Dental Cleaning For Kids

What Is Dental Cleaning?

Professional dental cleaning is a form of preventive dental care (prophylaxis) to prevent cavities and tooth decay. Believe it or not, dental cavities are the most common disease in children, which is why they need special care when it comes to dental cleaning.

Why Do Kids Need A Professional Dental Cleaning?

  • Toothbrushes (especially those labeled for kids) can’t reach the grooves and gaps in the teeth that are the most prone to plaque and tartar. Flossing is never enough to dislodge plaque and tartar completely.

  • Kids under the age of 10 are at the highest risk of developing dental cavities. Without regular check-ups and routine dental cleanings, cavities could be inevitable.

  • Kids consume sugar in large amounts in the form of candies and chocolates. Sugar is the prime agent for dental cavities, which is all the more why kids must get regular dental cleanings.

The Process Includes

  • A physical examination, which would help in understanding the condition of the kid’s teeth.

  • Scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar that have accumulated on the surfaces of the kid’s teeth.

  • Expert brushing and flossing would get rid of any residual plaque and tartar that may have stayed in the mouth from the previous step.

  • Thoroughly rinsing the kid’s mouth to wash away existing germs.

  • A professional fluoride treatment that would prevent cavities in the kid’s teeth for a long time to come, besides strengthening the teeth!
