The first milk teeth begin to erupt in about 6 months, and the 20 milk teeth in total are completed around the age of 2.5. After the first tooth erupts, pedodontic examination should be done between 6 months and 1 year of age. In this way, problems such as bottle or breastfeeding caries are prevented. The first dental examination is very important in terms of recommendations about the baby's nutrition and measures to be taken to protect dental health.
