It is recommended that you schedule a dental check-up for your child every 6 months. Regular visits are crucial for maintaining the health of your child's growing teeth, as they enable the dentist to identify any early signs of dental issues or decay. Even if you diligently care for your child's teeth at home, there may be underlying problems that are not visible to the naked eye. A dentist can detect and address these issues before they escalate into more serious problems.

Many children can keep their baby teeth until they are 12 years old, as these teeth serve as placeholders for permanent teeth. Losing baby teeth too early can lead to delayed eruption and movement of permanent teeth, increasing the likelihood of them coming in incorrectly and requiring costly orthodontic treatment in the future.

When there is decay in the mouth, bacteria levels are high. As permanent teeth come in, they are exposed to this bacteria and can quickly become decayed. Children with severe cavities may experience pain that affects their eating, focus in school, and quality of sleep. Treating cavities in baby teeth can reduce the risk of developing cavities in permanent teeth, as the main risk factor for cavities is previous decay.
