Why take care of baby teeth if they are going to fall out?

Temporary teeth must be treated to prevent further damage to permanent teeth, which is why it is advisable to make the first visit to children after one year or from the appearance of the first teeth. A smaller size of the temporary teeth will imply a more rapid evolution of the caries towards their interior, in addition, the premature loss of temporary teeth will lead to position problems of the permanent teeth.

Tips to take care of your child’s dental health

Babies : Wet gauze on the gum after each milk feeding

First teeth : Silicone thimble, once a day infant toothbrush

First molars : Children’s toothbrush + dental floss

2-3 years : Paste without fluoride

3-6 years : Children’s toothpastes with fluoride 500ppm

7 years : Higher concentration of fluoride between 1000 and 1500 ppm

Has your child knocked his teeth?

Stay calm, try to convey peace of mind to the child and act quickly. If the tooth has fallen out, put it under the tongue or in a container with a little milk or physiological solution to prevent dehydration. Subsequently, go to the dentist immediately (maximum 1/2 hour), as the tooth is hydrated the dentist could try to reimplant it.

Fear of the dentist in children

80% of people are afraid of the dentist, a fear that is not based on a painful or traumatic experience in a dental clinic, but is a fear of the unknown. To avoid this phobia there are steps and recommendations to take into account.

Naturalness

It is very important that dental appointments are part of the routine, making visits every 6 months so that the child gets used to the appointments and is not so afraid.

Example

Parents should explain to the child that going to the dentist does not hurt, at the same time they should follow the same routine as him so that he sees that they are not afraid of the procedures.

Positive attitude

Parents help a lot by having a positive attitude, you must always explain to the child where you are going and what, you must never lie to him so that he is not caught by surprise.

Booster

If the child has behaved well in the dental clinic, it doesn’t hurt to reward him with a small prize to reinforce his bravery for having been a true champion.
