Dental Exam in Windermere

Most people know that regular dental exams are almost as important as brushing and flossing. Having a pediatric dentist from Parkview Kids Dental & Orthodontics in Windermere examine your child’s teeth can help to identify problems early and prevent larger dental issues.

The good news is that taking your child to the dentist for an exam is a routine procedure that will help to prevent cavities and other problems.

During their appointment, our welcoming dental experts will have your child sit in an examination chair where they’ll perform a visual examination of your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth. They will likely take x-rays of your child’s teeth, particularly if it’s a first time visit, or if there are any causes for concern.

After assessing your child’s mouth and reviewing any x-rays, our pediatric dentist will discuss any issues with you, and whether there’s a need for follow-up treatments. At the end of the visit and on your way out, our friendly front office staff will be happy to schedule your child’s next appointment.

During a pediatric dental exam, our pediatric dentist will check the condition of your child’s teeth and gums. But they also look for other issues that may be present.

This includes examining the condition of the tongue, looking for infections, or even finding lesions that might be signs of more serious problems, like cancer.

A visit to their dentist is not only crucial for the health of your child’s teeth, but for their oral hygiene and overall health.

Many people assume that waiting to see a dental professional until a need arises is wise, but the exact opposite is true. Dental health concerns will not resolve themselves over time and the longer you wait to have your child’s teeth cared for, the more likely they are to experience pain. They will also be more likely to require more in-depth and potentially costly corrective dental services.

Keep in mind that when it comes to oral health, prevention really is always better than cure, and a checkup today could save you and your child a lot of trouble in the future!
