Baby Teeth Really Deserves A Dentist

For a healthy bright smile, it is recommended to visit a dentist every 6 months. However, very few people know that the visit to a dentist should start as soon as the first tooth starts erupting in the mouth. It is a common notion that the first erupting teeth also called as milk, deciduous or primary teeth are temporary and would ultimately be replaced by permanent teeth, so why spend on preserving them? However, the truth is that the milk teeth lay a foundation for the permanent teeth.

So, if primary teeth are healthy and cavity free, they will play an important role in guiding the proper eruption of permanent tooth. Premature loss of primary teeth is often associated with coming out of permanent teeth at improper locations.

Today due to the change in the dietary patterns and habits, children get affected with dental cavities at a very young age. While consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables helps keep teeth clean and stimulate the growth, the consumption of sweet, sticky and refined diet is associated with a very high dental caries rate.

It is very important that mothers-to-be and parents of young children be taught the importance of diet and oral hygiene since they are the ones who have to teach and observe the oral health of the child on a daily basis at home.

We at Dr. Garg’s Multispeciality Dental Centre in Rajouri Garden (west Delhi) pay a lot of attention in reinforcing oral hygiene habits in children. Our dental education brochures and presentations help build a lasting impression in the minds of children and parents about the importance of oral care. They feel proud in associating with us and call us as the “best dentist in Delhi”.
