Why Are Primary Teeth Important?

How often should your child have a dental checkup?

One of the most important things we do for your children is provide them with routine preventive care. The preventive dental care program is a winning combination of routine oral exams, instruction, and education in the proper methods for maintaining a clean, healthy smile throughout the year. The American Dental Association advises parents to bring their kids in for regular preventive care once every six months. Once here, our dentist will perform a comprehensive examination of the teeth, gums, and jaws to assess your child’s overall dental health and development. If any emerging issues are detected, we can provide the simple treatments required to address these problems early in their onset. And, since children are at an increased risk for dental decay, our office also provides periodic fluoride treatment to strengthen the enamel of the developing teeth and dental sealants to shield the permanent premolars and molars from cavities.
