Pediatric Dentistry: The Key to Prevention and Children's Oral Care

What is Preventive Pediatric Dentistry?

Preventive pediatric dentistry goes beyond conventional care, establishing a proactive approach from a child’s first year of life. Early visits to the pediatric dentist help create a “dental home,” where healthy habits are developed and problems like cavities are prevented from an early age.

The Importance of Dentistry for Infants

The first dental consultation should occur before the baby turns one year old. This initial meeting is crucial for:
  • Evaluar el riesgo de caries.
  • Orientar a los padres sobre la salud bucal del bebé.
  • Diseñar un programa preventivo personalizado.
  • Determinar la necesidad de flúor tópico.

This approach fosters an ongoing, trusting relationship between the family and pediatric dentist, ensuring the child’s oral health is monitored from the very beginning.

Baby Dental Program: A Revolution in Prevention

Prevention from 6 Months

The Baby Dental Program redefines pediatric dentistry. While in the past dental visits were recommended at three years old or only when pain occurred, today we work from six months to:
  • Prevent cavities from the start.
  • Teach parents essential dental care concepts.
  • Create generations free from dental fear.

Friendly and Fun Experience

At Dental Lesseps, we offer a friendly environment where children learn through play to care for their smiles. Our goal is to prevent problems before they occur, providing positive and magical experiences that eliminate dental fear.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry

Children easily adapt to these visits, associating them with positive and pleasant experiences. Modern pediatric dentistry is characterized by being:
  • Friendly: Visits are quick and pain-free.
  • Accessible: Preventive treatments are affordable.
  • Effective: Promotes healthy habits from an early age.

Infant Dentistry: A Comprehensive Approach

A Bit of History

The concept of infant dentistry was born over 20 years ago in Brazil, thanks to Dr. Luis Walter Figuereido and his 'Baby Clinic'. This project demonstrated that early prevention combined with parent education can achieve cavity-free generations.

International Recommendations

Global pediatric dentistry associations recommend the first dental visit before the first birthday. During this consultation:
  • Risk factors like feeding, habits, genetics, and antibiotic use are assessed.
  • Parents receive information and preventive treatment to avoid cavities.

Education and Prevention Are Essential

At Dental Lesseps, we believe every child deserves a lifelong healthy smile. Educating parents and preventing dental issues from the start are our key tools to achieve this. Don't wait to start your child's oral care. We look forward to welcoming you soon at Dental Lesseps, where magic and prevention unite to care for the smallest smiles!
