What to expect during your child’s dental exam

1.Medical History Review

We start by reviewing your child’s medical and dental history. This helps us understand any underlying conditions or medications that might affect their oral health.

2. Gentle Visual Examination

Our dentist will perform a gentle and thorough visual inspection of your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth. This includes checking for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

3. X-Rays

Dental X-rays may be taken to get a detailed view of your child’s teeth and jawbone. These images help us detect issues that are not visible to the naked eye, such as cavities between teeth, impacted teeth, and bone development concerns.

4. Growth & Development Assessment

We evaluate your child’s oral growth and development, ensuring their teeth and jaws are developing properly. This includes checking for bite alignment and spacing issues.

5. Gentle & Patient Approach

Our dentists and staff use a gentle and patient approach, explaining procedures in a way that children can understand and feel comfortable with.

6. Plaque & Tartar Removal

Using specialized tools, our hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar from your child’s teeth, particularly around the gum line and between teeth. This process helps prevent cavities and gum disease.

7. Educational & Interactive

We educate children about the importance of oral health through interactive and engaging methods, helping them understand the value of good oral hygiene habits.

8. Polishing

After plaque and tartar removal, your child’s teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and make their teeth smooth and shiny. This step also helps prevent future plaque buildup.

9. Fluoride Treatment

We offer fluoride treatments to strengthen your child’s teeth and protect against decay. Fluoride varnish is applied to the teeth, providing long-lasting protection.

10. Oral Hygiene Tips

Our hygienists will provide your child with fun and engaging oral hygiene tips, including brushing and flossing techniques and dietary recommendations to maintain good oral health at home.
