A Children’s Checkup Keeps Them Safe

And just like you do, they have a schedule of routine dental examinations and cleanings that work to give them the chance to learn the ropes with a trusted local oral health provider. None of us are born with an innate knowledge of how to consistently maintain our smile with brushing and flossing, so keeping them close to their dentist with appointments for a children’s checkup as they age can help them to grow into a happy and healthy adult smile.

At Sunny Smiles, we know the value of positive prevention. A big part of this is making their trips to the dentist a little more fun, so when it is time for your child’s next dental appointment, take the opportunity to enjoy it a little bit more. Like adults, most children require visits with their oral health provider every six months for a dedicated cleaning and examination; and just as in your smile, plaque and tartar accumulation can happen in areas where brushing and flossing simply is not enough.
