Did you know that all kids should see an orthodontist for an initial evaluation by the age of 7?
This is the age the American Association of Orthodontists recommends the first orthodontic screening, and for good reason!
Around age 7, baby teeth are starting to be replaced with permanent teeth and it’s the perfect time to start tracking your child’s jaw growth and development to check for potential problems related to:
- Crowding
- Jaw Misalignment
- Crooked Teeth
- Protruding Teeth
- Facial Imbalance
By keeping tabs on your child’s teeth and jaw movement, your child may be able to avoid more extensive treatment later on such as extractions and surgery!
Dr. Thurman, orthodontist in Bakersfield is super excited to announce his brand new Kids Club called Troop T! Your child can join Troop T and climb the military ranks to earn cool prizes!
