Tips to Help Your Child Prevent Build-Up of Plaque & Cavities

  • Make sure your child brushes their teeth and top surface of the tongue at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. 
  • Make sure your child cleans between teeth by flossing at least once a day. You can also use a mouthwash to help kill bacteria and freshen breath. 
  • Make sure your child eats a balanced diet, including raw vegetables, plain yogurt, cheese, or fruit. 
  • Remember to schedule regular checkups with your dentist every six months for professional teeth cleaning. 

Schedule Your Child’s Dental Appointment 

Dental cleanings aren’t usually painful, but we offer nitrous oxide gas to help if your child has anxiety. Our dentist will examine your child’s teeth and gums for signs of any oral health issues during your child's exam. We will also take X-rays to see if there is anything beneath the surface of the teeth and gums. Our dental hygienists will carefully clean your child’s teeth and remove any hard mineral buildup from the teeth. We will floss and polish the teeth and recommend any additional treatments if needed. Contact us to schedule your child’s appointment.
