Promoting strong, healthy teeth in children begins with preventive care. Teaching good brushing habits early and providing the right dental tools lays the foundation for a lifetime of oral health. Most children should visit the dentist for cleanings twice a year, though those more prone to cavities may require more frequent checkups.

During these visits, the dental hygienist will thoroughly clean their teeth, take X-rays if needed, and apply a fluoride treatment. The dentist will then perform a comprehensive exam and recommend any additional care based on your child’s individual needs.
