What is a Dental Cleaning?

A dental cleaning is a procedure performed by a dentist or dental hygienist to remove plaque and tartar buildup on teeth. This helps to prevent tooth decay and gum disease and promotes overall oral health.

Why are Cleanings Important for Children?

Regular dental cleanings are important for children to maintain good oral health and prevent tooth decay. Cleanings help to remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities and gum disease. In addition, cleaning allows the dentist to monitor your child's oral health and provide personalized recommendations for maintaining optimal oral hygiene.

What Happens During a Cleaning?

During a dental cleaning, the dentist or dental hygienist will use special instruments to remove plaque and tartar from your child's teeth. The teeth will then be polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth and fresh. The dentist will also examine your child's teeth, gums, and bite to check for any problems and discuss any recommended treatments.
