Every parent worries about their child.

Every mother and father wants their children to be happy and joyful. But having fun and playing is much more difficult if the baby starts to have a toothache.

Therefore, it is important to visit the dentist regularly.

But at what age should a child first be taken to such a doctor?

Doctor Sabit Aliyev explained in an interview with the publication Gazeta.Ru that the optimal age for the first graying is two years.

As the specialist noted, by this age the child already has 20 teeth. The doctor will determine whether they are growing evenly, will tell if there are any problems, and will also explain what care is needed. In addition, the dentist will explain what procedures will be needed in the future.

It is important to periodically visit such a doctor’s office with your child, since teeth that are not treated in childhood can hurt in adulthood.

Aliyev recommended teaching children from an early age how to properly use a toothbrush and floss, and also talking about the dangers of sugar.
