Your kids seem quite resilient because they are! However, they’re also tiny humans for whom oral health problems are just as possible as they are for mom and dad. So, what to do when your schedule becomes quite jammed up and you think that your kids will fare just fine if you skip their checkups this one time? As far as your Riverside children’s dentist is concerned, it’s time to consider some suggestions and schedule that visit!

To Avoid Sudden Trauma

Parents are familiar with the surprise traumas that they never saw coming. One day, your child’s shoes fit and the next morning, somehow, they don’t. One evening, your child is brushing his or her teeth and all is well. The next morning, someone is in excruciating pain out of nowhere! While we cannot help you with the aforementioned growth spurt surprise, we can most certainly assist you with minimizing unexpected oral health issues. Of course, your Riverside children’s dentist explains, we do this by reminding you to schedule checkups. When we closely monitor growing smiles, we can find those culprits that lead to discomfort and problems before they have time to wreak havoc!

To Catch Unexpected Changes

Maybe your child’s smile is very healthy. However, his or her dental filling partially falls out. Let’s rely on this example to guide you through why seeing us for checkups consistently is so important. If your Riverside children’s dentist sees your child every six months, we will see the damage, treat it, and the tooth will be safe. However, if it’s about a year between visits, this gives the area time for decay to begin and even for infection to occur.
