We adults know when we should go to the dentist. But the doubt arises when we ask ourselves When should we take children to see a specialist. 

Many patients are unaware of the existence of pediatric dentist, a professional in children's oral health. The specialist is in charge of offering preventive care to children from when they are babies until they reach adulthood.

When to take your child to the dentist:

It is important to keep track of children's oral health. At birth, it is recommended to take the baby to the pediatric dentist to check the gums and explain to new parents how to keep the baby's gums clean and healthy. At 1 year of age, an appointment with the dentist is usually made to check if there may be any malformation in the jaw. From then on, it is recommended to take the child once a year, until they are five years old, then they would begin to be taken every six months.

At five years old, children begin to lose their primary teeth, so it is very important to keep track. Thus, dental diseases will be avoided; like cavities.

Many children suffer dental trauma due to a blow or accident, in that case, you would have to go to the dentist urgently, to prevent it from affecting the formation of permanent teeth.

Children's dentist treatments:

In children, what tends to worry most are cavities, since they tend to consume more sugary products and when they start brushing their teeth, they usually do not do it properly or do not dedicate the time they should.

The treatments that are most recommended to avoid cavities are:

• fluoride application; This at the same time strengthens the enamel
• Sealants: They are thin covers that act as a barrier against cavities once applied to the teeth.

Another of the problems that tends to worry the most are the anomalies that arise in bone development.

If the dentist detects a malformation in the permanent teeth during the check-ups, he will recommend applying orthodontics.

At Dental Corbella we apply the following treatments in children:

• Removable appliances: These are aimed at the proper development of the bone in the child's jaws.
• brackets: They are placed when there is crowding or to make space so that tooth replacement is optimal.
• Invisible orthodontics: from the age of 12, when children already have all their permanent teeth, we can offer this more aesthetic treatment.

As we have seen, it is very important to take your child to the dentist from a young age. We offer the best service from the beginning of the development of your child's teeth. Contact us and we will help you so that your child grows up with correct oral health.
