Children should always see a dentist before heading back to school in September. As this can cause fear in some, it is a good idea to take a look at what they can expect during a standard appointment.
- The dentist will thoroughly clean the teeth and gums (this is a painless experience).
- The entire mouth will also be examined to make certain that no issues are present.
- X-rays may be taken if an issue is suspected.
