Pediatric Dentistry in Duncanville, TX
Checkups
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that most children see a pediatric dentist at least twice a year for a check-up. More frequent visits may be indicated if your child has poor oral hygiene, unusual growth patterns, or if they have increased risk for tooth decay.
These regular visits are valuable even if your child has never had a cavity. Regular visits aid in remaining
cavity free. Professional cleanings remove plaque and debris that can build up on teeth and lead to gum
irritation and decay. Regular check-ups provide an opportunity for the doctor and hygienist to evaluate your
child’s oral hygiene and make suggestions for improvement.
Your pediatric dentist monitors your child’s overall dental health. Regular visits allow us to track growth and
development, assess fluoride exposure, suggest dietary changes, and recommend sealant placement at the proper time.
