As strange, as it may be to you, but your child’s first appointment with a Paediatric dentist in Dubai should be when they are six months old, before the first eruption of baby teeth. Infants are more susceptible to tooth decay due to high milk consumption. All milk, including breast milk contains sugar; sugar activates bacteria found in the mouth, which produces the acid that cause tooth decay. As infants are not able to brush or wash mouth, cavities are imminent. It is very important to have your infant and young children see a dentist regularly to avoid future complications. Infants require proper dental hygiene too ensure a cavity free mouth.

Paediatric dentists maintain good oral hygiene, diagnose, and prevent future problems during adulthood.

Parents sometimes have the notion that primary teeth are temporary and therefore not important. However, making sure your child’s primary teeth (milk teeth) are well looked after, determines the healthy growth of secondary teeth. Problems with primary teeth, sometimes leads to problems with adult teeth. Infections of a primary tooth can be transferred to adult teeth, which lie beneath. Children carry both sets of teeth when they are born. They are born with tiny buds for both dentitions, (primary teeth sitting over adult teeth), and therefore, regular dental checkups are necessary to:

• Check if the primary teeth are growing well
• Ensure no cavities are present in the primary teeth
• Check available space for secondary teeth
• Make sure secondary teeth are growing in the correct direction and pace
