Dental Hygiene/Periodontal Health

In addition to the meticulous cleaning, polishing, and examination of your child's teeth, we also take the time to help them develop proper oral hygiene habits at home. We will evaluate your child's hygiene techniques and make adjustments to their routine where needed. Our doctors and hygienists will also make suggestions for preventative measures such as dental sealants, mouth washes or fluoride supplements.

Oral Cancer Screenings

During a dental exam, the doctor will check your child's neck and oral tissues for lumps, red or white patches or recurring sore areas.

Screening for early changes in the oral tissue can help detect cancer at a stage when it can be more successfully treated.

Six month recare visits

In order to maintain your child's dental health in the optimum condition and to reinforce the home care techniques we have taught them previously, it is vital that we see your child every six months.

Past history has shown that patients who get out of the routine of regular recare visits, have more dental problems and frequently do not get back on track with their regular dental care.
