Benefits of regular visits
Regular dental visits help your child remain cavity-free. We recommend seeing your child twice a year for a dental check-up and cleaning. Some kids can benefit from more frequent visits and your pediatric dentist will let you know what the best frequency is.
What happens during a routine visit
During that visit, we will check the health of your child’s mouth including the teeth and gums. We will also complete a dental cleaning and polishing followed by an application of fluoride on the teeth. Dental x-rays may also be taken according to each child’s needs. Primarily, they allow to check for cavities in between the teeth.
