Exam and Cleaning for Children in Simsbury
Invest in Your Child’s Lifelong Smile
Regular dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of your child’s oral health. By scheduling visits every six months, you can prevent minor issues from becoming painful, costly problems down the road.
What to Expect During a Visit:
- Professional Cleaning: Our hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar and provide a professional brushing.
- Comprehensive Exams: Using specialized instruments and X-rays, our pediatric dentist checks for cavities, structural concerns, and signs of gum disease.
- Preventative Treatments: We offer topical fluoride gels to strengthen enamel and dental sealants to provide a protective barrier against acid and bacteria.
- Education: We teach children proper brushing and flossing techniques to empower them as their permanent teeth begin to emerge (typically between ages 6 and 13).
When Should Kids Start?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit within six months of the first tooth appearing—usually by age one. Early visits are vital, as even milk contains sugars that can affect developing teeth.
