Oral and Dental Health in Infants
What is Oral and Dental Health in Infants?
After the first milk tooth appears in babies, oral hygiene should be started between approximately 6 months and 1 year of age. In addition, if there is delayed tooth eruption, the paediatric dentist takes precautions in this regard and periodically monitors the child. The most important reason for this is poor eating habits. Parents are warned about this issue and given the necessary advice to protect their child from harm in the long term. They are informed about the early diagnosis and treatment of possible cavities and the importance of taking their children to the dentist twice a year for check-ups. At the same time, tooth decay in children is also caused by bacteria transmitted from mother to child. For this reason, parents are warned about this issue and advised on how to use feeding bottles and spoons, and on precautions such as the disadvantages of kissing the child, especially around the mouth.

Bottle Tooth Decay in Children
What is Bottle Tooth Decay in Children?
Breastfeeding babies for long periods at night causes early tooth decay in children. This is because the lactose in breast milk has decay-causing properties. For this reason, babies should sleep for a long time after their last feed. This condition, known as bottle tooth decay, is caused by feeding the child with a bottle at night, between feedings, and feeding the child with sugar-rich liquids when their first teeth appear. One of the basic conditions for preventing bottle tooth decay is to give the bottle for no longer than 13 months and to use the bottle before putting the child to sleep. It is very important for children to develop the habit of brushing their teeth.

What are Dental Caries Restorations in Children?
Cavities that form in children's teeth, especially their milk teeth, are treated based on the depth of the tooth and the cavity. However, the teeth are restored with filling materials. Restoration treatments are often performed in children without extracting the teeth.
Protective Measures to Prevent Tooth Decay in Children
Tooth decay is a very common condition, particularly among children. Tooth decay is present in 90 per cent of children between the ages of 7 and 11. Such a high rate indicates that children will experience serious oral and dental health problems in the future. In such cases, dentists apply topical fluoride treatment to children, thereby preventing tooth decay that they may experience in the long term at an early stage.

Dental Traumas
Dental Traumas
One of the most significant problems caused by frequent falls in children is trauma. It is crucial to see a dentist immediately after a trauma occurs and begin treatment. Otherwise, the tooth will gradually lose its vitality and tissue loss will occur. In this case, a dentist will be consulted to restore the tooth's former functions. If the tooth is fractured or broken as a result of trauma, it should be rinsed with saline solution before going to the dentist. In such cases, dentists will reattach the broken piece to the tooth, performing a restoration.
