 When to go to the pediatric dentist?

In case we do not observe anything relevant in the teeth of our children, it is advisable that the 1st visit to the pediatric dentist is from 4 years of age. The specialist will evaluate their brushing and make a visual check for possible future problems. At six years of age, facial growth and the fitting of the first molars and teeth are supervised.

Depending on the child's dental health, regular visits to the children's dentist are made every six months or once a year, depending on the child's dental health.
