He or she usually treats oral problems such as tooth decay, gingivitis, and other dental problems.

Children get baby teeth in the first six months of life, but without proper dental care, they face the most serious dental problems of their lives. At the age of 6-7 years, they lose the first set of teeth, which is eventually replaced by secondary permanent teeth.
     
The first visit to the dentist should take place immediately after the first birthday of a child. It is usually short and requires very little treatment.
     
You may also be asked to wait for part of the visit to establish a relationship between your child and the dentist. You can ask to sit on the dentist's chair and hold the child during the examination in Greeneville, TN.
     
In order for your child to have healthy teeth and gums, clean their teeth, and make sure that they receive sufficient fluoride at home. Topical fluoride protects and prevents teeth from cavities.
