Oral health in childhood is essential for a child\u2019s overall development. Contrary to what many may think, a healthy smile begins early, with the birth of the first tooth. <\/p>

It is funny to think that, in practice, parents and educators associate the phase of birth and tooth loss with something worthy of calling a tooth fairy to take charge of the process.<\/p>

Although any fairy brings a canister, and those of the teeth even present, the decision when is the first visit to the dentist, does not depend on any enchanted character, but only on their own parents.<\/strong><\/p>

Because it is extremely important, the Order of Dentists (OMD) recommends that this consultation take place after the eruption of the first tooth or at the latest, at the age of 12 months.<\/strong><\/p>

The explanation is simple, but we will detail in this article how early follow-up ensures that milk teeth are kept healthy, preventing future problems and also establishes a solid foundation for oral health of the child who will become an adult.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
