Smiles for Life
Maintaining your child’s oral health starts with good hygiene habits, regular dental visits, and proper care between checkups. Our practice is committed to helping your child enjoy a healthy, radiant smile for life! We’ll partner with you to provide comprehensive dental care, while also guiding you on how to support your child’s oral health at home with the right tools and products for your family.
Dental Cleanings and Checkups
Routine dental checkups are essential to keeping your child’s teeth and gums in great condition. During these visits, our dental hygienist will:
- Detect potential issues before they become serious
- Check for cavities and early signs of tooth decay
- Examine the gums for gingivitis or periodontal disease
- Perform a thorough cleaning, rinse, and polish
Visiting the dentist every six months ensures that your child’s oral health is on track and provides an opportunity for you to discuss any questions or concerns with the dentist. These checkups are also a great time to learn about new treatments or techniques that can benefit your child’s smile.
Choosing the Right Toothpaste and Toothbrush
When it comes to choosing oral care products, such as toothpaste, mouthwash, toothbrushes, or dental floss, it’s important to select those recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA). Your dentist can also provide personalized product recommendations to help you maintain your child’s oral health at home.
