Frequently Asked Questions
A child should start seeing the dentist around the time their first tooth emerges or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. This early introduction helps children feel comfortable with visiting the dentist and helps identify any potential problems early.
The "Rule of 7" is a guideline in pediatric dentistry that suggests children should visit the dentist for the first time by age 7. This is the age when baby teeth of children start to fall out and the first permanent molars start to emerge. The rule highlights the importance of a timely dental checkup that ensures good oral health habits and prevents upcoming dental issues
Dentists treat the rotten teeth of children through various methods that depend on the severity of the decay. Through fluoride treatments, early decay can be managed and oral hygiene improved, but fillings are the most common solution for cavities. Severe decay may require crowns, root canals, or tooth extraction in some cases.
Cavities in children are not solely the fault of parents because tooth decay is caused by bacteria in the mouth that feed on sugar and starches, which cause enamel breakdown. Some factors, such as genetics, oral hygiene, and diet, increase the risk of cavities, but parents can control these through good oral hygiene practices.
Yes, decayed teeth can often be saved, especially if caught early. Depending on the severity of the decay, treatment options range from fluoride treatments and fillings to root canals and even dental implants.
Pediatric dentistry is a specialised branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children from childhood to adolescence. It includes the management of children's specialised dental care, dental health, or special needs.
No, dental implants are not usually recommended for children because their jaws are still developing. Generally, dental implants are considered when the jaw has completed growth, which typically occurs between the ages of 16 and 17 for girls and 18 and 21 for boys.
Yes, dental floss can be used for children, and doctors recommend starting flossing during the first two dental checkups, usually around age two or three. Although parents can help with flossing until about age 6 or 7, it is essential to address this early to prevent plaque and cavities between teeth.
When a tooth has severe damage or decay that cannot be repaired with treatments such as a filling, crown, or root canal, this can include situations where the tooth has broken down below the gum line, has extensive decay that has reached the pulp, or there is significant bone loss due to gum disease.
