Time For A Back-To-School Checkup?

Posted by

back-to-school checkupYour child needs to see the dentist from time to time, and if they miss these appointments, it can really affect their oral health. They need thorough cleanings of the surface of their teeth and along their gumline at least twice each year in order to remove bacterial biofilm. Also at their appointment, they receive a visual examination and any necessary imagery to make sure that they are on the right path in their dental development. This time of the year is perfect for a refresh, so bring them in for a back-to-school checkup!

With our caring, gentle dental team in Round Rock, TX, your child can have a helping hand as they learn to care for their smile.
