Hi Doctor, Maya, my little one is about to turn one year old next month. He has 4 baby teeth, one of which is slightly crooked. I want to take him for a dentist visit. Could you clarify when is the best time for me to bring my child to the dentist for the first visit? Is it really necessary to do it so early, and what can I expect during that first appointment? Also, are there any specific things I should be looking out for in my child’s oral health as they start getting their teeth? Thank you in advance

Ans: According to the Indian Dental Association (IDA), it's recommended to bring your child for their first dental visit within six months of the eruption of their first tooth or by their first birthday.

Early dental visits can help:

1. Get your child accustomed to the dentist's chair and instruments. To be brought to a dental clinic for the first time when the child is already in pain can be very intimidating.
2. Identify any oral health issues early on, such as tooth decay or gum problems.
3. Provide guidance on proper oral hygiene and diet.
4. Establish a lifelong habit of regular dental check-ups.

Some signs that your child may need to visit the dentist earlier than the recommended six months to one year include:

- Visible signs of tooth decay
- White or brown spots on the teeth
- Gum inflammation or bleeding
- Difficulty feeding or swallowing

Consult with a pediatric dentist (also called pedodontists) for personalized advice.

My son is 7 yeard old. His front tooth (Upper right first) has fallen for the second time since a year ago. What are the options for its permanent solution.

Ans: Milk or Deciduous teeth fall once and are replaced by permanent teeth which are expected to last a lifetime. Permanent teeth do not fall except in case of severe trauma or years of neglect. Kindly consult your dentist to ascertain which teeth have fallen and to know what treatment, if any, is needed.

dear sir, my son age running 14 year, and his teeth is not clean and now whitening, i want to make his teeth white, what should i do, should i go to dentist for cleaning his teeth, and further when the permanent teeth will come until which age? , plz suggest

Ans: Hello Suresh
To answer your second question first, milk teeth (also called Deciduous teeth) are usually shed by the age of 12-13 yrs. So in all likelihood all the teeth currently visible in your son's mouth are permanent teeth. Please note his wisdom teeth (or third molars) will erupt at a later stage. Typically, between 18 and 25.
Please consult your dentist to find out why your son's teeth are discoloured and whether they need cleaning or whitening

Hi sir, My OBC Certificate issued in 2021. Can I use this in neet 2025 application form for uploading documents? Please explain sir

Ans: Hi, OBC certificate is very old. The validity of the caste certificate is one year. You may use the same certificate for application purposes, but you must have a valid one, including the creamy layer and Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) status, at the time of admission. Your admission will be based on this. Therefore, it is advisable to obtain a new certificate.
Better apply for same and get it ASAP.
