Dental check-ups are an essential part of your child’s overall health, which could affect his or her academic performance. Dental examinations are equally important as immunizations and booster shots as we recommend. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid untreated dental diseases that can cause pain, trouble eating, difficulty in speaking and school absenteeism.
What Happens During Dental Checkup?
With a recommended two dentist check-ups for children, it is an ideal time to have one scheduled for your child. The examination will help ensure your child is brushing and flossing correctly. It will help us identify any potential issues before they become an emergency visit and put your child’s mouth in a lot of trouble in the future.
We examine your child’s overall dental health, looking for decays, cavities, gum diseases, misalignment, and malocclusions.·Based on your child’s dental condition, we suggest the right treatment.
