Dental care schedule of Zhang Zengfang, Department of Pediatric Dentistry in the workshop: care cleaning from the eruption of the first milk teeth (6-12 months), including flossing to clean the interstices of the front teeth; after the eruption of the maxillary front teeth, consideration should be given to quit frequent night feedings (including breastfeeding and artificial bottle feeding) to prevent the occurrence of severe bottle caries; change the poor feeding habit of lying flat and holding the bottle to drink milk to prevent the anterior milk teeth recoil ( “Diastema”); visit the specialist pediatric dentist every three months for examination (early detection of demineralization); start fluoride application from 2 years old (prevention of smooth surface caries), the latest guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics in August 2014 recommend that the first milk tooth eruption can start fluoride application; can start using fluoride toothpaste to brush teeth, but should do a good job of dosage control (early recommendation Rice grain size, after the child learns to spit out the foam can be increased to soybean size); 2-3 years old to carry out the milk molar sulcus closure (to prevent sulcus caries, generally need to be treated under protective restraint); 3 years old to use dental floss to clean the back teeth gap (to prevent adjacent surface caries, 3-5 years old to start the high incidence of adjacent surface caries, the onset of hidden easy to miss, often found when already extremely close to the dental nerve); 6 years old first permanent molar sulcus closure (the most most important It is a national free project, but the national free arrangement is generally arranged in the second half of the second grade of elementary school contact the hospital nearby, but many children’s sixth-age teeth erupt early, it is recommended to come to the clinic for examination after eruption, if the sulcus is deep and poor oral hygiene should carry out sulcus closure as soon as possible at their own expense, rather than waiting for the free project); around the age of 10 years old, check the presence of the central cusp of premolar malformation (I do not know how many children are harmed) 12 years old, the first two premolar, second permanent molar fossa closure …… Dental care is a lifelong matter, childhood depends on parents to raise their children good habits, good awareness of dental care, regular checkups are very important!
