Routine Pediatric Dental Cleanings at Merrimack Smiles
At Merrimack Smiles, we are committed to ensuring your child’s oral health through routine pediatric dental cleanings. Regular cleanings not only help keep your child’s smile bright but also play a crucial role in preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Our gentle and experienced dental team creates a fun, comfortable environment to ensure that children feel at ease during their visits.
Why Are Pediatric Dental Cleanings Important?
Regular pediatric dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing and flossing might miss. Cleanings help:
- Prevent cavities by keeping teeth free from decay-causing bacteria.
- Protect gums from inflammation and disease.
- Support healthy growth of permanent teeth by maintaining optimal oral hygiene.
The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist every six months for cleanings and check-ups to promote strong and healthy teeth.
What to Expect During a Pediatric Dental Cleaning
During a routine pediatric dental cleaning at Merrimack Smiles, your child will receive:
- Comprehensive Exam – We’ll check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other potential issues.
- Gentle Cleaning – Our hygienist will remove plaque and tartar buildup, followed by a thorough polishing for a sparkling clean smile.
- Fluoride Treatment – To strengthen your child’s teeth and prevent cavities, we offer fluoride treatments as part of their cleaning visit.
- Education on Oral Hygiene – We’ll show your child how to properly brush and floss their teeth to maintain good oral health at home.
How Routine Pediatric Cleanings Benefit Your Child
- Cavity Prevention: Regular cleanings eliminate harmful bacteria and plaque, reducing the risk of cavities.
