The purpose of a dental exam is to examine the current condition of the teeth, address any problems or concerns, and provide professional cleaning to ensure the health and longevity of the teeth. A pediatric dental visit will also include the dental practitioner advising the parents on what they can do to improve their child’s oral health and oral hygiene routine.   The professional cleaning will vary depending on your child’s stage of development but most often includes a visual examination, plaque and debris elimination, sealant application, and polishing. Topical fluoride may also be applied to the teeth to safeguard the enamel from acid and staunch mineral loss. In some cases, your dentist may provide your child with take-home fluoride supplements to further protect their teeth, especially if you live in an area where fluoride isn’t added to the communal water supply.  At Bubbles Dental, we excel in making sure that your child’s dental checkups are the fun and happy experiences that they’re meant to be.
