You know that you need to see your dentist from time to time for a routine cleaning and examination. For most people, the goal is to come in twice each year for your biannual maintenance. But if you’re not holding your child to the same set of standards, then you’re falling short.

Are You Sticking To Their Preventive Schedule?
Your child’s oral health schedule was set for a reason, and if you’re making changes to the plan, make sure to talk things through with their dentist. For most kids, the goal is to come in twice each year for a biannual checkup, helping to fight back against common concerns like tooth decay and periodontal disease. These visits include both a cleaning of the surface of their teeth and an examination.
Both of these elements are important. The cleaning helps to remove any bacterial buildup that has happened since their last visit. A thorough visual examination gives their provider the chance to check in with the smile to see how they’re progressing.
Have Them Ask All Of Their Oral Health Questions
While they are in the office, it’s a great opportunity for them to learn a little bit more about themselves. None of us were born with an innate knowledge of how to care for our bodies, and our healthcare professionals are there to help. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of their smile success story.
So, when they are due for their next checkup, let’s brush up on brushing and flossing. Schedule their visit, and have them start thinking about their oral health questions.
