The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visits to the dentist at least once every six months for a professional exam and cleaning.
Regular dental visits are necessary for the maintenance of healthy gums and teeth.
Your dentist may recommend more frequent visits, depending on the status of your oral health.
When one or more teeth are missing, the remaining teeth can shift out of position, which can lead to a change in your bite, the loss of additional teeth, decay and gum disease.

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends an orthodontic screening for children by the age of 7 years.
At age 7 the teeth and jaws are developed enough so that the dentist or orthodontist can see if there will be any serious bite problems in the future.
Most of the time treatment is not necessary at age 7, but it gives the parents and dentist time to watch the development of the patient and decide on the best mode of treatment.
When you have time on your side you can plan ahead and prevent the formation of serious problems.

If the procedure was in the lower jaw the tongue, teeth, lip and surrounding tissue will be numb or asleep.
If the procedure was in the upper jaw the teeth, lip and surrounding tissue will be numb or asleep.
Often, children do not understand the effects of local anesthesia, and may chew, scratch, suck, or play with the numb lip, tongue, or cheek.
These actions can cause minor irritations or they can be severe enough to cause swelling and abrasions to the tissue.
Monitor your child closely for approximately two hours following the appointment.
