Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry

My child is 12 months old and has not yet come out, what should I do?

There is nothing to worry about when your teeth come out late. The point to be known here is that differences can be seen during riding in situations where teeth are late (come out). This is not something you should worry about either.

What awaits me when my baby is teething?

Problems experienced during tooth eruption differ from baby to baby, and even from tooth to tooth in the same baby. Families often report fever, diarrhea, restlessness, and increased salivation during teething. The fever seen during tooth eruption never exceeds 39 degrees, and it should be investigated whether there is another disease in diarrhea seen for more than three days. The state of restlessness should last at most a week.

Can there be problems with your teeth during the tooth riding?

The most difficult period in tooth eruption is when the tooth is pierced. When you touch the tooth area that you expect to last during this period, you may see a slight increase in heat and whitening of the gums when you press. It is often possible to notice the cutting surfaces of the tooth with the finger.

What can be done to facilitate teething?

There are several methods that you can do to alleviate the problems during the eruption period: -Cold Application; Cold application is one of the easiest solutions. It is possible to do this application in several ways. The easiest is to massage your baby's painful area after washing your hands with ice-cold water for a long time. While doing this process, holding him in your arms as if you are breastfeeding will make him feel safer and relax. Putting foods such as breast milk and fruit puree in ice cream containers for children and allowing them to freeze them will also relieve the pain and inflammation in this area. -Teethers: There are many types of teethers and the choice of each child can be different. Teethers with water in them are very effective. I recommend putting them in the freezer for 5 minutes before giving them to your baby. -Tooth Gel or Tablets: There are a lot of products on the market about this. Some are in the form of medicine, some are called homeopathic (alternative medicine method). Most of the homoepathic ones contain chamomile. If they try these products and benefit, they can continue. -Mother Hug: A mother's hug increases tolerance to everything. Especially during these periods, spending more time with your baby and hugging him tightly will be good for both your baby and you.

When should children have their first dental examination?

When should children have their first dental examination?
