Before they can take care of their smile, the responsibility falls on you. As a parent, it’s important to be sure that you are following the schedule given to you by their dentist, and when you fall behind in their routine oral health care, they become at risk. Just like in adult smiles, plaque and tartar buildup can create some serious problems. So, if you’ve been holding off on their next checkup, set them up for smile success with a visit to our office.

Here at Pediatric Dentistry of Round Rock, we help little ones to grow into their smiles, and we know the value of keeping up with their dental checkups. Most children are like you, meaning that they need to see their dentist at least twice each year for a cleaning and examination, and they can experience some of the same issues that you can. They also have their own unique oral health needs that come with growing up, so be sure to keep them on a positive schedule of prevention.

When Was Their Last Checkup?

If you are struggling to remember, then it’s probably time to call their provider. Children have a similar schedule of checkups as adults, usually requiring a visit to the dentist every six months. These appointments help them to keep up with their smile, and they’re also a great source of oral health education.

You see, nobody is born with an innate knowledge of how to properly brush and floss. While they learn, it’s up to you to manage their smile for them, and that means sticking to their schedule of cleanings and examinations. We’re here to help, so be sure that you take the time to teach them to care for their oral health needs alongside a trusted, local pediatric dentist.

While You Wait, Bacterial Buildup Could Pose Problems

Just like in your smile, children are susceptible to some serious dental concerns when they skip their meetings for cleanings and examinations. Bacterial buildup of plaque and tartar can lead to tooth decay or gingivitis if ignored, so their checkups are an integral part of their smile maintenance. That means that when you hold back on scheduling their biannual checkups, you put them at real risk.

When they come into our office, they have the chance to experience a fresher, cleaner smile. Keep them on track with checkups every six months. Don’t wait!
