Why See a Dentist
Because a healthy smile lasts a lifetime!
Your child's teeth are an important part of their body and keeping them clean helps keep their mouth and body healthy. By helping your child take care of their teeth, eating a balanced diet, and visiting the dentist regularly, your child can have healthy teeth and an attractive smile throughout their entire life.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
It is recommended that children have a checkup at least every six months.
What happens when we visit the dentist?
At the checkup, your child will receive a thorough cleaning and an oral exam by the dentist. During the oral exam, the dentist checks the health of your child's mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue. As your child gets older, at each visit the dentist will also check old fillings and restorations because constant pressure from chewing, grinding, or clenching can cause them to wear away, chip, or crack.
