Dental hygiene for a 3year old boy?
Children should visit the dentist early generally around ate 2 1/2 -3. Hopefully there is no work that needs to be done other than a cleaning, however, this visit and subsequent regular visits allow the child to become familiar with the office and equipment, permit the dental professionals to monitor the mouth and teeth as they erupt and allow for early referral to specialists should that be necessary. If you wait until the child has clearly visible cavities they have probably been suffering from toothache for ages. Also decay in primary teeth can (not necessarily will) affect the development of the adult teeth. Primary teeth can abcess if decay is left untreated.





We hear regularly about people who have had traumatic experiences in dental offices, one way to avoid this is to have children become comfortable in the environment before we have to actually do any major work.





Depending on the child some of those primary teeth may still be around until early teenage years and in some cases some adult teeth may be congenitally missing and we have to take heroic measures to keep the primary teeth in the mouth for many more years if not forever. Hence you can see it is important to keep those baby teeth clean and healthy.
Reply:milk teeth can still rot and a dentist can put some protective coating over the rotting tooth so it doesn't go any further. My nephew had foul teeth some rotted to the gum but his adult teeth could not be more perfect. Dentists do not remove rotting milk teeth anymore because they keep the space for the adult up and coming tooth. He needs you to brush his teeth properly at the very least once nightly and no snakcs after brushing, sleeping with food on your teeth is worse than anything for teeth.
Reply:Take him back to the dentist!
Reply:You should take him to a dentist because he needs his milk teeth until he is 7or 8 .He should also brush his teeth at least twice a day.Talk to your son,find the way to show him how important it is to have white and healthy teeth.The first visit to a dentist should be just talking and getting to know the atmosphere
Reply:Yes maybe for a cleaning
