Experience Thorough Dental Care for Your Child’s Grin

If you practice good oral care routines at home with your child, like brushing twice a day and flossing at least once, you are building a habit they will continue into their adult years. However, that won’t be enough to stay ahead of any dental care problems. That’s why it’s necessary to bring your child to us for cleanings and exams twice a year. Here is how it will work:

  • First, we will perform a quick oral exam of your child’s mouth and begin cleaning their teeth to remove plaque and tartar.
  • We’ll follow it up by brushing their teeth with a high-powered brush and flossing to remove any remaining food particles and debris.
  • Afterward, we will use special dental tools to check for cavities, gum disease, and other signs of potential oral health issues. We’ll even screen for oral cancer.
  • If necessary, and with your permission, we will perform an X-ray to take a closer look at any signs of cavities or infection. If any further action is necessary, we’ll work with you on developing a treatment plan to restore your child’s smile.

For cleanings and exams in Littleton, call us today at 720-615-6087 to schedule an appointment or schedule one online. Make sure you take advantage of our new patient special, so your child (ages 4+) can receive a cleaning, exam, and two X-rays for only $109. You can also sign up for our membership plan for savings on our treatments.

FAQs About Cleanings

Q: At what age should my child start getting dental cleanings?

Your child should have their first dental cleaning by age one or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early cleanings help establish good oral hygiene habits and allow the dentist to detect any potential issues early.

Q: Are pediatric dental cleanings different from adult cleanings?

Yes, pediatric cleanings are gentler and shorter, typically lasting 20-30 minutes compared to adult cleanings. The dental hygienist uses child-sized instruments and takes extra care to make the experience comfortable and less intimidating.

Q: What happens during a pediatric dental cleaning?

The hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish the teeth, and may apply fluoride treatment. The dentist will also examine your child’s teeth, gums, and overall oral development.

Q: How can I prepare my child for their first dental cleaning?

Read books about dental visits, practice opening their mouth wide, and explain that the dentist helps keep their teeth healthy and strong. Staying positive and calm yourself will help your child feel more comfortable.

Q: Is it normal for my child to be nervous about dental cleanings?

Yes, it’s completely normal for children to feel anxious about dental visits. Most pediatric dental offices are designed to be kid-friendly with toys, games, and staff trained to work with anxious children to make the experience positive.
