Why is pediatric dentistry becoming increasingly important?

Nowadays, in addition to education and nutrition, ensuring that children have healthy and beautiful teeth from the start will bring them numerous benefits as they grow up. The habit of oral care is extremely important. It helps children develop a confident smile, effective communication skills, and a bright future.

In Western countries, children begin visiting the dentist for check-ups from the start of the process of losing their primary teeth, typically between the ages of 3 and 15. Orthodontic treatment often starts as early as age 6 to ensure that their teeth are healthy, strong, and well-aligned from a young age.

Why pediatric dentistry is becoming increasingly important

Caring for children’s teeth does not incur significant costs. In many cases, the extraction of baby teeth may even be free of charge. Regular check-ups for children also do not cost much. The annual cost for pediatric dental care, if attended regularly, is typically no more than 600,000 VND. Regular dental check-ups significantly help children in becoming accustomed to oral care, resulting in a beautiful smile and confident communication. Moreover, it saves millions in future costs by preventing the need for extensive treatments such as cavity fillings or correction of misaligned teeth.
