Preventive dental examinations are an essential part of maintaining good oral health for children. These regular check-ups with a dentist or dental hygienist can help identify potential problems early on and prevent them from becoming more serious.
During a preventive dental examination for a child, the dentist or hygienist will clean their teeth and remove any plaque or tartar build-up. They will also check for any signs of decay, cavities, or other potential problems, and provide recommendations for maintaining good oral hygiene.
In addition to a thorough cleaning and examination, preventive dental examinations for children can also include X-rays, which can help the dentist identify any problems that may not be visible during a visual examination. This can include issues with the teeth, gums, or jaw, and can help the dentist develop a treatment plan if necessary.
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children have a preventive dental examination at least once a year. Some children may need to see a dentist more frequently, depending on their age and oral health needs.
