A thorough exam is vital to safeguarding your child’s oral health. During your child’s dental exam, our dentist will assess:
- General health and growth
- Pain
- Extraoral soft tissue
- Emporomandibular joint (TMJ)
- Intraoral soft tissue
- Oral hygiene and periodontal health
- Intraoral hard tissue
- Developing occlusion
- Caries risk
- Behavior
Dr. Christine Wang knows that these regular checkups are one of the most important ways to protect your child’s teeth and their overall oral health. During your child’s appointment at Redmond Ridge Pediatric Dentistry, our dentist will take a close look at your child’s smile and even suggest taking digital X-rays. We use low-radiation, digital imaging at our office for safer treatment. In addition to examining their smile, our dentist will also clean and polish your child’s teeth, removing traces of tarter, plaque and food debris. To best protect their dental health, bring children in at least every six months. Children with orthodontics or other dental issues may need to visit our dentist more often. To plan a dental checkup in Redmond, Washington, for your child, phone our pediatric dental office at 425-284-9884. We will be happy to help you arrange a visit with our qualified pediatric dentist.
