Routine Dental
Checkups for Kids
It’s crucial to have routine checkups for kids at least every 6 months. During the cleaning and checkup, your dentist for kids will be able to identify any early signs or oral health issues. Being able to identify dental health issues early is essential for early, effective treatment. For example, a small cavity can be reversed with fluoride-rich toothpaste.
The doctor will also evaluate the oral care habits of kids and help them learn more about taking care of their teeth. Every kids’ dental appointment in our Regina office includes a cavity screening, gum evaluation, bite analysis, and x-ray evaluation.
Oral Health Recommendations
for Kids
- Visit a dentist within six months of the signs of the first tooth or by age one.
- Use bottles for bedtime only with water. Napping or sleeping with milk or juice can cause tooth decay
- Drink from a cup after the age of one.
- Breaking the thumb sucking habit by the age of 2
- Don’t use sugary substances on pacifiers
- Limit sugary snacks and juices, and brush immediately after.
- Use a child toothbrush with only a pea-size amount of toothpaste
- Clean gums while the teeth are coming in.
- Supervise teeth cleaning and brushing activities until the age of 8.
- Make sure they are receiving the correct amount of fluoride by talking with your kids’ dentistry doctor.
