Compliance with all the rules of oral hygiene and the most careful control over how the child brushes his teeth still does not allow us to be sure that he managed to get rid of dental plaque. Therefore, every child needs professional teeth cleaning by a pediatric dentist.
Contrary to the popular belief that there is no need to take care of baby teeth, this is actually not the case, because problems even with baby teeth have a detrimental effect on the entire body.
Problems with milk teeth lead to diseases:
Most problems with the teeth begin with the formation of dental plaque, in which many bacteria are concentrated, which provoke the development of caries. Plaque, if not removed, mineralizes very quickly, turning into tartar, which cannot be removed from the teeth at home.
Taking into account the peculiarities of the children’s body, teeth brushing is indicated for children more often than for adults. If the latter is recommended to do a professional cleaning once every six months, then it is better to take children to the children’s dentist for teeth cleaning every 3-4 months.
Professional teeth cleaning is a completely safe and painless process, which is also useful because the child gets used to the fact that a visit to a children’s dentist is not associated with pain and discomfort.
Young children do not know how to brush their teeth properly and, even if they try very hard, they cannot remove all the plaque. It remains between the teeth, near the gums and in other hard-to-reach places, which provokes the development of caries and other diseases of the oral cavity. This problem can be solved by brushing the teeth at a children’s dentist.
Advantages of regular professional hygiene of milk teeth:
Children’s hygienic cleaning allows you to protect not only milk teeth, but also root ones. Firstly, the risk of developing caries, which spreads quickly in children and affects permanent teeth as well, is reduced. Secondly, it allows you to avoid problems with the bite due to the destruction and premature loss of milk teeth. Proper oral hygiene protects against many dental problems.
Professional teeth cleaning is performed only by a children’s dentist who perfectly knows the cleaning technique and knows how to find an approach to the child or calm him down in the unusual environment of the dental office.
The procedure is safe and non-traumatic, if necessary, to eliminate even the smallest possible discomfort, the child can apply a gel with an analgesic effect to the gums.
Very small children are cleaned with the help of special soft brushes. Older children are cleaned both manually and using the Air Flow device. After cleaning, teeth are polished and fluoridated.
Professional teeth cleaning is recommended for children on average once every six months. It allows you to eliminate the plaque that gradually forms on the teeth and is not removed by self-cleaning. This prevents the formation of caries and other dental diseases.
