Dr. Porntep Suandok, a pediatrician, along with Dr. Darawann Homsuksuk, a pediatric dentist at Bangkok Hospital, provided health information to the media on the topic of Preparing Children’s Health to be Strong for Their Age Enhancing Development and Dental Care During Ages 1-4
Because young children need close care for their physical, emotional, mental development, and behavior, parents and caregivers should take care of the child’s health from today to prepare them to be strong adults in the future. Including dental health is something that should not be ignored. Dental caries in young children can often occur because it is difficult for children to avoid sweets. It is considered an infectious disease that is common among Thai children. Doctors recommend that parents take their children for health checkups, including their first dental checkup, similar to taking them for vaccinations, and monitor the growth and development of the child with a pediatrician. The dentist will provide personalized oral health care advice to ensure that children have strong dental health, enabling a beautiful and lasting smile.
You can receive health and dental checkups for children at the Child Health Center, 4C Floor, Bangkok Hospital.
