Children, like adults, should see the dentist at least twice a year for preventive care. That said, many kids could benefit from more frequent visits, especially those who have been prone to developing cavities in the past.
Bi-annual cleanings help give your dentist an opportunity to remove any calcified tartar buildup, while also checking for potential problems. If you schedule your kids’ next appointments over summer, you could likely schedule their follow-up visits over fall or winter breaks, in order to continue the tradition of great preventive care without missing school.
Of course, to keep your kids’ smiles healthy while they’re home for the summer, you should make sure they are brushing and flossing on a daily basis. For many kids and teens, summer schedules mean sleeping later and staying in more. This shouldn’t be an excuse to skip out on key dental hygiene, though, so make sure the whole family keeps up their preventive care.
