FAQ

Do children need to have regular dental check-ups every three months?

Yes, it is necessary.
Children grow very quickly, and not only their bodies but also the environment in their mouths change every day. Regular checkups are necessary not only to detect and prevent cavities, but also to check the alignment of teeth and bite, which change as they grow, to prevent oral problems before they occur. Baby teeth are particularly susceptible to cavities, and many cavities can have a negative impact on the permanent teeth that grow in later. Also, poor tooth alignment not only affects the appearance, but also leaves more areas of the teeth to be brushed, making them more susceptible to cavities. Baby teeth are replaced, but once permanent teeth are filed down, they cannot be restored to the same condition.

In order for your child to be able to chew with their own teeth and maintain good eating habits even after they become adults, we recommend that you have them undergo regular checkups every three months from childhood to prevent oral problems.
