CHILDREN’S PROPHYLAXIS
Why prophylaxis for children at all ?
Children’s teeth are exposed to many dangers – increasing hidden by sweetening drinks and food attack the enamel and can quickly lead to damage. The juvenile tooth enamel is not yet resistant enough to ward off “carius and baktus”.
And of course, children’s brushing habits are nowhere near as meticulous as those of adults. In addition, it is important to know that most damage to adult teeth originates in childhood and adolescence – which is why it is extremely important to survive this critical dental phase of life unscathed.
Prophylaxis also plays a major role if your child is undergoing orthodontic treatment. Especially here, top hygiene is of utmost importance so that the beautifully aligned teeth do not become ill right away.

FAQs
Your child should see the dentist around the time the first tooth erupts or when he or she is 1 year old. A child’s first dental cleaning is usually recommended when most of the baby teeth have erupted, between 12 and 36 months.
