Well, the appropriate age to take your child to the pediatrician is around one year old, when the child already has their first teeth. This will help: the family acquire proper hygiene habits, allow for monitoring of the baby&#039;s oral functions and craniofacial development, and most importantly, establish trust between the professional, the parents, and the patient. The pediatric dentist will perform the following <strong>guidelines<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Tooth decay prevention<\/strong>, Tooth decay can progress rapidly in young children, causing pain, infection, and impairing nutrition and quality of life. It can often lead to the need for endodontic treatment and even tooth extractions. In its early stages, tooth decay appears as a demineralized area on the tooth, a white spot. With early diagnosis, it is possible to halt its progression and prevent further damage.<\/li>\n \t<li>Guidance on the introduction of <strong>sugar in the child&#039;s diet<\/strong> to minimize the risk of early childhood caries, as well as the importance of oral hygiene habits, which should begin with the use of a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride.<\/li>\n \t<li>The <strong>sucking habits and tooth eruption<\/strong>.<\/li>\n \t<li>The <strong>chewing and nasal breathing <\/strong>These are important factors for the growth and development of a child&#039;s face. The pediatric dentist will evaluate these, as some changes in dental occlusion can be corrected at an early age to allow for balanced chewing and proper growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOral health is related to overall health and quality of life, which is why children should be taken to a pediatric dentist from the first months of life.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo se debo llevar a mi hijo a la primera visita al odontopediatra?<\/strong>, muchos padres tienen dudas acerca de este tema, o bien eso le genera una ansiedad por experiencias negativas que han sufrido ellos o por desconocimiento.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-odontopediatria"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo llevar a mi hijo al odontopediatra? &#8212; MIDSA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo llevar a tu hijo al odontopediatra por primera vez?
