• We recommend a twice-a-year check-up for most children. Regular dental visits help your child stay cavity free. Some children need more frequent dental visits because of increased risk of tooth decay, unusual growth patterns or poor oral hygiene.
• Periodical teeth cleanings remove debris that build-up on the teeth, irritate the gums and cause decay. Fluoride treatments renew the fluoride content in the enamel, strengthening teeth and preventing cavities. Hygiene instructions improve your child's brushing and flossing, leading to cleaner teeth and healthier gums.
• Regular checkups can detect a cavity early (long before your child complains of pain and needs extensive treatment). Tooth decay isn't the only reason for a dental visit. Your child may need additional fluoride, dietary changes, or sealants for ideal dental health. Orthodontic problems can be identified and timely treatment suggested.
