Well Child Dental Check
Well Child Dental Checks are an extension of the Well Baby Dental Checks. Once again they are about creating and maintaining Oral Health. As children grow their mouths change and maintaining optimum oral health will change slightly too. Our objectives include:
- Coaching parents and children about slight changes in tooth cleaning techniques as teeth come and go and the mouth grows.
- Coaching parents about dietary influences and challenges that will emerge as the child grows and how to influence them for optimum oral and bodily health.
- Monitoring growth and development and counseling parents about what to expect, how it might influence daily routines, and how and when to intercept undesirable patterns (large overbites or crowded teeth).
- Coaching an appropriate transition from parental responsibility for oral health to the child's responsibility for oral health.
- Creating an understanding within the child about oral health and disease so she/he will be able for a lifetime to make appropriate personal decisions about issues that will influence oral health.
You (and siblings) are invited to participate in all your child's dental visits until such time as your child tells you your presence is no longer necessary.
