Dental cheekup for children By Dr.jyoti joyanta The first dental visit is an important milestone in the childís life and a timely visit should be an essential part of the childís general health care. The age of the first dental visit of the child helps in determining the quality of the preventive dental care that the child will receive and, thus, the future oral health of the child. Several studies have recommended early dental visits for children, suggesting that it should ideally be before completion of 12 months of age. An early dental visit, before completion of 12 months of age, will help the dentist to detect early lesions; evaluate craniofacial and dental development; provide anticipatory guidance, parent counseling, and diet counseling; and motivate parents towards prevention- oriented interventions. Early childhood caries (ECC) is the most common dental problem encountered in children. At this early dental visit, white spot lesions can be detected and parents can be trained to perform active preventive measures which can help avoid severe lesions later in life. The child is exposed to the environment of the dental clinic at an early age and this will help the child to adapt to, and cooperate with, dental treatment in the future.
