How Often Should My Child Visit the Dentist?
Our Fort Worth, TX dentist follows the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommendation that kids should see the dentist at least twice per year for exams and cleanings. We make this easy for kids and parents alike with a flexible schedule and by offering adult dental care, too.
How We Protect Your Child’s Teeth
Our Smile Ninja, Justin Mund, DDS, pays close attention to your child’s dental development at both of our Fort Worth, Texas, dentistry practices. He looks for cavities during exams and on x-rays, ensuring comprehensive care tailored to children's dental needs.
In older children, he focuses on permanent teeth alignment to prevent overcrowding and ensure a straight smile. We often evaluate kids as young as seven for early orthodontics, helping set the foundation for a healthy smile.
Appointments may include professional teeth cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments, and assessments for infant dentistry. Our dentists customize kids' dentistry based on your child’s unique needs. Our goal is to give your child healthy teeth and gums for life, encouraging them to make healthy choices, feel confident about brushing and flossing, and aspire to be a little Smile Ninja!
