Children’s Cleanings & Exams

Preventive Care for Children

Preventive care is one of the simplest and most effective ways to ensure your child’s teeth grow in strong and healthy. Teaching proper brushing techniques early and providing the right tools helps build lifelong habits that support excellent oral health well into adulthood.

Most children benefit from two professional cleanings each year, though kids at higher risk for cavities may require more frequent visits.

During a checkup, your child’s hygienist will clean their teeth and, if needed, take x-rays and provide a fluoride treatment. The dentist will then perform a thorough exam and discuss whether any additional treatment is necessary.
