, for young children, the first visit is “familiar” - the dentist will try to gain the child’s trust so that he is not afraid and it is not long. The dentist will do a complete examination of the mouth, gums and teeth.

If the dentist decides to do so, he or she may gently clean the teeth to remove plaque. If all goes well, the dentist will show and explain to your child how to brush their teeth and how important it is to keep them clean.

Finally, he will assess whether additional fluoridation of the teeth is needed.

Caring for children's teeth at home

1. Children's gums should be cleaned carefully with clean gauze.

2. After sprouting, the teeth should be brushed with a small soft brush and small amounts of toothpaste.

3. Don't let your child fall asleep with a pacifier. Liquids, such as milk, juice, etc. that remain in the mouth overnight can worsen the condition of the gums and teeth.

4. Teach your child to brush their teeth twice a day, especially in the evening.

5. Show your child how you take care of your teeth and this way you will teach him how important it is to maintain good hygiene.

A few words about fluoride. When children start brushing their own teeth, it is important to monitor how much toothpaste they use. The recommended amount is the size of a pea. You need to make sure that the child has learned to rinse and spit out the foam from the paste, and not swallow it. This can be dangerous if the child constantly swallows the paste - there is a risk of fluorosis. This can damage permanent teeth. It is necessary to check how much fluoride is in the drinking water. If it is sufficient, additional fluoride intake is not necessary. Consult your dentist on this issue.
Teething Baby teeth begin to erupt around the 6th month and continue until the 3rd year.

Around the age of 6, permanent teeth begin to erupt, replacing the milk teeth. The eruption is often accompanied by discomfort and some of the following symptoms:
- profuse salivation
- bubbles around the site of the piercing tooth
- temperature
- restlessness
- disturbed sleep

There are several ways to help your child in these moments:
- rub the area with a clean finger
- force the child to chew on rubber rings
- feed the child appropriately

Consult your doctor whenever your temperature increases, swelling appears, or there are signs of infection.

Thumb sucking

Thumb sucking is a common bad habit. It has been proven that many babies suck their thumbs even before they are born. It is assumed that this habit is a way for children to relax and feel secure. This bad habit can lead to serious dental problems if it continues after the eruption. It is especially dangerous if it continues after the age of five, when permanent teeth begin to erupt - they may erupt in the wrong position, orthodontic deformities may appear. Usually the habit disappears at school age, due to the mockery of other children, but if it does not stop, take measures. Tell your child that his peers have not sucked their thumbs for a long time and consult a specialist. The most important thing is not to punish the child - it is not good for him to be scared.
