That Path: Their First Dental Check Up

Their First Dental Check Up

Today, we went to see a dentist to do a dental check up for the kiddos, finally.. Hehe

We went to Smileworks Dental Clinic at Oasis Ara Damansara.. Only 5minutes from home.. The clinic is decorated with modern concept and it's so cozy.. Also got play area for kids and comfy sofa set in the waiting area.. And tv of course hehe.. I totally recommend this clinic.. And the best thing is that the bill is only RM20 for both! RM10 each, well it was only consultation but still! Very affordable :)

The dentist is Dr Ikhwan and he's very gentle in handling the kids.. Azim didnt hesitate at all which is a very good sign.. Honestly, i was quite amazed by his cooperation.. I'm very proud.. Tips for toddler: you may want to tell Your kids to cooperate with the dentist like if dr wanna see ur teeth, u show him like this aaaaa.. Kinda thing haha.. And i was constantly praising and cheering for him like goodd boy.. Azim, show ur teeth! Open ur mouth..

Dr Ikhwan taught him how to brush his teeth just to warm things up.. To eliminate fear, that is.. And he also ask azim to touch and feel the things that dentist use to clean the teeth.. That thing that makes noise haha.. And he tried it on his nails! Haha.. Ad when doctor tried it on his teeth, he was ok.. Hehe.. Alhamdulillah, his teeth is all in good conditions. And the doc mentioned that there are small spaces in between his teeth. He said this is actually good as later when the permanent teeth come out, the teeth Will come out nicely, tak berhimpit2 la..

It was the opposite with Muiz tho :p this baby of mine kept shutting his mouth and kept turning around to escape.. Haha.. Pandaiiii!

He was sleepy actually and he fell asleep after a while, which made it easier for the dentist to see his teeth..

I'm not sure i've blogged about this but i've tweeted that Muiz's teeth are somewhat chirped.. And i didnt Know why.. So, after had a look at it, Dr ikhwan said that it was due to hypo mineralized enamel.. I've yet to google about this.. Will do it tonite..

Doc said he will order tooth mousse to prevent further bacteria growth as now the dentin of the teeth are exposed.. Nothing much can be done at this stage coz Muiz is still small.. He wont be cooperating if we want to repair the enamel.. And GA is not advisable as it will be too traumatizing.. Since it's not that serious, we will just take extra care of the teeth and avoid the bacteria growth.. Hopefully, this will not happened to other teeth that are yet to come out aminnnn.. Mommy is still worried tho huhu..

These are the pics from today's visit.. Enjoy the long weekend all.. :)

Kids are required to have their teeth checked every 6 months. But not all people know that adults are also advised to have their teeth checked once in a while to make sure they have healthy teeth and oral system.

Parents typically first take their children to the dentist around the age of two or two and a half. During these important formative years of your child's life, it's important to teach them good habits and reinforce a positive attitude about going to the dentist and maintaining dental hygiene.

The reason that people often ignore the regular dental checkup is the myth that one need to go to a dentist only after the age of 45. This is not true at all; teeth problems can happen at any age, with anyone.

The right time to take your child to a dentist is after his or her 1st birthday. The dentist will examine your child's mouth to determine if proper brushing and flossing are being done. Visits to the dentist are essential for early detection and prevention of possible dental problems.

Bringing your child to the dentist for the first time could bring him or her bad memories. Prevent it by conditioning your child before going to the dentist.

Dental Caries can only be prevented if we get ahead of them. This can be done by good oral hygiene practice and regular dental check-ups

People go to the dentist for a specific reason. Most people only visit a dental practitioner when they have serious trouble with their teeth.

To have a healthy set of teeth, it is important to take care of them regularly. Majority of the people do not know how to maintain their teeth. Hence, they end up getting cavities and unhealthy looking teeth.

That's true that if u want to overcome your dental feat you need to take the first step to the dentist near you. regular checkups are soo much better for oral health.
