Early Dental Care for Children

Primary teeth hold space for permanent teeth, aid chewing and speech, and contribute to facial growth. At Terkuran Clinic, we provide guidance to parents regarding discomfort that may arise during the teething process and recommend solutions such as teething toys, gentle gum massages, or over-the-counter pain relievers.
