Routine dental cleanings are a key part of keeping your child’s teeth healthy and their smile sparkling. Regular dental cleanings for kids help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Whether it’s your child’s first visit or a follow-up check-up, our pediatric dental team is here to ensure their dental health stays on track.

Why Are Dental Cleanings Important for Kids?

Routine cleanings are more than just a cleaning session—it’s about laying the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Keeping up with regular dental visits helps prevent plaque buildup, cavities, and other dental problems. Plus, it’s a great way to get your child familiar with the dentist’s office early on!

How A Dental Cleaning For Kids Help Your Child’s Teeth

A professional cleaning goes beyond what regular brushing can do. It’s designed to:

  • Remove plaque and tartar: Plaque is a sticky film that can turn into tartar, which only a dental professional can remove.
  • Protect against cavities: Routine cleanings help reduce the chances of cavities forming by keeping harmful bacteria at bay.
  • Strengthen gums: Healthy gums are just as important as healthy teeth. Cleaning helps remove bacteria that can lead to gum disease.

Dental Cleanings Help Prevent Bigger Issues

Routine cleanings are vital for spotting issues before they become serious. Whether it’s identifying cavities early in need of fillings or restorative treatments, or recommending orthodontic care, regular cleanings help protect your child’s smile in the long run.

Making Kids’ Dental Visits Fun

We know that kids may feel nervous about visiting the dentist, especially if it’s your child’s first dental appointment, so we take extra steps to make the experience enjoyable. From the moment they walk in, our friendly team ensures your child feels comfortable. We’ll even take the time to educate your little one about good oral hygiene practices—turning the visit into a fun, learning experience!

How Often Should You Schedule Routine Cleanings?

For optimal dental health, we recommend scheduling a routine cleaning every six months. This allows us to monitor your child’s oral health, apply fluoride treatments, and spot any potential problems early.

A Positive Start to Healthy Habits

Starting regular cleanings early helps instill good oral hygiene habits. Routine visits set the tone for your child’s dental health, ensuring they understand the importance of brushing, flossing, and eating healthy to maintain their smile.

Dr Benichou has been taking care of my 3 children for many years. (over 14 years). She is not only very gentle and friendly but also very professional and efficient. She always takes the time to explain what she is going to do to put the children at ease and she manages to make them fully cooperative regardless of what she needs to do : check up, cleaning, taking care of cavities, you name it ! My children are always looking forward to their appointment and I am very pleased with the care they receive with Dr Benichou. We highly recommend her and we fully trust her. Her practice is very friendly and impeccable.

Outside of friends and family, Dr. Benichou is probably the longest-lasting presence in our (now 11 y.o.) child's life. She's the best. We couldn't imagine going to anyone else!

Dr Benichou is an exceptional dentist, I bring my 3 kids to her practice and they love going there because how nice she is! She takes her time with patients, is super gentle and sweet with kids and her facility is always super clean with the latest technology. The fact that she speaks multiple language is super important as my kids are more comfortable in a French speaking environment. Truly the best!
