When should my baby's first dental examination be done?

Baby teeth ensure that permanent teeth erupt properly and at the right time. Baby teeth, which have an important place in terms of your child's health, are also very important for the child's psychology. Therefore, it is necessary to protect and treat baby teeth.

Tooth fractures in children are an important health problem seen between the ages of 1-10 and known as trauma. Tooth fractures in children are frequently seen between the ages of 7-10. The front incisors are the most damaged by this dental trauma. In cases requiring emergency intervention, a dentist should be consulted immediately.
