Dental care for children
Here at Clinica Dental Idea we believe that all children deserve a great smile. We have a long experience with children of all ages and we are trained to handle the wide range of issues associated with children’s dental health.
The youngest can have a nice time in the play corner before it’s their turn to meet the dentist.
Dental health and brushing
Several studies and research have emphasised the importance of starting with good dental hygiene and oral care early in a child’s life. Early treatment prevents problems affecting a child’s health and well-being. When your child is still a baby and without teeth, it’s important to clean his/her gums after each feeding. Use a water-soaked soft cloth, this stimulates the gum tissue and removes food. The first tooth erupts between the ages of 6 to 12 months and now its time to start with brushing, twice a day. At age 2 or 3 you can start teaching your child proper brushing and flossing techniques. From ages 6 up to 8, they should be able to brush and floss without parental supervision.
First visit
We recommend that a child’s first dental visit be booked around the 1st birthday. It is very important to make the first visit as positive and enjoyable as possible. We want your child to get to know us and be comfortable at all times. Let your child know that we will explain everything in detail and will answer any questions he or she has.
