When should the first visit to the dentist take place?
. . . .
The purpose of Pediatric Dentistry in Jalón treatments is to prevent children from experiencing more serious issues in adulthood by developing healthy habits.
The first dental visit should occur by the child’s first birthday. During this visit, the dentist will review the growth of the jaw and mandible, ensure proper tooth eruption, and check for conditions such as cavities.
The age range of 0 to 3 years is considered preventive. If no issues are found, an annual visit is recommended. However, starting from age 5, during the period of tooth replacement, it is advisable to have a check-up every 6 months.
Eruption of Baby Teeth
Baby teeth usually begin to appear around the sixth month of life and form the first set of milk teeth, which is generally complete by approximately two and a half years of age.
Most Common Childhood Dental Diseases
-
Dental Caries. Caries is the most common chronic disease in childhood, with high prevalence among preschoolers. This infectious condition is caused by high sugar consumption. It has serious implications for the child's health, including intense pain, facial infections, and emergency visits.

Dental Trauma. Hits and accidents are very common among children and adolescents and are one of the most unpleasant experiences for both the child and their parents. There are different types of dental injuries, some of which could affect the development of permanent teeth. The most advisable procedure is to visit the dentist immediately so they can examine the patient and apply the most appropriate treatment.
