The First Step for a Lasting Smile 🦷

Did you know your child should see a pediatric dentist by age 1?

🦷Early dental visits help protect your child’s smile from the very beginning. Learn why your child’s first dental visit is so important!

When should my child visit a pediatric dentist?

🦷Children should visit a pediatric dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Starting early builds healthy oral habits that support a lifetime of strong, happy smiles.

Why should I start dental visits at such a young age?

🦷Delaying dental care can lead to cavities—also known as “Mouth Monsters.” These can affect your child’s health, development, comfort, and overall quality of life. Early visits help prevent problems before they start.

What should I expect at the first dental visit?

🦷Your pediatric dentist will:
• Check your child’s mouth and tooth development
• Look for early signs of dental concerns
• Teach you how to care for your child’s teeth at home

This gentle first visit helps create a positive, trusting relationship and sets your child on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles.

At Pediatric Dental Clinic-Davao, we believe that every lasting smile begins with the very first tooth.

Milk teeth may be temporary, but their role is crucial — guiding permanent teeth, supporting speech, nutrition, and jaw development. Neglecting them can lead to infections, crowding, and long-term dental problems.

Early care sets the foundation for a healthy, confident smile that lasts a lifetime. Start dental visits by age one and brush from the first tooth — because being first truly makes a lasting difference.

Many believe milk teeth are unimportant because they “fall out anyway.” This is one of the most harmful myths in dentistry.

Milk teeth, or primary teeth, play crucial roles — they keep proper spacing in the jaw, guide permanent teeth into position, and help with correct alignment. They are also vital for chewing, nutrition, clear speech, and normal jaw development.

When milk teeth are neglected, cavities and infections can develop. These infections can spread into the bone and reach developing permanent tooth buds, causing enamel defects or early damage even before the tooth erupts.

Losing milk teeth too early can cause nearby teeth to drift, reducing the space for permanent teeth. This often leads to crowding and the need for orthodontic treatment later.

Caring for milk teeth is not optional — it is the foundation for lifelong oral health. Start brushing from the first tooth and visit the dentist by age one to prevent problems that can last well beyond childhood.

Dr. Ma. Trinidad Rabe-Maganto attended the Noordhoff Cleft Forum: 2nd Multidisciplinary Cleft Conference, held on July 26–27, 2025, at The Medical City, Pasig City. This two-day conference was organized by the Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation, in collaboration with The SmileTrain, The Medical City, the University of the Philippines, and the Division of Plastic Surgery of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).

The forum gathered a diverse group of healthcare professionals—surgeons, dentists, orthodontists, speech-language pathologists, pediatricians, and other allied specialists—committed to delivering comprehensive, multidisciplinary cleft care. The conference provided a dynamic platform for the exchange of advanced clinical knowledge, collaborative case discussions, and best practices in the long-term management of patients with cleft lip and palate.

Dr. Trina’s active participation underscores her commitment to continuous professional development and her advocacy for a holistic and compassionate approach in the treatment of craniofacial conditions, particularly in the pediatric population.
