Professional dental cleanings are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health by removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot eliminate. At House of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we understand gentle, thorough dental cleanings are crucial for preventing cavities and gum disease in children. Our skilled dental hygienists use child-friendly techniques and age-appropriate tools to make dental cleanings comfortable and positive experiences for young patients.
House of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics provides comprehensive pulpotomy services designed specifically for children with infected or damaged baby teeth. Our pediatric dentistry team uses proven techniques and high-quality materials to save teeth that might otherwise need extraction. We’re committed to providing comfortable, effective treatment that preserves your child’s natural teeth and maintains proper oral development.
Professional dental cleanings go beyond what can be achieved with home care, providing deep cleaning that removes harmful bacteria and prevents serious dental problems. Our pediatric dental hygienists use specialized techniques designed specifically for children’s developing teeth and gums.
During each cleaning, we carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from all tooth surfaces, including areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing. Plaque constantly forms on teeth, and when you eat or drink anything with sugar, the bacteria present in plaque creates acids that attack your enamel and can form cavities over time. Regular professional cleanings help prevent this process by removing harmful bacteria before they can cause damage. Our team uses age-appropriate tools and techniques to ensure your child’s comfort throughout the cleaning process. We take time to explain each step and help children understand the importance of maintaining clean, healthy teeth.
Professional cleanings also allow us to identify areas where your child may need additional attention with home care, providing personalized guidance to improve their oral hygiene routine.
Removes harmful bacteria and plaque that cause tooth decay when left untreated.
Gentle cleaning prevents gum inflammation and promotes healthy gum tissue development.
Provides opportunities to teach proper oral hygiene techniques tailored to your child's age.
We’ve designed our dental cleaning process to be comfortable and educational for children of all ages. Our team takes time to explain each step and help your child feel confident about their dental care.
The cleaning begins with a gentle examination of your child’s teeth and gums to assess their current oral health status. Our dental hygienist uses specialized pediatric instruments to carefully remove plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces, paying special attention to areas where buildup commonly occurs. We use age-appropriate techniques that are gentle yet thorough, ensuring your child remains comfortable throughout the process. The cleaning includes polishing your child’s teeth with a mild, flavored paste that helps remove surface stains and leaves teeth feeling smooth and clean. We also provide personalized oral hygiene instruction, showing your child proper brushing and flossing techniques for their age and developmental stage.
Following the cleaning, we discuss your child’s oral health with you and provide recommendations for maintaining clean, healthy teeth between visits. This includes guidance on brushing techniques, flossing methods, and dietary choices that support optimal oral health.
Gentle introduction to professional dental care with emphasis on positive experiences.
Comprehensive cleaning with education about proper oral hygiene and cavity prevention.
Thorough cleaning addressing changing oral health needs and lifestyle factors.
While daily brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining oral health, professional cleanings provide benefits that cannot be achieved through home care alone. Understanding the difference helps parents appreciate the importance of regular professional cleanings.
Professional cleanings reach areas that are difficult or impossible to clean at home, including below the gum line and between teeth where cavities commonly develop. Our specialized instruments can remove hardened tartar that regular toothbrushes cannot eliminate. Professional cleanings also provide opportunities for early detection of potential problems that may not be visible to parents during home care routines. Our team can identify areas of concern and provide targeted guidance to address specific oral health needs.
Regular professional cleanings complement home care by providing the deep cleaning necessary to maintain optimal oral health. The combination of consistent home care and professional cleanings provides the best protection against cavities and gum disease.
