Keeping your child's smile bright takes teamwork! We want to make sure your child gets the most out of dental visits and has healthy teeth for life. We'll partner with you to provide complete dental care and show you how to keep that smile sparkling at home with the right dental products.
Regular Checkups and Cleanings
Regular checkups are key to a healthy smile! During these visits, the hygienist will:
- Check for hidden problems
- Look for cavities and decay
- Inspect gums for gingivitis and gum disease
- Give your child a thorough cleaning, rinse, and polish
- These checkups every six months allow you and your child to ask questions about your family's oral health and learn about new treatments.
Brushing and Beyond: Choosing the Right Tools
From toothpaste and mouthwash to toothbrushes and floss, picking the right tools matters! Look for the American Dental Association (ADA) approval when choosing toothpaste or toothbrushes. Your dentist can also recommend specific products for your child's needs.
Fun Fact: Teething Time!
Did you know babies have 20 primary teeth that start erupting at 6 months? By age 21, all 32 permanent teeth have replaced the baby teeth!
Learning about teeth can be fun and educational!
