As a parent, you do all that you can to make sure that your child has opportunities. You also need to make sure that they have the healthcare that they need not stay safe into adulthood. This means that if you’ve been skipping their routine cleanings and examinations, you could be falling short. Your little one depends on you to make their schedule, and it is up to you to schedule their next checkup every six months.

With our caring, gentle dental team in Round Rock, TX, you can keep the focus on their oral health as they grow. Children develop their dental habits at a very early age, making their preventive appointments an essential part of their oral health journey. We can also be a trusted outside authority figure, giving them vital information about how to care for their smile with thorough brushing and flossing. If it’s time for their next biannual cleaning and checkup, call our office today; we can help them grow into their smile.

Are They Up to Date With Their Visits?

Just like you do, your child needs to see the dentist periodically for a checkup and a thorough cleaning of their teeth. The timelines are generally similar, as well, with children requiring appointments twice a year. And some of the risks are the same as well; plaque and tartar can accumulate in young smiles just like in adult patients.

While you wait to schedule their next checkup, bacterial buildup can start to happen. Without thorough brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into a calcified form known as tartar, and at this point, they need the help of a trusted dental professional. At their next biannual checkup, our team can remove this material and help them to continue to have a safe and happy smile. But if you miss their appointments, this problem can continue to grow.

We’re A Great Source Of Dental Information

When they come in for their next checkup, they won’t only receive a thorough cleaning of the surface of their teeth and along their gumline. They also have the opportunity to meet with their provider, which can be a real help for parents. Children are not known for their dedication to brushing and flossing, but we can help them to understand the importance. At their next appointment, talk to our team about ways to interest your little one in their oral health.
