Paediatric dentistry

Primary teeth, commonly known as baby teeth, are essential for the proper development of the mouth and deserve the same care as permanent teeth.

To reduce the risk of tooth decay, it is important to:

• avoid dipping dummies in honey or sugar;
• not put a child to sleep with a bottle containing milk, sweetened drinks or fruit juice;
• begin proper oral hygiene from the very start.

These simple measures help prevent early childhood caries, one of the most common conditions affecting young children.
