What is a Dental Checkup?
A dental checkup, also known as a routine dental examination, is an essential part of maintaining your child’s oral health. It involves a thorough examination of your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth by our experienced pediatric dentist and dental team.
What is Involved in a Dental Checkup?
1. Oral Examination: Our pediatric dentist will carefully inspect your child’s teeth and gums, looking for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues.
2. X-rays: If necessary, we may take X-rays to get a comprehensive view of your child’s dental health, helping us detect any hidden problems.
3. Cleaning: Our skilled dental hygienists will clean your child’s teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing may miss.
4. Fluoride Treatment: To strengthen your child’s teeth and prevent cavities, we may apply a fluoride treatment to their teeth.
5. Dental Sealants: We might recommend dental sealants, thin protective coatings, to help prevent tooth decay in your child’s back teeth.
