Routine Check-ups and Cleanings
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are important in getting your child used to a dental setting, as well as keeping your child’s mouth and teeth healthy.
During the visit, we will examine your child’s teeth, gums, jaw, and bite. If we see any tartar or plaque buildup, we will also perform a cleaning. A motorized brush and some toothpaste will be used to clean and polish the teeth. Finally, a quick fluoride treatment will be given to help protect your child’s teeth. If a fluoride treatment is given, children should avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes.
We will also show your child the proper way to clean and floss their teeth, so that they can get in the habit of proper oral hygiene.
Bringing your child in for routine dental cleanings and check-ups at least twice a year is a great preventative measure that can keep their mouth healthy and happy.
