Meet Dr. Adam Raudebaugh
Dr. Adam Raudebaugh is passionate about helping children develop healthy oral habits early. His calm, gentle approach makes kids feel at ease during their dental visits. With years of experience treating patients of all ages, Dr. Raudebaugh emphasizes preventive care, education, and patient comfort.
Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit or they’re coming in for regular checkups, Dr. Raudebaugh is committed to making each appointment a positive one.
How Often Should Your Child See the Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children have their first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first. After that, children should visit the dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings.
Why Are Regular Dental Visits So Important?
Regular pediatric dental visits help:
- Prevent tooth decay and cavities
- Monitor growth and development of the mouth and jaw
- Ensure proper brushing and flossing techniques
- Detect habits like thumb sucking or teeth grinding early
- Create a foundation of trust and comfort with dental care
- Promote lifelong oral health habits
Even baby teeth play a vital role in your child’s health. They help with speech development, proper chewing, and holding space for permanent teeth. Preventing issues early helps avoid costly and painful treatments later.
What to Expect at Your Child’s Dental Visit
During your child’s visit to Dental Associates Orland Park, we’ll:
- Gently clean your child’s teeth and remove plaque or tartar
- Check for cavities, gum issues, or developmental concerns
- Take necessary X-rays in a safe, kid-friendly environment
- Offer fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
- Discuss nutrition and oral hygiene best practices with you

We’re always happy to answer questions and help you and your child feel confident about their dental care.
