Preventing children's oral health from the earliest years

Clínica Dr Pedro Coelho's Kids Care programme was created to monitor children's oral health from an early age, helping to prevent dental problems and create healthy habits.

Many parents go to a children's dentist in Oeiras when they start to have doubts about the growth of their teeth or when their child's first cavity appears. Paediatric dental care makes it possible to identify changes in teeth at an early stage and to advise parents on children's oral hygiene.

In paediatric dentistry consultations for children, we assess the development of milk teeth, the position of the teeth and possible risk factors for tooth decay. Regular monitoring can help maintain children's oral health and reduce the need for more complex dental treatment in the future.

Prevention is the most effective way to protect children's oral health.

First consultation

When to take your child to the dentist for the first time

One of the most common questions among parents is when to take their child to the dentist for the first time. Paediatric dental care should begin in the first few years of life, ideally when the baby teeth are complete or, at the latest, around the age of three.

A consultation with a children's dentist allows you to assess the development of teeth, advise parents on oral hygiene and identify possible dental problems at an early stage.

At the Dr Pedro Coelho Clinic in Oeiras, the first paediatric dentistry appointment for children is carried out in a calm and educational manner, helping to create a relationship of trust between the child and the dentist.

The aim is for the child to see the dentist's office as a positive and safe space.
