Treatment Process
A pediatric dental check-up includes a gentle examination of your child's teeth, gums, and oral structures. We'll check for cavities, assess growth and development, and look for any potential issues. We'll clean your child's teeth, apply fluoride if needed, and take X-rays when necessary. We'll also discuss oral hygiene habits, diet, and answer any questions you or your child may have. The visit is designed to be positive and educational.
