Dental Cleanings

Dental Cleanings

Professional dental cleanings are an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout childhood. During a cleaning, dental plaque and tartar are removed from the teeth, including areas that can be difficult to clean thoroughly with a toothbrush at home. The teeth may then be polished to remove surface buildup and stains.

Children’s dental cleanings are also an opportunity to reinforce good oral hygiene habits. The dental team can provide age-appropriate guidance on brushing, flossing, diet, and other ways parents can help protect their child’s teeth. Regular cleanings can help reduce the risk of cavities and gum problems while helping children become comfortable with routine dental care.
