Preventive dentistry for children starts 6 months after the eruption of the first tooth and continues throughout life. Preventive dentistry practices are practices requiring the cooperation of physicians and parents to protect the oral and dental health of the child and the whole family.

Çocuklar için koruyucu diş hekimliği ilk dişin sürmesinden 6 ay sonra başlayan ve ömür boyu devam eden bir süreçtir. Koruyucu diş hekimliği uygulamaları çocuğun ve tüm ailenin ağız ve diş sağlığını korumak için hekim ile anne-babanın işbirliği halinde olmasını gerektiren uygulamalardır.
