What happens in a typical dental check-up?
During a visit to your pediatric dentist, your pediatric dentist will review your child’s medical and dental history. Your dentist will gently examine your child’s teeth, oral tissues, and jaws. In addition, your dentist will provide professional teeth cleanings to remove debris that build up on the teeth, irritate the gums and cause decay. Education is another part of routine dental check-ups. A well-trained pediatric dentist will not only communicate with parents in a professional and articulate manner, but also describe to your child most oral health concepts through easy-to-understand words, pictures, and concepts. Don’t be surprised if your child walk away after their visits more motivated than ever to take responsibility for their oral health!
