Dentistry for Children Q & A
How often should children see the dentist?
Your child’s first dentist appointment should occur either when their first tooth comes in or around their first birthday, whichever comes first. After that, the dentists at v recommend scheduling dental cleanings every six months.
During these appointments, your dentist cleans your child’s teeth discusses any issues. During some visits, the dentist requests X-rays to look for any potential problems, and they may perform preventive services like fluoride treatments.
They may counsel you on things like:
- Nutrition
- Habits, such as thumb-sucking
- Orthodontics
- Oral complications with chronic conditions, such as asthma or diabetes
- Proper oral hygiene for children
Why is fluoride recommended for children?
At Weber Dental Center, the team of highly trained dentists recommends that children take a fluoride supplement if they don’t regularly drink fluoridated tap water, especially children who drink well water or primarily drink bottled water.
