Children’s Dentistry

Children’s routine dental examinations are crucial for monitoring their oral health, ensuring proper development, and addressing any dental concerns early.

Creating positive dental experiences during childhood helps establish good oral hygiene habits and can lead to a lifetime of healthy smiles. Here’s what you can expect during a children’s routine dental examination:

• The dentist will perform an age-appropriate assessment of your child’s oral health. For very young children, this may involve a visual examination and gentle counting of teeth.
• Medical History Review: The dentist or dental hygienist will review your child’s medical history, including any recent illnesses, medications, or allergies that could affect dental care.
• The dentist will typically discuss your child’s oral health with you, addressing any concerns or questions you may have.
• The dentist will visually inspect your child’s teeth, gums, tongue, and oral tissues to check for any signs of dental problems, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral abnormalities.
• Fluoride Treatment: In some cases, the dentist may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your child’s tooth enamel and help prevent cavities.
• Assessment of Growth and Development: For older children and teenagers, the dentist will assess the growth and development of the jaw and teeth. This may involve discussions about orthodontic concerns or recommendations for orthodontic treatment if necessary.
• Discussion of Preventive Measures: The dentist may discuss preventive measures such as dental sealants (a protective coating applied to the back teeth) or the use of mouthguards for sports activities.
