What are Cleanings & Exams?

Cleanings and exams are essential components of maintaining your child’s oral health. During a routine dental cleaning, we remove plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. A dental exam follows, where we thoroughly inspect your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of problems, such as cavities, misalignment, or oral health issues. These appointments are an opportunity to catch and treat problems early, ensuring your child’s smile stays healthy and bright.
