After the exam, the dentist or hygienist will discuss your child's oral health, including your child's risk of tooth decay, other oral health concerns, and preventive measures you can take to improve and protect your child's oral health.

The dentist or hygienist will also recommend when to return for a follow-up visit — typically every six months. If your child is at high risk of tooth decay or has other oral health concerns, more-frequent checkups might be suggested.
