Preventative care is one of the simplest and most important ways to make sure your child’s teeth grow in strong and healthy. Giving them the proper tools and teaching them the right way to brush when they are young lays the groundwork that will create healthy habits they will carry with them into adulthood.
Most children have two cleanings a year, but children with a higher risk of caries may need more frequent visits.
During a checkup, your child’s hygienist will clean their teeth and, if necessary, take x-rays and give your child a fluoride treatment. The dentist will perform an exam and review if any treatment is needed.
Studies have shown that the earlier a child receives their first dental exam, the less dental treatment was needed during their youth. We recommend oral exams for children when their first tooth erupts.
Routine cleanings and exams are necessary to make sure your child's teeth stay healthy throughout childhood. Our doctor recommends two cleanings a year to maintain optimal oral health.
Pediatric x-rays allow our doctor to get a view of your child's teeth and jaws that they can't see with their eyes, while keeping radiation exposure to a minimum.
Regular fluoride treatments help reduce your child's risk of developing cavities and can remineralize areas where decay is starting. Our doctor believes regular fluoride treatments are an important part of treatment for most children.
