Gentle Cleanings for Growing Smiles

Children’s teeth are just as important as adult teeth. Regular cleanings help:

Prevent plaque and tartar buildup
Protect baby teeth from early decay
Support healthy gum development
Reinforce good brushing habits
Spot small issues before they become big problems

We make the experience easy and positive, helping kids feel comfortable and confident during every visit.

What to Expect During Your Child’s Cleaning

Every child’s appointment includes a gentle, thorough cleaning and a whole lot of encouragement.

1. Friendly Welcome

We greet your child with a smile and take time to help them feel relaxed. We explain everything in simple, kid-friendly terms.

2. Gentle Plaque & Tartar Removal

Using soft tools and gentle techniques, our hygienists carefully clean your child’s teeth—focusing on areas that are hard to reach with a toothbrush at home.

3. Polishing

We gently polish the teeth to remove surface stains and leave your child’s smile feeling smooth and clean.

4. Oral Hygiene Tips

We’ll go over brushing and flossing techniques, and show your child (and you) how to care for their teeth between visits.

5. Fluoride (Optional)

We may recommend a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel and help prevent future cavities.

If your child needs X-rays or an exam with the dentist, we’ll take care of that too—usually during the same visit.

Why Regular Cleanings Matter

Cleanings every 6 months help protect your child from:

Tooth decay
Gum irritation
Early tooth loss
Pain or infection

They also help your child build a strong, positive relationship with dental care from an early age—making future visits easier for everyone.

A warm, kid-friendly environment

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child get their first cleaning?

We recommend cleanings begin around age 3, or sooner if your child is comfortable. Earlier visits help prevent problems and get kids used to the dental chair.
