There are several reasons for regular visits to the dentist at an early age:
– the child becomes familiar with the doctor and the clinic, so that at a
later age
they do not suffer from dental trauma,
– the doctor checks the
correct
eruption of teeth,
– early discovery of small cavities allows for
their
fast and painless treatment.
In severely destroyed primary teeth with deep decay, their premature loss occurs, followed by the displacement of other teeth into these empty gaps. As a result, permanent teeth often cannot erupt in the desired position and erupt "crookedly".
By fluoridation and early treatment of cavities in primary teeth, thereby preserving them until the physiological exchange for permanent ones, you significantly minimize the risk of "incorrect tooth eruption" and the subsequent necessity of wearing an orthodontic appliance to "straighten" them.
You should have the first preventive check-up with your child as early as the first year of life, and then every six months until adulthood.
