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 important for early, effective treatment. For example, a small cavity can often be managed with fluoride-rich toothpaste.
The dentist will also evaluate the oral care habits of kids and help them learn more about taking care of their teeth. Every dentist for kids’ appointment in Regina, SK includes a cavity screening, gum evaluation, bite analysis, and x-ray evaluation (not by a specialist).
