Professional Cleanings
Gentle, Thorough Dental Cleanings
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can't reach, keeping your child's teeth healthy and their smile sparkling.
What to Expect During a Cleaning
Plaque and Tartar Removal
Using specialized instruments, our dental hygienist gently removes plaque and hardened tartar from all tooth surfaces, especially along the gumline and between teeth where cavities often start.
Professional Polishing
We polish teeth with a special paste that removes surface stains and leaves teeth feeling smooth and clean. Many children enjoy choosing their favorite flavor of polishing paste!
Flossing Demonstration
We thoroughly floss between each tooth and use this opportunity to teach proper flossing technique. We show both children and parents the best methods for maintaining healthy gums.
Fluoride Application (Optional)
After cleaning, we can apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel and provide extra protection against cavities. This quick, painless treatment offers benefits that last for months.
Why Regular Cleanings Matter
Prevent Cavities
Regular cleanings remove bacteria and plaque that cause tooth decay, significantly reducing your child's risk of cavities.
Protect Gums
Professional cleanings prevent gum disease by removing plaque along the gumline, keeping gums healthy and pink.
Freshen Breath
Removing bacteria and food particles helps eliminate bad breath, leaving your child's mouth feeling clean and fresh.
Build Healthy Habits
Regular dental visits establish good oral hygiene habits and positive associations with dental care from an early age.
