Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Common oral health problems, like cavities, can easily develop under the radar. But that’s not the only reason we recommend bringing your child to our office every six months for a visit. We also teach dental hygiene education during each visit to remind young patients about the importance of oral health and give them some helpful tips. Our Plano team will also carefully listen and respond to any of their questions to empower them to take good care of their smile.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
During the checkup, we’ll carefully examine your child’s teeth, gums, soft tissues, and jaw, looking for common oral health problems and developmental complications in the process. Then, we’ll review our findings with you and your little one. If needed, we’ll work with you to create a custom treatment plan to correct any potential issues and answer any questions you have beforehand so you feel total confidence moving forward.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Once the checkup is over, one of our friendly dental hygienists will gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from your child’s teeth. In the process, they will share any tips they have – from how to make oral hygiene more fun for kids to which toothbrush is best for their age. The cleaning concludes with a fluoride rinse, which will help keep your child’s teeth clean and healthy until their next appointment.
