If my child has braces or another orthodontic device, do they still need dental check-ups every six months?
Yes! In fact, it’s even more important that patients receiving orthodontic treatment visit their dentist regularly. With braces, food may be caught in places that the toothbrush can’t reach. This causes bacteria to build up that can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Your child’s dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.
By having both pediatric dentists and orthodontists under the same roof at Dentistry for Children, our patients benefit from the continuous collaboration of our dental professionals.
