At the practice of Dr. Ron Hernandez in Fremont, California, our dentists, Dr. Hernandez and Dr. Chisholm, know how vital dental exams are to your child’s health and encourage you to bring your child in every six months. This helps us rule out any undiagnosed oral conditions your child may have, such as a painful tooth or other chronic dental problem.
Children with chronic dental pain may not always tell their parents that something is wrong, often because they don’t know what is happening to them. Untreated dental conditions can lead to difficulty eating, speaking and concentrating, and may result in your child missing school. Sometimes the only sign that your child is suffering might be that your child may appear anxious, depressed or tired.
To assess your child’s oral health, Dr. Hernandez and Dr. Chisholm will evaluate the following:
— Your child’s eating habits.
— How well your child’s teeth are maintained.
— Any past treatment your child has received and what their current needs are.
— Whether your child drinks fluoridated water.
— Any factors that may indicate susceptibility to oral diseases.
Our team will examine your child’s smile for signs of any damaging dental conditions or diseases, and using dental X-rays to further evaluate your child’s smile, will make sure your child receives the dental care they need.
Dr. Hernandez and Dr. Chisholm recommend bringing your child in every six months for a routine dental exam. If your child hasn’t had a dental exam recently, please call our experienced team in Fremont, California at 510-248-4847 to help your child prepare for a healthy, successful school year!
