Gentle Cleanings for Bright Smiles

Pediatric Dental Exams & Cleanings in East Dallas, TX

Routine Care Provides Great Oral Health

At Lakewood Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics in East Dallas, TX, we understand that regular dental exams and cleanings are among the most important ways to maintain your child’s oral health and prevent future dental issues. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling dental exams and cleanings every six months. Our friendly and experienced team is dedicated to making every visit a positive experience, ensuring your child feels comfortable and secure from the moment they step into our office.

Regular Pediatric Dental Exams

Dental exams are an essential part of preventive health care for children. During a routine visit, our pediatric dentist and their team will:

Thoroughly examine your child’s teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease, and other health problems.
Assess the development of their teeth and jaws, identifying any potential issues with alignment or oral growth.
Review and update your child’s dental health records, keeping track of their progress and any changes in their oral health.

Professional Teeth Cleanings for Children

Professional cleanings complement your child’s daily brushing and flossing routine. Even the most diligent tooth-brushing can’t remove all the plaque and tartar that accumulate over time. During your child’s cleaning, our skilled dental hygienists will:

Remove plaque and tartar buildup from your child’s teeth, especially in places hard to reach with a toothbrush.
Polish their teeth to remove any residual stains and plaque, leaving their teeth clean and refreshed.
Apply fluoride treatment if necessary, to help strengthen the enamel and prevent cavities.

Educating Young Patients on Oral Health

A significant part of each exam and cleaning visit involves educating your child about the importance of good oral hygiene. We use kid-friendly language and demonstrations to teach them effective brushing and flossing techniques. Our goal is to empower your child to take charge of their oral health from a young age.

We know many of our young patients may feel apprehensive about their dental appointments, so we do everything we can to help them think of the dentist’s office as a place they look forward to. Our office is designed to be a warm and inviting space where children can feel at ease. Our team takes extra care to explain each step of the process in a reassuring manner. Regular exams and cleanings are fundamental to your child’s dental health, and we make these visits as enjoyable and educational as possible.
