Why have regular dental check-ups?
Our goal is prevention. If decay is developing, let’s find it early. If the .gum. tissues are inflamed, let’s find out why. If your child has a problem with his “bite” or a problem with the eruption of teeth, let’s determine if early correction is possible to eliminate the need for orthodontic care at a later date. Preventing dental decay is enhanced by the application of fluoride in the dental paste that is used to clean your child’s teeth and in the topical gel applied to the teeth after cleaning. This professional application of fluoride given every six months can reduce dental decay by as much as 40 – 60%.
