Pediatric dentistry in Türkiye
What is pediatric dentistry?
It is the branch of science that deals with the protection of the deciduous and permanent teeth of children between the ages of 0-16 years, dealing with possible problems of caries, hereditary dental problems, etc. The dentist monitors the children’s teeth and intervenes in the growth of the mouth, teeth and jaw if necessary until the children complete their growth period.
Parents are expected to take care of their children’s teeth because they cannot take care of their own teeth until they are nine years old. Oral care for children is different from that for adults. Because children’s teeth are very sensitive, they should not brush their teeth until a certain age.
After the child’s milk teeth begin to come out, they must be brushed, that is, the child must start using the brush after the age of six. The important thing is that after the child completes the first year of life, a pediatric dentist should be consulted and examined. If the child has used a pacifier or a bottle of milk for a long time, the child should be examined for bottle rot.
What is bottle rot?
Bottle rot or bottle caries is a type of tooth decay that occurs in babies who continue to use nipples or formula bottles after they are a year old. The reason is that the baby continues to use the bottle after the front teeth come out.
The deciduous teeth serve as a substitute for the permanent teeth. It is important not to forget that the baby’s teeth and jaw structure may be damaged by the extraction of milk teeth. But the structure of the teeth in children can be preserved even after the milk teeth fall out, and this can be done by reviewing the pediatric dentist.
