Dental Cleanings for Kids

Dental cleanings for children are handled differently than for adults. This is why you need a pediatric dentist who understands that a child may not need everything an adult does during a cleaning.

The Exam

The primary reason a dentist wants to see your child for a dental visit is to check if their teeth are coming in correctly. A dentist may get an X-ray if they are concerned about positioning of teeth still below the gums but X-rays aren't needed for every child.

Education

Another primary reason for getting an early start on your child's dental care is to educate them as they grow about properly caring for their teeth. We teach kids how to brush and floss so they can take pride in their smiles.

No Flossing

One way a child's dental visit is different from an adult visit is our hygienist may not floss the child's teeth. That's because they may not need it. Children's teeth tend to have enough space between them that they may not need flossing. They also may not need an instrument to remove plaque and tartar, depending on how well they brush.

Pediatric Dental Cleaning FAQs

What does a child teeth cleaning include in Vaughan?
The most common components of pediatric teeth cleaning are an evaluation, removing any plaque and tartar if necessary, and providing instruction on brushing and flossing the child’s teeth. X-rays may be done, specifically if the dentist is monitoring teeth that are yet to erupt.
How often should a child get teeth cleaning?
The standard recommendation is every six months, but the pediatric dentist may suggest a different interval based on the child’s cavity risk and oral health.
Do children always need flossing during a teeth cleaning?
Not in all cases. There’s often enough space between children’s teeth that flossing or using an interproximal cleaning device may not be necessary in the cleaning.
Are X-rays always necessary during a children’s teeth cleaning visit?
No. X-rays are not part of standard practice. Dentists only take them when they are concerned about the teeth that are unerupted or the gum issues.
How does a pediatric dental cleaning differ from an adult cleaning?
Children’s dental cleaning is less rigorous. They don’t need the full scaling or flossing that adults do. We incorporate dental health education and make the session more interactive to minimize stress.
What should parents do in preparation for a visit for teeth cleaning?
Parents should maintain a positive attitude before the planned visit, enjoy a game of pretend brushing or flossing, pack something soothing or a distraction for the child, and come a bit early to the appointment to settle in. This last point is likely to help reduce any parental and child anxiety.
Can we get a teeth cleaning in a stress-free environment?
We think so. Gentle care and the ability to reduce a child’s fear of the dental office is the hallmark of a pediatric dentist. In addition, we have a comfortable office with plenty of distractions for children.
What makes Kids Dental Studio a good option for teeth cleaning?
At Kids Dental Studio, we focus on creating a pleasant environment with the aim of achieving a positive experience. This is our philosophy, and we believe it is vital in promoting the positive development of proper oral hygiene.
