What Are Pediatric Dental Cleanings?

Regular dental cleanings and exams are crucial for preserving the health of your child’s smile as they grow. Each visit with our team, we will provide a professional cleaning and exam to take care of any potential problems before they become big headaches. We want your child to stay healthy and happy. During your child’s appointment, we will:

  • Clean plaque or tartar (also known as dental calculus) off their teeth, helping to prevent tooth decay and gum disease
  • Polish and floss each tooth for a bright smile
  • Have our dentists carefully examine your child’s smile for any problems

We will also take regular X-rays of your child’s mouth to keep an eye on growing teeth and any potential issues that are not visible to the naked eye. As you bring your child in for their regular cleanings and exams, we will be able to preserve their oral health and provide any needed treatment as early as possible.

How Often Should I Bring My Child In?

Cleanings and exams are typically recommended every six months. This gives us time to see tooth growth and keep an eye on the progression of possible decay or other problems. Of course, every smile is different, and we may suggest more frequent visits to best care for your child. And if your child suffers a dental emergency, we are more than happy to help relieve their pain and discomfort! Contact our office for your next appointment today.
