The Importance of Regular Pediatric Dental Examinations
Regular dental examinations play a vital role in maintaining your child’s oral health. These visits allow us to monitor the growth and development of teeth, detect potential problems early, and provide preventive care to avoid serious dental issues. Starting routine dental visits at an early age helps your child build positive dental habits and reduces anxiety about seeing the dentist.
What Happens During a Pediatric Dental Exam?
During a pediatric dental exam, Dr. Gostanian will:
Check for Cavities and Decay: Using advanced diagnostic tools, we inspect teeth and gums for signs of cavities, plaque buildup, or early decay.
Evaluate Tooth and Jaw Development: Assess how your child’s teeth are growing and whether orthodontic evaluations may be needed in the future.
Examine Gums and Oral Tissues: Screen for gum inflammation, infection, or other oral health concerns.
Discuss Oral Hygiene Practices: Provide personalized recommendations on brushing, flossing, and nutrition to support healthy teeth and gums.
Review Habits and Lifestyle Factors: Offer advice on thumb-sucking, pacifier use, and other habits that can impact oral health.
Professional Dental Cleanings for Kids
Our dental cleanings are designed to keep your child’s teeth sparkling clean and healthy. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities and gum disease if left untreated. Our gentle and thorough cleanings include:
