The Key to Healthy Smiles
Dental cleanings and exams are an essential part of maintaining your child’s oral health, and regular visits to receive these treatments can help prevent serious damage to your child’s smile in the future. During these routine visits, our pediatric dentists and team focus on both prevention and early detection of any potential dental issues. By bringing your child in for regular cleanings and exams, you are taking important steps to ensure their smile stays healthy as they grow.
What to Expect During a Cleaning & Exam
During a dental cleaning, we will carefully remove any plaque and tartar that have built up on your child’s teeth. Plaque and tartar can lead to cavities and gum disease, so it is important to remove them before they cause harm. In addition, we will floss and polish your child’s teeth, helping them maintain a bright and healthy smile.
The dental exam is equally important. Our team will carefully examine your child’s teeth, gums and mouth for signs of decay, cavities or other potential issues. We may also use digital X-rays to get a more detailed look at areas that are not visible during the exam. This allows us to catch and treat issues early before they become more serious problems.
It is recommended that children visit the dentist for cleanings and exams every six months. In some cases, more frequent visits may be necessary depending on your child’s specific needs. Regular visits not only help maintain their oral health but also allow them to become comfortable with dental care, fostering a positive attitude toward their dental hygiene.
Emergency Dental Visits
If your child experiences any pain, injury or dental emergency, it is important to contact us as soon as possible to prevent further complications. We are committed to providing the highest level of care for your child’s smile and look forward to helping them maintain excellent oral health.
