All parents want what’s best for their families. That statement also rings true for maintaining the health of your child’s smile. When good oral care, including routine dental checkups, start at an early age, the professional team at Smile Care Dental Group can help your little one’s smile remain healthy and strong.
When it comes to your child’s smile, our office takes a proactive approach.
Our goal is to help your child’s smile realize its full potential. Our Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist, Dr. Jessica Saliba, emphasizes the importance of dental prevention and remains dedicated to helping every child establish a strong foundation for good oral health. As a skilled and compassionate provider of care, she knows how to make each visit with your child a positive, informative, and beneficial experience.
The importance of regular checkups and routine care
Studies show that children and teens lose an estimated 51 million school hours yearly to dental problems. To help your child maintain optimal oral health and a healthy and bright smile, our office recommends dental checkups and cleanings twice a year.
We understand all aspects of dental development and are sensitive to the unique needs of children. At each periodic exam, we’ll review your child’s medical and dental history and then perform a thorough clinical assessment of the teeth, gums, jaws, and surrounding oral tissues. We’ll also check your child’s bite, jaw alignment, and function.
Because it’s vital to see what’s going on below the surface, we’ll take digital radiographs as needed to check for the presence of any cavities or infection and to evaluate the position of your child’s developing teeth and the health of the jawbone. We’ll also perform a professional dental cleaning to eliminate any plaque or debris accumulated between the teeth or in hard-to-reach places.
By closely monitoring the health and development of your child’s growing smile, we can treat emerging issues early, help prevent dental disease, and ensure it reaches its full potential.
