Why Regular Cleanings Matter for Kids

Cleanings help stop tooth decay before it starts, reducing the need for fillings or more invasive treatments.

We keep an eye on how your child’s teeth and bite are developing and can catch early issues.

Kids learn the importance of regular care in a fun, encouraging environment.

Frequently
Asked Questions
At what age should kids start dental cleanings?
We recommend starting cleanings around age 3, or earlier if needed. First dental visits usually begin by age 1.
Are cleanings safe for baby teeth?
Yes! Baby teeth need just as much care as adult teeth. Cleanings help prevent decay and support healthy adult tooth development.
What if my child is nervous?
That’s okay! We take time to help kids feel comfortable and move at their pace. Many kids learn to love their visits here.
Do cleanings hurt?
No. Our team is gentle and reassuring. We explain everything before we do it, so there are no surprises.
Is fluoride safe for kids?
Yes. Fluoride is a safe, effective way to strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of cavities when applied by a professional.
Will insurance cover cleanings?
Most dental plans cover two cleanings per year for children. We offer direct billing to keep things simple for your family.
