The oral examination in an infant is a rapid process but is different from that of an ordinary child:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It is not necessary to use a dental chair and has the least preference.<\/li>\n
  2. The father participates in the examination process to hold the infant still.<\/li>\n
  3. During the examination too, the parents are instructed to observe oral hygiene principles in the infant.<\/li>\n
  4. The infant might cry, which is favorable and helps in the oral examination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The preferable method of examination of the infant is the knee-to-knee position, in which the parent and the dentist sit face to face. In the ideal position, their knees should touch to create a flat surface so that the child can lie down on it. The parent is responsible for holding the child\u2019s hands, and the dentist holds the child\u2019s head. Most infants cry a little during the examination; therefore, they open their mouths well. After completing the examination, the child is returned to the parents to embrace and calm him\/her if necessary.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    When Should a Child\u2019s First Dental Examination Take Place?<\/h2>\n

    The child\u2019s first dental examination should be carried out within 6 months after the eruption of the first tooth and no more than 12 months of age. The examination should be carried out regularly in collaboration with a dentist. During the periodic examinations, attention is paid to the oral health status, the child\u2019s diet, use of a milk bottle, and his\/her risk of caries, based on which specific guidelines and instructions are provided for each child\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
