As they develop, their dental direction develops right along with them. They need to see their oral health provider at least twice each year for cleanings and examinations once their first teeth emerge, and those needs continue through to adulthood and beyond. When you skip these visits, your little ones could start to pick up some bad habits, so it’s important to stick to their schedule. And that means that if they have still not been in for a checkup in 2025, they’re past due.

As they grow, they need to keep up with their oral health needs through consistent brushing and flossing, sticking to their schedule of checkups, and more. Unfortunately, until they are old enough to make their own dental appointments, they rely on you to keep them on the right timeline of treatment. For most kids, the goal is to schedule biannual checkups once every six months, giving their oral health team the chance to check in twice each year. That means that if they’ve not been in yet in 2025, they’re due for some dentistry.

Here at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, we appreciate the opportunity to be a real part of their oral health development story. Without dedicated dental care, they can experience some of the same conditions that adults do, too. Our office knows that, by keeping them to their schedule of biannual checkups, you work to help them avoid tooth decay, periodontal disease, and more, so take the time to schedule their next visit.

Bacterial buildup can cause some real oral health issues. Set a time for their biannual checkup, and let’s talk about ways to keep their smile cleaner.
