Cleanings & Exams for Kids

Regular Dental Visits

Children should visit the dentist at least every six months to help prevent problems from developing, and to catch and treat those that are already developing early.

During the cleaning, the dental hygienist will remove debris and bacteria that builds up on the teeth and along the gum line to help prevent cavities and gum disease. 

During the exam, the pediatric dentist will closely examine your child's smile and assess any changes in their oral health. The pediatric dentist is also trained to assess orthodontic problems and suggest treatment options to guide the teeth as they emerge into the mouth.
