What to Expect at Your Child’s Dental Check-Up


Meeting And Greeting You have to make sure your child feels comfortable, formally introduce your child to the dentist on their first visit. A good children’s dentist will explain each step to you about dental checkups. They will show their small tools to your kids in a fun way. And they will assure your child that they can sit on Mommy’s or Daddy’s lap and stop any procedure if they don’t like it.


A Eull Examination Your dentist will perform a careful examination of your kid’s teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for signs of disease or other problems. The dentist’s goal is to help and maintain your kid’s good oral health and to prevent problems from becoming serious, by recognizing and treating them in the initial stage..


A Thorough Cleaning Dental checkups usually include complete cleaning from your dentist which helps in keeping good oral health. Using special instruments, a dental hygienist will clean below the gum line, eliminating built-up plaque and tartar that can cause gum disease, cavities, bad breath, and other problems that are not good for the child.


Learning The Facts By using the models, an oversize brush, and “cavity creep� finger puppets, the dentist will teach your child how to brush and floss and many other good oral habits. A dentist will also explain how the cavity creeps come out at night time to harm teeth and gives them some tips like to eat nutritious meals and drink plenty of water to keep teeth healthy.


Mastering The Machinery Because the spitting cup may make some scary sucking noises, the dentist will show your child how it works, and they will also teach how to spit into it properly. Then, the dentist will wear a mask and gloves to count your child’s teeth, and demonstrate to you as well.


Cleaning And Polishing Next, the dentist will polish your kid’s teeth with a rotary toothbrush. At this time, make sure the staff provides goggles or sunglasses to protect your child’s eyes in case of tool slips or toothpaste sprays. Letting the kid see and hear the rotary brush before it is placed in his mouth helps put him/her at ease.
