Why should you consult a kids dentist for your child’s oral health?

Many people believe that milk teeth do not need dental attention as they are meant to fall off and give way to permanent teeth. This is a misconception. Milk teeth play an important role in your child’s overall nutrition and health. Early loss of milk teeth can affect your child’s overall development.

Some of the functions of milk teeth are as follows:

• They are essential in helping develop the kids’s occlusion or bite

• They are important as they enable proper chewing which facilitates digestion and ensures good nutrition for the development of your child

• They help in speech development.

• They help instil Self confidence in your child

How can Paediatric Dentistry help my child?

If infected before their time of falling and replacement by permanent, milk teeth can cause a lot of dental health issues.

When should you take your Child to a Dentist for the First Time?

One common mistake parents usually make is to wait until their child gets a dental problem to visit a dentist. This is to be avoided. The ideal age to see a dentist is immediately after the first set of teeth erupts into the mouth. We examine your child’s oral health and monitor for dental issues such as cavities. We also suggest your child’s diet along with measures to maintain your child’s oral health accordingly.
