cleaning and exams

Why see a children's dentist?

​

Pediatric dentists recommend biannual hygiene exams and cleanings for children to maintain their oral health. These preventive visits aim to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, even if the child still has their baby teeth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry emphasizes the importance of focusing on overall dental health for children.

What is involved in a dental exam?

​

During these visits, we may take select or mouth radiographs depending on your child's growth and development stage. This helps us monitor their teeth and gums closely and treat any issues early on. Our goal is to make these enjoyable and informative, and ensure that your child leaves with clean and shiny teeth. Additionally, we use this opportunity to discuss homecare and diet, which are the two main factors that contribute to a healthy smile
