Cleanings For Kids
Professional cleanings performed by Dr. Castle and team are important to your child's dental health as well as daily brushing and flossing. Using specialized tools and kid-friendly language, we will:
| • |
Remove plaque build-up from the surfaces of teeth. (Bacteria in the mouth form plaque, which collects on teeth and causes decay, gum disease, and gingivitis.) |
| • |
Remove tartar from teeth surfaces. (Tartar, or calculus, is plaque that has become so hardened on the teeth that its removal requires special procedures. Tartar below the gum line is also an indicator of gum disease, and generally appears on older children and adults.) |
| • |
Remove surface stains from teeth through polishing. |
| • |
Help with brushing and flossing techniques, and encouraging healthy eating habits at home to promote good oral development. |
