Oral Health Education

Parent Communication

Why two dental check-ups a year?
Early Detection
Regular six-month check-ups allow dentists to identify and address dental issues in their early stages, preventing more serious problems and potentially costly treatments down the line.
Consistent Oral Health Maintenance
Bi-annual visits ensure thorough professional cleanings, removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss. This helps maintain optimal oral health and prevents gum disease.
Tracking Dental Development
For children and adolescents, twice-yearly check-ups enable dentists to monitor tooth development, alignment, and growth patterns. This allows for timely interventions if orthodontic issues arise and ensures proper dental maturation.
