The recommended age for the first dental visit seems to vary among and within the professions. Unfortunately, the first visit often is prompted by clinical caries or dental trauma. The purpose of this paper is to provide guidelines for examining the toddler and information to be offered to parents during the consultation. Early identification and intervention for children with high caries risk, education of other health professionals and parents with preventive strategies, and the establishment of a relationship with a dentist prior to a traumatic injury should be mutual goals.
首次看牙的推荐年龄在不同专业之间以及同一专业内部似乎存在差异。不幸的是,首次就诊往往是由临床龋齿或牙外伤引发的。本文旨在提供检查幼儿的指导方针以及在咨询期间向家长提供的信息。对高龋齿风险儿童进行早期识别和干预、对其他健康专业人员和家长进行预防策略教育,以及在发生创伤性损伤之前与牙医建立关系,应该是共同目标。
