Your Baby’s First Visit to the dentist -
it’s a vital decision! |
 |
| Dr. Foncea holds the view that your child should be brought to the dentist at the age of 1 year. This is a vital decision as at this young age of the child, the dentist can influence the parents to take the necessary steps that will ensure that the child will be able to maintain a lifelong healthy smile.
A Child’s primary teeth are as important as the permanent adult teeth. That’s why the American Dental Association recommends that a child should be seen by a dentist as soon as his or her tooth erupts, but not later than the first birthday. Primary teeth, which often begin to appear when children are about 6 months old, help them to chew and speak.
Begin brushing your child’s teeth with a little water as soon as the first tooth appears. If you are considering using toothpaste before the child is 2 years of age, ask your dentist or physician first. Read more |

| Oral Cancer Screening |
The Importance of Early Detection
Your dentist has recent good news about progress against cancer. It is now easier than ever before to detect oral cancer early, when the opportunity for a cure is great. Only half of all patients diagnosed with oral cancer survive more than five years.
Your dentist has the skills and tools to ensure that early signs of cancer and pre-cancerous conditions are identified. You and your dentist can fight and win the battle against oral cancer. Know the early signs
and see your dentist regularly.
Regular Dental Check-ups Important
Oral cancer screening is a routine part of a dental examination. Regular check-ups, including an examination of the entire mouth, are essential in the early detection of cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions. You may have a very small, but dangerous, oral spot or sore and not be aware of it.
Your dentist will carefully examine the inside of your mouth and tongue and in some patients may notice a flat, painless, white or red spot or a small sore. Although most of these are harmless, some are not. Harmful oral spots or sores often look identical to those that are harmless, but testing can tell them apart. If you have a sore with a likely cause, your dentist may treat it and ask you to return for re-examination. Read more on how your dentist can help you.
