Dental knowledge: paediatric dentistry

Paediatric dentistry — prevention

Prevention-focused care begins with dental advice during pregnancy. That advice covers healthy nutrition for the baby and small child, how to handle sweets, tips on oral hygiene and how to avoid passing on bacteria. Check-ups are worthwhile for children too: they help to prevent later damage and serious illness. Anyone who learns proper dental care as a child has a good chance of enjoying healthy teeth as an adult.

Thorough dental care and regular preventive appointments should become a habit from the earliest years. Modern dentistry treats its youngest patients with a great deal of sensitivity.
