PEDIATRIC DENTIST – TARGA DENTAL CLINIC

In general, parents often do not know when to take their child to the dentist. The Targa Dental Clinic recommends that your child’s first visit take place when the first tooth erupts in the mouth, at the latest between one and two years old.

What is a pediatric dentist?

Pediatric dentists are dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence. They have the experience and skills to take care of a child’s teeth, gums and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood.

Without proper dental care, children face possible dental problems and diseases that can cause pain and complications.

What types of dental treatments for children?

  • Oral health exams
  • Preventive dental care, including cleaning and scaling
  • Orthodontics
  • Caries care
  • Management of gum disease and conditions
  • Dental injury care.

How to prepare your child for a dental exam?

  • Plan your child’s visit carefully.
  • Be positive. Avoid using words like “pain” or “injury”. Instead, talk to him about the benefits he will receive, the friendliness of the dentist and staff, and the special tools the dentist will use to allay his fears. Do not mention any negative dental experience you may have had.
  • Listen to your child. Encourage her to share her concerns with you about the dental visit or exam.

First visit – Child dentist

This first visit will consist of introducing your child to the dentist, allowing him to explore the different tools and the dental environment. Only after your child is comfortable is it time for the dentist to take a quick look at their mouth to identify if any dental problems exist.

This visit will allow your child on the one hand to familiarize themselves with the staff and the dental environment and on the other hand, will allow the dentist to do a quick examination of your child’s mouth in order to check the gums, jaw and biting or other problems that can affect the teeth. The dentist will also recommend oral hygiene and allow you to ask all your questions.
