Prevention and early diagnosis is a big key step towards good  dental health for years to come.
Recall checkups in most situations every 6 months is the initial step to maintaining a healthy dentition. As we see children every 6 months starting at the age of 4 years old dentitional transitions can be monitored closely. Evaluation of tonsils and adenoids and planning for a healthy occlusion for each unique individual is crucial for a child’s future dental health as well as physical. Early education is important to guide the children in understanding the importance of a healthy dentition and …retaining good oral habits.
As we are a family practice, dental needs for each member is stressed for their individualized stage. Treatment is planned in an ideal but realistic approach. Treatment planning whether involving periodontal care, restorative work or as simple as patient education, all tie into the focus of early diagnosis and prevention.
