- Start primary tooth care from 6 months
- Prevent baby bottle decay (wipe teeth with gauze)
- First dental visit recommended within 12 months

Primary teeth, the first teeth in life, directly affect the position of permanent teeth, speech, and chewing function. Early oral care habits are the starting point for lifelong oral health.

Check List
- Ensure proper care of first permanent tooth
- Fluoride application and sealants recommended
- Establish twice-daily brushing habits
- Regular dental check-ups
The first molar that erupts around age 6 is a permanent tooth for life. Sealants and fluoride application at this stage are key to cavity-free teeth.

Check List
- Check for wisdom tooth development
- Prevent smoking and drinking
- Use mouthguard (bruxism, sports, etc.)
- Early cavity management
Wisdom teeth begin to emerge and occlusion is completed. This is the most effective period for orthodontics when needed, and early checks of bad oral habits are important.

Check List
- Scaling at least once a year
- Gum care with brush and floss (gum disease prevention)
- Special care exam for pregnancy-related gum disease
- Check for stress-related tooth wear and bruxism
This is a period when oral care can be neglected due to busy schedules. Gum disease begins gradually at this stage and progresses without pain. Regular scaling is the key prevention.
