Milk teeth, which start to appear in the mouth from the 6th month of infancy, continue to stay in the mouth until the age of 12. These milk teeth, especially milk molars, are important in terms of caries prevention and timely treatment of caries, if any, due to the time they stay in the mouth. For this reason, the thought that it will change can sometimes delay the parents in treatment.
In addition, our first permanent molar tooth, our first molar tooth, begins to appear in the mouth at the age of 6. For this reason, it is important to give oral hygiene education at an early age and to form a habit.
Both preventive and curative treatments and, when necessary, placeholder applications are important for the young generations to have healthy teeth.
It will be a rational approach that should not be neglected to introduce our children to dentists at a young age, before any problems occur.
