What happens during a routine dental checkup?
During a dental visit, the dental hygienist or assistant will review your child’s medical history with you. This is to ensure that Dr. Hubbard and our staff are updated on the general health of your child so that we may review any factors that may affect your child’s dental health. Your child’s mouth will be examined for overall oral health and his/her teeth will be cleaned to remove plaque, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. After the cleaning, fluoride will be applied to the teeth to help protect and strengthen the weak areas against decay.
