Preventive Care & Cleanings
Regular checkups and professional cleanings to keep your child's smile healthy and catch small issues before they become big problems.
What it is
Preventive care is the foundation of pediatric dentistry. Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone can't address, while checkups allow us to monitor your child's dental development and catch any concerns early. We also provide personalized guidance on home care, diet, and habits that affect oral health.
When it helps
- Every 6 months for routine maintenance
- When you notice buildup on teeth
- To monitor growth and development
- To reinforce good brushing habits
What to expect at ABC Dental
A typical preventive visit includes a thorough cleaning by our hygienist, an examination by the dentist, and fluoride treatment if recommended. We'll check for cavities, assess gum health, and evaluate how your child's teeth are developing. The visit usually takes about 45 minutes.
