The importance of dental care
From an early age, children should be taught to take care of their teeth and not be afraid of the dentist. It is very important to make preventive appointments every 6 months with the pediatric dentist and thus take care of their dental health from diseases or deformities that may develop during their development process.

Psychology during dental check-up
The first visit to the dentist is very important, since it is the first contact the child has with a person who checks and cures the mouth. In many cases, if the child is not taken to a pediatric dentist during his first years, stressful situations can arise that can complicate future visits to the dentist and affect his quality of life. It is very important that the child has a good experience in their first appointments, with the pediatric dentist can achieve this, as it has psychological specialization with children of all ages. Thus, the pediatric dentist will be able to calm the child in case of pain, discomfort or fear of dental instruments, and perform dental treatments at the same time.
