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.
