What should happen at a 11 year old child’s every 6 months cleaning appt?
There have been a few posts recently regarding what should be expected at a regularly scheduled pediatric appt (the every 6 month appt approved by most insurance wtc). I have had some troubling appts with my own kids where there is basically very little cleaning done.
I understand X-rays only happen 1x a year unless otherwise neccessary (cavity etc).
Aside from xray, what should happen at, say, an 11 year old’s appt? How long should it take? I ask this because when I go to the dentist as an adult, I get a full cleaning by a hygienist where they use the water in my mouth and the suction thing, then polish teeth etc. should this same thing happen with an 11 to 16 year old child?
