One of the most important treatments our pediatric dentists and team provide are dental cleanings and exams. When your child visits our office for their regular appointments, we will provide them with a thorough dental cleaning and checkup to help keep their mouth and smile healthy. This appointment will consist of:

• Removing any plaque or tartar from their teeth.
• Flossing and polishing their teeth.
• Examining their teeth and mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease or other problems.
• Taking dental X-rays as needed.

We recommend that you bring your child in for a dental cleaning and exam every six months, though we may recommend more frequent visits depending on your child’s oral health needs. This regular preventive care will help your child maintain good oral health and learn good oral habits, as well as allowing our pediatric dentists to monitor your child’s oral growth and development. It will also allow us to diagnose and treat any developing problems in the earliest stages of development. We also encourage you to contact us as soon as possible if your child has a dental emergency or experiences any kind of dental pain or injury.
