This is a busy time of year for everyone. Between the kids being out of school and holidays just a few days away, you may not have had time to bring everyone in for their checkup. Your team at Riverside Dental Group in California is here to remind you to schedule a cleaning and examination at the start of the year. This first of the year checkup for your kids can help ensure that their smiles are happy, and any necessary treatments can be planned for the year ahead.
Keep Smiles Safe At Home
A cleaning and examination can help protect your smile, but one of the most important steps of your oral hygiene routine is maintenance at home. Make sure that your kids are brushing and flossing twice a day to remove bacteria and food particles from throughout the day. We know that this may not always be your child’s favorite task, so we can offer tips to make this step easier on you and your child. The holiday season can also be rough on smiles, so be sure to limit the amount of sugary snacks that your little one eats.
A Checkup To Start The Year
The holidays can be full of sugary snacks and treats, which can be exciting for your kids but harmful to their smiles. A checkup to start the year can be a great way to make sure that your little one is cavity-free and ready to start the year. Your child’s checkup will include a cleaning to remove plaque buildup, and examination to thoroughly take a look at their teeth and gums. Their dentist may look for cavities, gingivitis, newly erupting teeth, and more to ensure they are in good oral health.
Planning Restorations And More
If your child has a cavity or other concerns that their dentist notices, restorations can be planned to protect their smiles. Dental fillings, for example, can be used to remove the damaged part of the tooth and add a new material to the space. It’s important that this is planned promptly to avoid further damage to their pearly whites.
Orthodontic treatment can also be planned at the start of the year if your child is around the age of seven. Interceptive care can be discussed during the consultation to prepare their smiles for braces. To learn more about orthodontic care, talk to our team today.
