When Should My Child See a Dentist?
It’s widely recommended that your child visits the dentist every six months for a dental checkup, which includes both a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup and a comprehensive oral health exam. This approach ensures thorough monitoring of your child’s oral health, allowing us to detect and address any issues early on. By combining cleaning and examination, we work to keep your child’s smile clean, healthy, and bright.
Sometimes, it might be necessary to schedule an exam outside of this twice a year routine. Here are a few signs that you might want to schedule a dental checkup:
- Your child is experiencing dental discomfort (toothaches, jaw pain, etc.)
- Your child’s gums have been extra sensitive (bleeding, changing color, receding from the base of their teeth, etc.)
- You have noticed a sore or irritation in or around your child’s mouth that has lasted longer than three days
- Your child can’t get rid of chronic bad breath or a bad taste in their mouth
- Their teeth aren’t coming in properly
If any of the above describes a condition that your child is experiencing, don’t worry. Contact your friends at Olympia Hills Junior Pediatric Dental today to schedule their dental checkup.
