Oral Exams and Cleanings

When should I schedule my child’s first dental visit?

 

A child’s first dental visit can be scheduled as early as 6 months of age.  There are important things we need to share with you about your child’s oral hygiene and oral development.  We want your child to become familiar with their dental home at an early age.

 

What will happen at my child’s dental visit?

 

We will carefully evaluate your child’s oral health.  We will check teeth, gums, and jaw.  We will take your child’s age into consideration when deciding what digital x-rays to take and what type of teeth cleaning to do.

 

Dental Education

What is dental education?

 

We believe in the importance of dental education to better prepare your child for their dental future.  We emphasis brushing, flossing and healthy snacking at each dental visit so that your child has the proper knowledge to maintain healthy teeth throughout their life.

 

Fluoride Treatment

What is a fluoride treatment?

 

Fluoride (also known as nature’s cavity fighter) is a naturally occurring mineral.  It strengthens teeth enamel and makes it more resistant to acid attacks that cause cavities. Fluoride can also help to rebuild  (remineralize) weakened tooth enamel and reverse early signs of cavities.
