Regular dental checkups
Regular visits to the dentist for check-ups are an important part of protecting your child's dental health. Generally speaking, you should take your child to the dentist on their first birthday or after their first tooth appears (whichever comes first). During the first visit, the dentist will examine your child's teeth and gums, teach them how to brush properly, and answer any questions you may have about oral health. From now on, by visiting every six months, the dentist can continue to monitor the child's tooth development, detect problems in time, and may also perform some preventive treatments, such as fluoride application, tooth sealing, etc., to prevent tooth decay. Therefore, don’t forget to take your children to the dentist regularly so that they can have healthy teeth and develop a correct attitude towards oral health care.
