Why visit the pediatric dentist twice a year when the child has never had a cavity?

Regular dental visits help your child stay cavity free. Teeth cleaning removes debris that builds up on the teeth, irritates the gums and causes decay. Fluoride treatments renew the fluoride content in the enamel, strengthen teeth and prevent cavities. Hygiene instructions improve your child's brushing and flossing, leading to cleaner teeth and healthier gums.

Tooth decay isn't the only reason for a dental visit. We provide an ongoing assessment of changes in your child's oral health. For example, your child may need additional fluoride, dietary changes or sealants for ideal dental health. We may identify orthodontic problems and suggest treatment to guide teeth as they emerge in the mouth.
