The importance of regular checkups, from Drs. Ressler, Lelchuk and Hirschl

Is your child brushing his/her teeth twice a day? If yes, that’s fantastic! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for your child to visit our office every six months in addition to brushing their teeth a couple times a day. If your child will be visiting Drs. Ressler, Lelchuk or Hirschl for the first time, it’s important to bring them in after their first tooth comes through, and no later than their first birthday. Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. Drs. Lelchuk, Hirschl and Ressler can:

• Check for problems that might not be seen or felt
• Detect cavities and early signs of decay
• Treat oral health problems early
• Show your child how to properly brush and floss their teeth

During an oral exam our doctors will check the health of your child’s mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If your child has not been to visit Drs. Ressler, Lelchuk or Hirschl in the last six months, it’s time for you to schedule an appointment!
