Reading time: 2 minutes. As soon as your child has its first teeth, you should not only make sure that you take good care of your new teeth, but also look around for a good dentist for children. Find out when your child needs their first visit to the dentist in this article.

When to go to the dentist with your child for the first time

Early visits to the dentist are a must if you want to keep your child’s teeth and gums healthy. The child also gets used to the atmosphere in the dentist’s office and learns to build trust in the dentist.

The first visit to the dentist

Ideally, you can schedule your first dentist visit to a pediatric dentist (or a dentist who handles children well) sometime between your first or second birthday. If your child spends a lot of time with a bottle of mouth during the day or at night, you should go to the dentist earlier because the risk of caries is very high. Most health insurance companies pay for a dental screening from the age of 30 months. Up to the age of 6, your child is entitled to three screening tests every 12 months.

The child at the dentist: How to prepare your child for the first visit to the dentist

For healthy teeth, it is important that even small children get used to visiting the dentist at an early age. You should get a positive impression of your visit to the dentist right from the start and learn that regular checks are a matter of course that you shouldn’t be afraid of.

1. Preparation

You can prepare your child for a visit to the dentist with an informative discussion.

In preparation for your first appointment, it can help to deal with the dentist beforehand, for example with a picture book or by telling stories. You can also take your child with you on your own care appointment. As long as you are not due for treatment, this can be a good opportunity to get to know the dentist as something completely normal. As a rule, dentists are also prepared to show children their practice, the various devices or the dental chair that can be used to drive up and down. This way you can get to know the unfamiliar surroundings in a playful way. You can use your child’s curiosity and you may find that your child also finds the many different devices very exciting.

Caries in children

Underestimated danger: Caries infestation in children’s teeth

In children, tooth decay is possible from the first tooth and is not harmless. The sweet milk teeth form the basis for the later permanent teeth. If tooth decay has occurred in the deciduous teeth, treatment is therefore also recommended for small children.

How caries can destroy baby teeth in children

Caries in children arises from acids formed by mutans streptococci, that attack the softer enamel of milk teeth. Caries destroys baby teeth particularly quickly. In the beginning, a caries spot is possible through regular oral hygiene with fluoride-containing toothpastes suitable for children and avoiding further harmful influences. Saliva can also have a caries-inhibiting and remineralizing effect. However, if countermeasures are not taken with the appropriate measures, the tooth decay spreads further in the deciduous teeth and can lead to tooth loss and gum disease.

Happy Birthday, baby! Tips for the first children’s birthday

First birthday – a feast for babies and families

It’s never too late to celebrate – and not too early either. If you should think that an infant at twelve months does not even notice that this day is his special day, you have been wrong. Even the little ones are happy when they take center stage – and they can feel it very well. You do not have to do any great effort. On the contrary: less is more there too. Rather, it is the lovely little things that make the day a festive day, for the baby and for you. The concept of “children’s birthday” is still far too abstract for a child of twelve months. So he doesn’t care what is celebrated. But of course it notices that there is a party and is happy about the special atmosphere on this day.
