CHILDREN'S TEETH
Children's first (milk) teeth are important
because, apart from being needed for chewing and
speaking, they help to maintain space for the
permanent teeth, developing under neath them in
the jaws. If the milk teeth are well looked
after, then it is more likely that the second
(permanent) teeth will grow into their correct
position. Did you know that babies in utero have
about 20 teeth already developing?
Children's teeth begin forming before birth. As
early as 4 but usually at 6-7 months, the first
milk teeth to erupt are the lower central
incisors, followed closely by the upper central
incisors. Although 20 milk teeth usually appear
by age 3, the pace and order of their eruption
varies . The first permanent tooth is usually
one of the four six-year-molars -O named because
they appear around age 6. Molars are important
because they help shape the lower part of the
child's face as well as affect the position of
the other permanent teeth. A word of
caution The 6 year permanent molars are often
mistaken as milk teeth neglected.

Permanent second molars usually appear around age
12. At that time, your child will have a complete
set of teeth except for the wisdom teeth or third
molars which usually appear between age 17 and
25. Special attention should be paid to your
child's teeth during the teen years, as it is
during these years that most decay occurs.

When should I take my child to see the dentist?
Ideally, your child's first dental visit should
be by the first birthday. Your Dentist will check
for decay and other problems, teach you how to
clean your child's teeth and identify your
child's fluoride needs. By starting dental visits
early, you'll help your child build a lifetime of
good dental habits. Is teething painful? Yes.
When babies are teething they often have sore and
tender gums. The pain usually can be soothed by
gendy rubbing the baby's gems with a clean
finger, a small, cool spoon or a wet puse.
Teething does not cause fever or diarrhea. If
your child has an elevated temperature. it needs
to be addressed as a separate medical concern .

Can babies get cavities
Yes Even though they will eventually fall out,
milk teeth cavities and can get need to be
treated. As soon as teeth appear in the south
decay can occur. One serious forms of decay among
young children is Baby Bottle Tooth Decay. Babies
shouldn't fall asleep with bottles in their
mouths- the sugar in juices or milk formulas can
cause tooth decay, leading to cavities dental
discomfort and even tooth loss Plain water is
usually best.

When should thumb sucking atop?
Sucking is a natural behaviour for babies. Many
infants begin sucking their thumbs or using
pacifiers within three months of birth. Neither
habit generally poesia dental problem if it is
discontinued before the child's first permo bent
teeth erupt.

How can the Dentist protect your child's teeth ?
As a child's permanent teeth corrupt. The Dentist
can prevent cavities from forming with the help
of sealants and Fluoride treatment. Sealants are
a safe, painless and low cost way to help Depecky
grooves and fissure protect your child's can be
sealed with sealants to teeth from decay, The
sealant is bonded to the chewing surface of the
molars and premolars, and thus prevents these
teeth from decay. Fluoride application is a

months to make the tooth structure stronger and
prevent cavities.

What are space maintainers?
A milk tooth usually stays in until a permanent
tooth underneath pushes it out and takes its
place Unfortunately, some children lose a milk
tooth too soon. If this happens, the teeth bisect
may move into the empty space resulting in lack
of space for the permanent teeth, leading to
crowding. This can be prevented by the use of
Space Maintainers. It is more! affordable - and
easier on your child to keep teeth in normal
position with a space maintainer than to move
them back in place with orthodontic treatment.
