The American Association of Orthodontics recommends children see an orthodontist before they are seven years old, and Dr. Murphy says there are also some signs and symptoms parents should be aware of regarding their child's oral health that may suggest an orthodontic exam is necessary.

"If a parent is unsure whether or not they should take their child to see an orthodontist they can give us a call to set up an evaluation appointment. The appointment is complimentary and we take full diagnostic records to do a comprehensive exam. If there is something that needs to be done then recommendations will be explained and questions answered. If no treatment is necessary, then the parent knows that their child has been looked at and we will continue complimentary visits twice a year to continue to guide their child's dental development since issues can arise from year to year."
