Honest clinical answers from Dr. Ajay Kumar Yadav (MDS Pediatric Dentist) to help parents keep children smiling happily.
The global dental guideline is "First visit by first tooth or first birthday." An early consultation allows us to assess jaw growth, check for early white spots of enamel decay, and guide parents on proper brushing techniques before problems begin.
Primary (baby) teeth are critical guides for permanent teeth. If lost too early due to untreated cavities, neighbouring teeth shift into the space, causing severe crowding and impaction. Decayed baby teeth can also cause pain, infections, and damage developing permanent teeth underneath.
Fear of the dentist is normal for young children. As a pediatric specialist, Dr. Ajay utilizes child psychology ("Tell-Show-Do" technique) and comfortable Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) conscious sedation. It calms anxiety completely while keeping your child fully awake and relaxed.
Yes, but in age-appropriate quantities! For toddlers below 3 years, use a tiny smear (rice grain size). For children aged 3 to 6, a pea-sized amount is recommended. Fluoride strengthens enamel and prevents rapid-spreading cavities.
