Routine cleanings help prevent cavities and keep teeth healthy. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children visit the dentist six months after their first tooth appears or by their first birthday. Regular dental cleanings should begin by age three, with checkups scheduled every six months to keep their teeth in good condition.
Children with higher risks of cavities or other dental concerns may need more frequent visits. Regular checkups allow us to catch potential issues before they become bigger problems.
At Elements Dental Spa, we make every cleaning gentle, thorough, and stress-free. Our team explains each step to help kids feel comfortable and involved.
Here’s what happens during a kids’ dental cleaning:
We use kid-friendly language and a calm approach to make each visit a positive experience.
Routine cleanings do more than just keep teeth clean. They help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other problems that could lead to discomfort or costly treatments later on.
Here’s why cleanings are beneficial:
Starting good dental habits early can save time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
Keeping cavities away involves a combination of good habits at home and professional dental care. Here are some simple ways to help protect your child’s teeth:
Following these steps will help keep your child’s teeth healthy and cavity-free for years to come.
Even with daily brushing, some areas of the teeth are harder to clean, especially the deep grooves in molars. Dental sealants provide extra protection by sealing these grooves, keeping out food and bacteria.
Sealants are a quick, painless treatment that helps prevent cavities for up to ten years. Our dentist may recommend sealants for children as soon as their permanent molars come in, usually around ages six and twelve.
Fluoride is a proven method to prevent cavities by strengthening tooth enamel and reversing early signs of decay. We offer fluoride treatments during regular cleanings to give your child’s teeth extra protection.
Fluoride treatments are safe, fast, and effective, making them an easy way to support long-term oral health.
At Elements Dental Spa, we believe dental visits should be positive and relaxing for every child. Our team works with children of all personality types, from kids who love the dentist to those who feel nervous.
