Routine Oral Evaluations & Hygiene Guidance

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health. While a visit every six months is commonly recommended, we recognize that every child is unique. Our pediatric dentists will tailor the frequency of visits based on your child’s individual needs to ensure they receive the best care at the right time.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry emphasizes the importance of creating a continuous, accessible relationship between the dentist and your child—also known as the dental home. Early and routine oral evaluations help us detect potential issues such as tooth decay before they become more serious. With early detection, we can address concerns with simple, minimally invasive solutions.

These visits also give us a chance to support you with:

• A personalized home care plan, including brushing, flossing, and fluoride use
• A caries (cavity) risk assessment
• Guidance on thumb sucking, pacifier use, and other oral habits
• Advice on preventing dental injuries and dental decays
• Nutritional counseling for oral health
• Insights into your child’s oral growth and development

Oral Hygiene Instructions for Kids & Parents

At every check-up, we provide easy-to-follow oral hygiene instructions tailored to your child’s age and needs. We show both children and parents the best techniques for brushing and flossing, and when appropriate, how to incorporate mouth rinses and more.

Good home care between visits can significantly reduce the risk of plaque buildup, tartar, and cavities—and we’re here to make it as simple and stress-free as possible!
