Dental Cleanings
Prophylaxis
Dental cleanings (prophylaxis) consist in the removal of plaque and calculus and in polishing and removing all stains from the child’s teeth.
Cleanings are performed with the supervision of a Pediatric Dentist depending on each child’s need. By the age of 3, cleanings are included in each check up. They are normally scheduled every 6 months to prevent excessive plaque buildup and take about 30-25 minutes. This will prevent the development of future gum problems. Since every infant, child or teen is assessed individually first by a Pediatric Dentist, children younger than 3 may also present plaque and calculus, and if that is the case, a cleaning will also be performed. Tooth cleaning, polishing and fluoride treatments are all part of your child’s prevention program recommended by any of our Pediatric Dentist.
