Pedodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the dental development of infants and children. The goal is to ensure that children maintain healthy teeth and gums as they grow. Here are some important things to know about pedodontics and dental care for children.
It’s recommended that infants have their first dental examination six months after the appearance of their first milk tooth. After this initial visit, regular check-ups are necessary to monitor their dental development and ensure any issues are addressed in a timely manner.
Regular dental check-ups are essential for children, even if they appear to have healthy teeth and gums. Ideally, visits should be spaced out every six months. However, if the child is at high risk for dental disease, such as if they have a history of cavities or if their teeth are misaligned, more frequent visits may be necessary, such as every three months.
