As soon as the first tooth appears in the mouth, that is, as soon as your baby’s first tooth comes out, the first tooth control should be done by a pediatric dentist, approximately at the latest around 1 year old.

In this way, on your first visit to the KidSmile Private Smile Child Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic; Correct nutrition recommendations for your baby’s oral and dental health at an early age, bad oral habits warnings and caries prevention methods are explained.

There is no age limit in our clinic 🙂

In fact, milk teeth have very important functions. In addition to fulfilling the bite and chewing function for your child’s healthy nutrition until adolescence, milk teeth also provide a place for proper speaking (pronunciation) and for the permanent teeth underneath to come out properly.

If your child loses a primary tooth prematurely due to extraction due to trauma or infection, the adjacent teeth will fall into the gap of this missing tooth and cause crowding in the permanent dentition due to loss of space.

You can use a small-headed, soft-bristled toothbrush and the appropriate amount of toothpaste for your child’s age (rice grain for under 2 years old, pea-sized toothpaste for other age groups) to clean the plaque and bacteria that cause cavities.

It’s never too early to get your child into the habit of brushing for two minutes twice a day. On the contrary, children develop their routine habits much more easily at a young age.

Especially in pre-primary school age groups, tooth brushing should be done and controlled by the parents.

If these habits continue in children over the age of 3, as the development of the child’s palate and jaw and the proper eruption of the new permanent teeth are adversely affected, they should definitely be worried and a pediatric dentist should be consulted urgently and help should be sought.

After the age of 3, you can bring your child to our KidSmile Special Smile Child Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic for the early diagnosis of crooked teeth that may occur in the jaw structure or new teeth to be examined and consult us about when early intervention can be made.

Fluoride; It is a natural mineral that makes teeth more resistant and strong against acids, thus reducing the risk of caries.

Scientific data based on 70 years of research proves that fluoride prevents dental caries, and there is no other toothpaste ingredient with this reliability.

For this reason, dentists recommend fluoride-containing toothpastes and professionally applied fluoride varnish and gel preservative applications to their patients.

If you have a lifelong goal of good oral health for your family, early and frequent visits to the dentist play a key role in this regard. When you provide this, your child will be able to stay in a positive relationship with the dentist for life.

If you cannot provide this and your child has unhappy memories with the dentist, this will result in him not wanting to go to the dentist for life and therefore having bad oral health.

As KidSmile Private Smile Children’s Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic, we give you the necessary and important advice for your child to have a successful first dentist experience before our first appointment.

Your regular visit to KidSmile Private Smile Child Oral and Dental Health Clinic plays a key role in this regard.

With the right information and techniques we provide in the environment of our clinic specially designed for children, they will gain lifelong oral and dental health education with an enjoyable experience without even realizing it.

Your child’s nutrition is very important. Consumption of healthy vegetables and fruits and consumption of fibrous foods positively affect dental health. However, you should stay away from sugar-containing and acidic foods. Frequent consumption of such foods by your child is one of the main causes of caries.

In your regular controls, we provide training on correct oral hygiene, which we aim to be permanent for life, preventive fluoride applications applied at the right dose and frequency, fissure sealant application and limiting sugar consumption.

First of all, you should stay calm and call KidSmile Private Smile Child Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic and request an urgent appointment for the same day.

If your child’s tooth is displaced or broken, immediately remove the tooth and the broken pieces without touching the root of the tooth. If the baby tooth is dislodged, never try to replace it because remember that there is another tooth underneath and you can damage it. Just wash the tooth with lukewarm water and bring it into a bowl of warm milk. If your child has suffered a blow to the head or jaw, this may require an emergency visit to the medical doctor before the dentist.

This procedure is completely painless and very short-term; so many kids think it’s so much fun.
