Prevention comes first among the protective applications for children. In addition to this, doctors use methods such as fissure sealants.
It is mandatory to perform dental care in children as soon as their teeth emerge in infancy. Although the first teeth will fall out, they play a major role in settling the jaw and mouth structure of children. For this reason, it is very important to protect the overall health of the teeth. Preventive dentistry constantly checks children's teeth at regular intervals and gives advice to parents.
So, what should be done for children's dental health in the first stage?
- Parents should brush their children's teeth as soon as their first teeth come out. They should do this with brushes suitable for the child's age.
- Toothpaste use is not recommended for children under 3 years old. Teeth can be brushed with water during this period.
- In order to protect dental health in children, this habit must be clearly established in the child until the age of 6.
- Later, the dentist will explain tooth brushing techniques to your child.
What are Preventive Dentistry Applications in Children?
Fissure sealant comes first among the preventive dentistry applications in children. 6-year-old teeth are the teeth on which dentists most frequently apply fissure sealant. In this way, the indentations in the tooth structure disappear and the formation of decay is prevented. We welcome you to our clinic for detailed information and application.
