Paediatric dentistry

International guidelines recommend a first dental visit by the child’s first birthday or when the first tooth appears. The purpose of this visit is prevention, not treatment.

It is an opportunity for discussion with parents, providing personalised guidance on oral hygiene, fluoride use, healthy eating habits and the management of behaviours that may affect the development of the mouth.

For the child, it is an opportunity to become familiar with the practice in a calm and playful way, creating a positive experience that reduces the risk of developing a fear of the dentist.
