How often should your youngster receive a dental check-up?
You’ve probably heard that most men and women need a dental check-up every six months. This is a good schedule for children as well. In some cases, however, a person should see a dentist more frequently. Regardless of their age.
If your child has a higher risk for dental problems, we advise you to bring them every four months.
Amy Horton, DDS, of The Carrollton Dentist in Carrollton is accepting new pediatric patients. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist, we invite you to meet our team.

Dental visits should begin when your little one’s first tooth appears—usually before twelve months of age. Let’s work together to make sure your child has a healthy, happy smile.
