You know when you should take your son To the dentist?

It is normal to have doubts, but waiting for pain or discomfort to appear implies that problem is already advanced.

The first visit to the child dentist is recommended during the first year of life, coinciding with the rash of the first teeth.

It is about preventing future problems, accompanying dental development and establishing healthy habits from the beginning.

Orthodontics of children specialized

Child orthodontics requires a specific approach and a deep knowledge of facial growth and development. Therefore, in Clinica Torres we have an orthodontist with training in odontopediatrics, which allows us to address each case from a global vision and adapted to the child’s age.

This specialized approach facilitates the early detection of changes in bite and bone development, allowing for interceptive and preventive treatments at the right time.

The aim is to correctly guide dental and maxillary growth, reducing the need for more complex treatments in adolescence or adult age. As a dental clinic specializing in child orthodontics in Vigo, we offer a personalized follow-up within the First Smile Program, accompanying families and caring for the health, function and well-being of the youngest from the beginning.

Frequently asked questions

When should a child first visit a paediatric dentist?

The first visit is recommended during the first year of life or when the first teeth begin to erupt. At Clínica Torres, a dental clinic specialising in paediatric dentistry, an early check-up makes it possible to assess dental development and guide families in prevention from the very beginning.

Why is it important to care for baby teeth if they are going to fall out?

Baby teeth are essential for chewing, speech and bite development. They also maintain the space needed for the permanent teeth, so caring for them directly influences the child’s future smile.

How can tooth decay in children be prevented?

Prevention is based on good daily oral hygiene, a balanced diet and regular check-ups at a dental clinic specialising in children. These visits make it possible to detect early signs before discomfort appears.

What habits can affect children’s dental development?

Habits such as prolonged dummy use, thumb sucking or mouth breathing can affect jaw growth and tooth position. Detecting these habits early makes it easier to correct them.

Is it normal for a child’s gums to bleed?

No. Bleeding gums usually indicate inflammation caused by bacterial plaque. With proper oral hygiene and paediatric dental follow-up, this problem can usually be resolved without difficulty.

When do permanent teeth start to erupt and what should be monitored?

The transition to permanent teeth usually begins at around the age of 6. It is important to make sure that the permanent teeth erupt in the correct position and that there is enough space for them, which can be assessed during regular check-ups.

Is conscious sedation with nitrous oxide safe for children?

Yes. Conscious sedation with nitrous oxide is a safe and widely used technique in paediatric dentistry. The child remains awake, relaxed and accompanied throughout the procedure, and the effects wear off quickly once treatment is complete.

When is conscious sedation recommended in paediatric dentistry?

It may be recommended for children who experience fear, anxiety or difficulty relaxing, or when the treatment may be stressful. The aim is to provide a calm and positive experience and help prevent a lasting fear of the dentist.

My child breathes through their mouth. Is that normal?

Frequent mouth breathing is not considered normal and may be related to nasal obstruction, jaw development problems, allergies or breathing habits. It can also influence facial development, so it is advisable to have the child assessed by a specialist paediatric dentist.

Is an orthodontic check-up necessary from an early age even if there is no pain?

Yes. Many dental and jaw growth problems do not cause pain in the early stages, and an early assessment can help prevent or simplify future treatments.
