Caring for your child’s oral health from their very first baby tooth, ensuring a bright smile at every stage of growth.<\/p>\n
Oral health and dental hygiene during childhood lay the foundation not only for chewing and proper nutrition, but also for speech development, facial structure growth, as well as your child’s confidence and personality. Tooth decay in young children occurs easily and progresses rapidly if left unchecked. “Because long-term dental health starts with the very first tooth<\/strong>,” parents should bring their little ones for dental check-ups starting in infancy.<\/p>\n The Pediatric Dental Center at Synphaet Children’s Hospital is ready to care for children’s oral health from the first baby tooth through adolescence. Run by a team of pediatric dentists who understand children’s development and behavior, and equipped with modern dental tools and technology, we offer comprehensive check-ups, diagnostics, prevention, and dental treatments. We ensure your child develops healthy teeth and a bright smile at every age.<\/p>\n The Pediatric Dental Center provides comprehensive care for pediatric oral health issues, including:<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> At what age should I bring my child for their first dental visit?<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> It is recommended to see a pediatric dentist when their first baby tooth erupts, or no later than 1 year of age, to assess oral health and receive early guidance on dental care.<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> Do decayed baby teeth really need treatment?<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Yes, they do. Baby teeth play a critical role in chewing, speaking, and holding space for permanent teeth. If left untreated, decay can cause pain, spread infections, and harm the development of permanent teeth underneath.<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> How often should my child get fluoride applications?<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Generally every 3 to 6 months, depending on the child’s cavity risk, which the pediatric dentist will evaluate individually.<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> What is the difference between fluoride application and dental sealants?<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Fluoride application is the coating of all tooth surfaces with fluoride to strengthen enamel and make it acid-resistant. A dental sealant, on the other hand, is a protective material applied to seal deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of molars, preventing food particles and bacteria from accumulating and causing decay.<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> What should I do if my child is afraid of the dentist?<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Try bringing your child for check-ups before they experience any toothache. This helps them build familiarity and a positive association with the dentist. Choosing a facility with pediatric dental specialists who use child-friendly behavioral techniques also makes a significant difference.<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> How many times a day should a child brush their teeth?<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> At least twice a day\u2014after breakfast and before bedtime\u2014using fluoride toothpaste in the appropriate amount for their age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We provide pediatric medical examinations and treatments by specialized pediatricians 24 hours a day.
