Pediatric Dentistry at clinics and hospitals worldwide

Pediatric Dentistry Abroad

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child first sees a dentist within 6 months of their first tooth appearing or by their first birthday. It is important that a dentist examine the child to ensure that their jaw develops correctly, that all the teeth are present, in place, and will erupt correctly. Pediatric dentists help patients to correct bad habits, and to educate the parents on the proper care of their child's teeth. Dentists are also able to detect many other health problems far ahead of time such as diabetes, oral cancer, some heart conditions, and other concerns. Pediatric dentists can also develop oral hygiene programs that meet the child's specific needs. Some parents believe that since their child's "baby teeth" will fall out and be replaced, that they aren't important. However, not only does a child need these teeth to eat properly, but they play a crucial role in maintaining a pathway for the adult teeth to erupt later on. Also, proper oral development is important for the child to learn how to speak and chew properly. Even if it is only a preventative visit, if a child regularly visits the dentist growing up, they are likely to take better care of their teeth as an adult.
