Just like well-visits to your child’s pediatrician, routine dental visits are important for kids and their ever changing teeth. Your child should have his first pediatric dentist visit by the age of 2 unless there is a concern earlier on. Parents should schedule a routine cleaning and exam every six months.
Why Dental Checkups are Important for Kids
- During biannual dental appointments, your child’s teeth will be examined for new developments in their teeth and gums, as well as address oral care strategies. Good at home care is important, however routine cleanings remove plaque and debris from hard to reach places.
- Routine checkups help prevent tooth decay and cavities. 40% of kids have tooth decay by the time they reach kindergarten, which can be painful, require sick days from school and could lead to other medical issues.
- Children’s teeth change rapidly – changes in a child’s diet, thumb sucking, etc can make them at risk for decay and misalignment quickly.
- Issues like crowded, missing, and crooked teeth can be addressed early on.
- Regular visits to your pediatric dentist gives your child a ‘dental home’ that they feel safe and comfortable in. This is especially important for emergency dental visits.
