The first regular dental visit should be just after your child’s 1st birthday. We will gently examine your child’s teeth and gums.
During your child’s first visit dentist will:-
1)Examine the child’s mouth, teeth, and gums
2)Evaluate adverse habits like thumb sucking, nail or lip biting, etc
3)Check to see if the child needs fluoride therapy
4)Teach you about cleaning your child’s teeth and gums

What about preventive care?
At Dr Nawale’s DentoCare, we are most concerned with all aspects of preventive care. We use the latest ‘Sealant’ technology to protect your child's teeth. Sealants are tooth-colored materials that are bonded to the chewing surfaces of decay-prone back teeth. This is just one of the ways we will set the foundation for your child’s lifetime of good oral health.
Tips for cavity prevention:-
1) Limit the frequency of meals and snacks.
2) Encourage brushing, flossing, and rinsing.
3) Avoid sticky foods.
4) Eat nutritious snacks.
Baby teeth are important as they not only hold space for permanent teeth but they are important to chewing, biting, speech and appearance. For this reason, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and good oral hygiene.
Parents often have questions about:-
1) How to take care of their children’s teeth?
2) When should we start child brushing?
3) What kind of toothpaste is best?
4) When should Child go to the dentist?
Knowing the answers to these questions can help you keep your kid's teeth healthy and cavity-free. For children below 2 years used non-fluoridated toothpaste and gum cleanser, until they are knowing to spit. Avoid nighttime bottles or cups of formula or juice. In addition to teaching your children the importance of regular brushing
and flossing, routine visits to the dentist and a healthy diet is a must. Set a good example by also practicing good dental
hygiene.
