Comprehensive dental exams explained
During your child’s dental exam, the dentist will meticulously check the teeth and gums for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other health problems. X-rays might be taken to uncover hidden issues beneath the surface. This thorough examination helps in crafting a personalized care plan to address any specific needs your child may have.
Preventing problems before they start
Regular dental exams and cleanings are key to maintaining oral health and preventing future dental issues. Good oral hygiene is essential for your child’s overall well-being. While daily brushing and flossing at home are crucial, comprehensive exams and cleanings at the dentist play an indispensable role. Experts, including the American Dental Association, advocate for dental visits every six months to keep teeth healthy and smiles radiant.
