Spotting Jaw discrepancy & Irregular Teeth ArrangementIf the upper and lower jaws don’t line up right, it’s best to find this out while a child is still growing. Intercept the issue early by interceptive orthodontic treatment & can fix these before they become more serious.

Catching cavities as soon as they developWhen cavities are found early, they can be treated quickly with simple composite fillings. This helps keep most of your natural tooth intact & strong. If cavities aren’t caught early, you might need more bigger treatments like root canals or crowns later on.

Also, by regular professional teeth cleaning and scaling, gum disease can be prevented completely.

HOW FREQUENT SHOULD A ROUTINE CHECK-UP BE DONE?

Every 6 months is an ideal time for routine dental check-up.

Skipping appointments for routine dental check-ups because things seem “fine” can lead to a drastically higher loss & cost of dental care, especially in children, whose enamel (outermost layer of tooth) is thinner and can decay at rapid speed.

If nothing is wrong, you & me would be happiest & we want to help you keep it that way even further!
