5.0from 300+ Google reviewsWhat a checkup covers
A cleaning, a check for decay, and a look at how the adult teeth are arriving.
The orthodontic side of the practice sees the same images, so nothing is taken twice.
Every child, every six months, from the first visit onward. Each exam looks at tooth development, cavities, gum health, bite and jaw growth, and habits such as thumb sucking.
We will talk it through with you at your child’s appointment.

Seven common questions
The hygienist carefully removes the plaque and tartar that brushing misses, then polishes the teeth to lift surface stains. Each cleaning is also a chance to teach brushing and flossing techniques suited to your child’s age.
How the teeth are developing, any existing or developing cavities, gum health, how the teeth bite together, jaw growth, oral habits such as thumb sucking, and early signs of orthodontic problems. Finding these early often prevents more complex treatment later.
Every six months, for a check-up and cleaning. Children at higher risk of cavities may need to come more often. Regular visits prevent problems and catch the ones that do start early.
Comprehensive dental exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, digital X-rays when needed, oral hygiene education, nutritional guidance, growth and bite evaluations, and early cavity detection.
It catches problems while they are small and treatment is simpler: small cavities, enamel defects, gum inflammation, bite concerns, developing orthodontic issues, teeth grinding and changes in oral development. It also lowers the risk of cavities and helps children build healthy habits for life.
Yes, for as long as you want to be. Very young children are examined on your lap.
Ask at the visit. It is the single most common question, and a two-minute demonstration on your own child is worth more than any leaflet.
