At KidzVil Pediatric Dentistry, we’re proud to offer professional dental cleanings to our patients as a core part of preventive care.
We recommend routine dental cleanings for several reasons. When we perform a professional cleaning, we remove the buildup of plaque and tartar and clean the parts of your child’s teeth that are hard to reach, such as underneath the gums.
After a cleaning, we polish your child’s teeth so they shine. We can also apply a fluoride treatment, if necessary, to help prevent tooth decay.
Next, we perform a thorough examination so we can see how the teeth are doing. This ensures your child doesn’t have any problems that need to be addressed, and it’s our goal to catch and fix any issues before they become bigger ones. We’ll also go over home care to make sure your child has everything they need for optimal oral health.
If your child needs a dental cleaning or you have any questions, feel free to contact us today at (561) 845-7374.
