Primary teeth also called baby teeth or temporary teeth, these are the first teeth that appear in children. They begin to emerge around 6 months of age and are usually all present by the age of 3. These teeth play a crucial role in a child’s development — not only for eating and speaking but also by serving as guides for the permanent teeth that will come in later.
Clean your child’s teeth as soon as they appear, using a soft toothbrush and water, and then introduce an age-appropriate toothpaste.
Limiting the consumption of sweets and avoiding letting your child fall asleep with a bottle or a sweetened pacifier helps prevent cavities.
Visit the dentist regularly starting from your child’s first birthday to ensure healthy dental development and to detect any potential issues early.
We will be happy to assist you in this regard. No one is too old or too young to get an orthodontic evaluation. Our patients range in age from 0 to 99 years old.
Children generally lose all their primary teeth by the age of 12. However, sometimes a filling is unavoidable before the tooth falls out on its own, especially in the case of a broken or infected tooth. In addition to damaging your child’s oral health, a damaged tooth can have a negative impact on his or her self-esteem.

Tooth decay is an infectious disease that develops in the tooth, damaging its structure. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth extraction.
In the early stages of decay, many patients experience no pain for several weeks or months. The first symptoms usually appear when decay has progressed and the tooth is seriously affected. That’s why regular visits to the dentist are so important!
Once this stage has been reached, a strange taste in the mouth may be felt, accompanied by pain in the decayed tooth. In any case, a cavity should always be treated as soon as it is detected.
To avoid tooth decay, regular brushing and daily flossing are essential. Limiting consumption of sugary and/or acidic foods is also an excellent way of reducing the onset of tooth decay. For more information on foods and dental hygiene techniques, please ask our staff.
