It's recommended to schedule your child's first teeth cleaning soon after their first tooth appears, typically around their first birthday. That's right, it's important to look after baby teeth too! Regular kids teeth cleaning is crucial for preventing cavities and maintaining overall oral health from a young age.

Generally, children should have their pediatric dental exam and cleaning every six months. However, depending on your child's individual needs, our team might suggest a different schedule to best maintain their oral health and prevent conditions like tooth decay. 

Signs such as tooth sensitivity, pain, difficulty chewing, or visible cavities might indicate that your child needs more than just a regular exam and cleaning, and proactive steps will need to be taken to tackle potential problems.

During their visit, we assess all aspects of your child's oral health to recommend any additional treatments if needed. If your child does require additional treatment, we will guide you through the process step by step to ensure you are comfortable and that your child receives the best treatment.
