For the occurrence of caries, only two factors are enough: the presence of dental plaque and the lack of action to eliminate it, therefore, during the first three years of a child's life, dental care is mostly the task of parents. And later, it will not be superfluous to control the quality of brushing your teeth, otherwise problems with children's teeth will still overtake you. If a child complains of a toothache, then know that you are already late with a visit to the dentist. Preventive visits to the doctor will be much more beneficial than the actual diagnosis of pulpitis. In addition, a good relationship with the dentist is the key to the absence of fear in the event that medical intervention is still required. The appearance of teeth can be deceiving, so dentists recommend visiting them regularly, or rather, at least once every four to six months. There is a myth among parents that makes an experienced pediatric dentist shiver: supposedly someone once told someone that there is no need to treat at all, they will fall out anyway. This information is not only incorrect, but also extremely dangerous for the health of your child. In fact, milk teeth, like molars, have roots and nerves, which means they can cause pain and even collapse entirely. The baby receives a full set of first teeth by about two years, and the change of milk to molars ends at about 12 years. It is easy to calculate how long caries received at three years old will destroy, for example, the chewing teeth, which are the last to change, without treatment. Agree that deliberately condemning your child to such suffering is simply monstrous. But to put a seal now is as easy as shelling pears. In dentistry, little patients are turned on cartoons, distracted with toys and in every possible way contribute to facilitate the treatment process.
