What is Children's Preventive Dentistry

Children's Preventive Dentistry is dental health care that begins with the dentition of the first milk teeth, with the first visit to the pediatric dentist and learning oral hygiene habits during childhood.

Children's preventive dentistry aims to diagnose oral diseases early, contribute to proper oral health and promote the development of the health of the youngest patients so that they enjoy good health in general.

It is a branch of children's dentistry that is key to the development of children in multiple aspects.

Oral health and its care have an impact on:
  • Proper chewing and nutrition: healthy and growing teeth help to obtain all the nutrients provided by ingested food.
  • Speech and phonetics: taking care of maxillofacial development and detecting occlusion problems early helps children learn to speak faster.
  • The general health of the little ones.
  • The emotional development of children, related to dental aesthetics and a good self-esteem derived from it.
  • The family economy, thanks to prevention and less invasive and therefore cheaper treatments.
Most common dental problems in children

Among the most frequent problems in children we identify the appearance of dental caries, the different pathologies of dental and maxillary alignment that require orthodontic treatment, gum diseases and other pathologies associated with poor oral hygiene.

We recommend the following post from our Blog on how to prevent cavities in babies and children.
The general recommendation is that you make the first visit to the pediatric dentist with the eruption of the first milk teeth.

The early visit has many objectives and benefits for your children:
First of all, it helps to learn how to brush the teeth and that the father and the mother learn to brush and teach the child how to carry out this important daily task.
Secondly, going to the visit to carry out these preventive controls helps the little ones not to acquire fear or phobia of going to the dentist. For example, it is very important that the first visits are for control and not because there is pain, which children usually associate with a bad experience.
In the dental clinic, the pediatric dentist, in addition to teaching the correct method of brushing, will teach children how to use dental floss.
Among other preventive measures that help take care of your children's dental health and the development of a healthy smile is following a balanced diet, avoiding foods with excess sugars that damage teeth.
The pediatric dentist will also be the one to indicate, when necessary, the use of fluoride to complement oral hygiene.
