Children's Dental Exams and Cleanings
Collaboration between the patient, dentist, and dental staff is essential in a preventive program aimed at maintaining the natural teeth and supporting structures by preventing dental diseases. Good oral hygiene and a balanced diet at home are key to preventing dental issues, while regular visits to the dentist and dental hygienist help promote, restore, and maintain oral health.
Regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays, along with sealants and fluoride treatments, are essential for prevention. By taking these steps, you can avoid costly dental issues and maintain a healthy, confident smile.
What To Expect
During your cleaning appointment with our dentists, you can expect a dental examination along with the following procedures:
- Calculus (Tartar) Removal: Hardened plaque that has built up on the tooth surface will be removed using specialized dental instruments.
- Plaque Removal: Nearly invisible, sticky film on the teeth will be removed to prevent gum inflammation and the onset of periodontal disease.
- Teeth Polishing: Stains and plaque left after brushing and scaling will be eliminated.
