Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

What frequency of dental visits is recommended for children older than 3?

1. Every 6 months

2. Once a year

3. Every 3 months

4. Only as needed, based on the child's health

The correct answer is: Every 6 months

Regular dental check-ups are important for children to maintain good oral health. While all of the options may seem plausible, option A is the most appropriate recommendation. Visiting the dentist once every 6 months allows for regular monitoring and early detection of any potential dental issues. Option B may not be frequent enough to catch any problems in their early stages. Option C, every 3 months, may be too excessive for children and could potentially lead to over-treatment. Option D, only as needed, may not provide enough consistent care and could result in missed opportunities for preventative care.
