Kids Dental Checkup & Maintaining Good Oral Health.
In addition to teaching your children about daily brushing and flossing habits seeing their dentist regularly for checkups is vital in maintaining their oral health care. Checkups are more than just basic cleaning. Here is what you can expect from a dental checkup.
X-rays: (if you have not had them in the past year) are the dentist’s tool to look for gum disease or other dental problems.
Examination: The dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to look for changes or signs of a problem.
Education: After X-rays and an oral examination, the dentist will review any dental or hygiene problems detected.
Cleaning and Polishing of your Teeth: After reviewing your child’s teeth, the dentist or a dental hygienist will remove tartar build-up by cleaning and polishing them.
They may go over dental hygiene care with your child if they see they are not brushing or flossing well. Teach them how to floss or point out areas they need to focus more on.
