可能會有家長會納悶我聽完還是不知道我的小孩容不容易蛀牙,其實最簡單的方法,就是去找個兒童牙醫,讓他幫你評估就好了,畢竟每個小孩的狀況不一樣,讓牙醫親眼看到你的小孩,會是最準確的方法。
多大可以開始看醫師呢?一般建議長牙後到 1 歲前就可以去看第一次牙醫囉,塗不塗氟是其次,重點是跟醫生了解小孩口腔的狀況,以及哪些要特別注意的地方。
定期塗氟、定期看牙醫,還可以詢問醫師有關用含氟牙膏、氟錠的問題,這些都能幫助預防小孩蛀牙喔!
這個年紀的小孩如果有任何一顆蛀牙,就算是蛀牙高風險的小孩,建議給予牙齒最多的保護,讓小孩能笑得燦爛,有個美好的童年。
Parents can still be unsure whether their children are at risk of tooth decay. The easiest way to find out is to visit your pediatric dentist and have a professional assessment.
Every child is different. A face-to-face examination will be the most accurate way to find out.
How old should I take my child to a dentist? It's recommended to visit a dentist between the eruption of the first tooth to 1 year old. It's secondary to decide whether to receive a fluoride varnish or not. The main purpose is to find out how your child's oral development is and if there's any particular areas of notice.
Regular visit to the dentist, and receiving fluoride varnish, and getting advice on the use of fluoridated toothpaste and tablets, are ways to effective cavity prevention.
