Important Checkups & Cleanings in Rowlett, TX

Maintaining good oral health over the years doesn’t just help your teeth – it benefits your overall wellbeing and quality of life as well. That’s why Dr. Tera Pollock emphasizes the importance of regular checkups and cleanings to her young patients and their parents whenever she can. By being able to take a look at growing smiles on a regular basis, our Rowlett, TX team can better understand their needs and identify potential problems right away. Additionally, while children are being seen by Dr. Pollock, their parents can visit Rowlett Dental Associates! Please don’t hesitate to contact Rowlett Dental Kids today to schedule a first appointment for your son or daughter, or if you have any questions.

Comprehensive Checkups

During your child’s regular six-month checkup, Dr. Pollock will take a close look at every aspect of their smile, including each individual tooth (“baby” or permanent), their gum tissue, their bite, their jaw, and any current restorative work like fillings. Our team will also capture digital X-rays in order to reveal any potential problems that might not be noticeable to the naked eye. Once we have all this important information, the last step is for Dr. Pollock to sit down with you (the parent) and explain her findings, recommending any treatment she deems necessary.

Refreshing Dental Cleanings

In addition to checkups, it’s very important for children to undergo a hygiene appointment at regular intervals. Even a good oral hygiene routine at home needs a little extra help from professionals now and then, especially since plaque (a sticky, bacteria-filled substance) is constantly forming on tooth and gum surfaces. An in-depth cleaning at Rowlett Dental Kids can get rid of these dangerous areas before they start creating cavities, as well as leave little smiles bright and polished. We may also recommend the application of fluoride for patients from Garland, TX and surrounding areas.
