Dental Checkups
Dental Exam and Routine Dental Cleaning for Your Kids’ Oral Health
Maintaining good oral health requires regular dental checkups, especially among children. By letting your kids visit the dentist every six months for a dental exam, their dentist can maintain your child’s healthy teeth and gums and spot the early warning signs of diseases and irregular growth.
At Kids Care Dental, we provide our young patients with safe and comfortable facilities that make every trip to the dentist as pleasant as possible. Our dental checkup services include a routine dental cleaning to prevent plaque and a quick dental examination from spotting any areas of concern.

What Goes On During a Routine Dental Examination?
Routine dental exams for children are a fairly quick appointment. Our dentists want to ensure your child’s general oral health is within an acceptable range, so they check your child’s teeth and gums for any warning signs. We also consider your child’s dental history to get a clear picture of their oral health.
If there aren’t any signs of decay and oral disease around the teeth, gums, jaw, and mouth, your child is good to go! We perform a quick routine dental cleaning to remove bits they might have missed from hard-to-reach areas.
Why Does Your Child Need Dental Checkups?
A regular dentist check up is a must for both children and adults. By scheduling a dental exam for your child every six months, you can protect your child from the following:
- Plaque and tartar buildup that requires additional dental treatment to remove
- Developing holes and cavities around the teeth
- Gum disease and oral infections, which could lead to discomfort and even tooth loss
A dental exam not only spots warning signs for oral diseases but it gives dentists an overview of your child’s dental habits. Practices like eating and drinking too much sugar and acidic food, teeth grinding, or thumb sucking can affect the state of your child’s teeth, and our dentists can spot the early signs before they lead to long-term complications.
What Happens If You Spot an Issue with My Child’s Oral Health?
In case something pops up during your child’s dental checkup, our dentists may recommend additional treatment. Fortunately, Kids Care Dental is your one-stop facility for comprehensive pediatric dental services that can address your child’s dental needs.
Our state-of-the-art facilities mean you won’t have to go anywhere else for your child’s treatment. Whether for X-rays, tooth extractions, oral surgery, or other services, we make it our mission to ensure each procedure is as comfortable for your child as possible.
At Kids Care Dental, we understand that the dentist’s office isn’t every child’s favorite place in the world. Our staff has taken steps to create welcoming spaces as soon as they enter our clinics. From our waiting areas that provide fun and games to the friendly staff well-trained to handle kids of all ages, we ensure your child’s experience towards better oral health is pleasant.
