Dr. Davis has been our dentist for almost 10 years. Each visit is a pleasant one with lots of smiles and friendly faces. Her team is responsive and caring. She responded to an emergency dental situation over the weekend within 30 minutes, called in a prescription, and saw us first things the next business day. We are more than pleased with Dr. Davis and the Healthy Smiles team!

frisco childrens cleanings

Adults need to see the dentist every six months to have a cleaning done, removing all harmful plaque and tartar. But did you know that starting at age two, kids need the same thing? Cleanings can help protect little smiles, and a visit now is a chance to safeguard their smiles before the hectic holiday season begins. At your Frisco, TX, children’s dental practice, we can protect kids with a dental cleaning!

The Causes of Plaque and Tartar

What causes harmful buildup to accumulate on your child’s teeth? When kids don’t brush and floss properly, this could allow plaque to form and harden with time into tartar. A diet high in sugar, which feeds the harmful bacteria behind the buildup, could be a factor too. Without a professional cleaning to remove it, this can pose a serious risk for your child’s oral health!

Risks for Little Smiles

The buildup can weaken and erode the outer enamel to allow harmful bacteria to reach the sensitive inner dentin, leading to tooth decay. Eventually, the decay will grow and spread until the tooth hurts and the risk of infection or even tooth loss increases. The layers can also irritate and inflame the gums, so the chances of gingivitis forming is much higher. We don’t want your children to develop painful symptoms or risk premature tooth loss and the risk of misalignment, so we will remove the layers with a professional visit.

Cleaning Their Teeth

The procedure only takes a few minutes to complete and is essential for keeping your smile healthy and strong. Every six months, we will use an ultrasonic scaling device and a manual tool to gently break up and remove all plaque and tartar from the smile. We then polish the teeth for a brighter appearance and to make it more difficult for plaque and tartar to buildup on the teeth. The process helps fight cavities, as well as bad breath and teeth stains. At home, you can help by making sure your kids brush for two minutes when they wake up and then again before bed, always with a fluoride toothpaste and a toothbrush with soft bristles. Kids also need to floss every evening before bed too, as this removes what a toothbrush alone cannot.

If you have any questions about how we conduct cleanings to keep your smile healthy and strong, then contact our team today to learn more! Your little one deserves optimal oral health and shining smiles, and we want to help make it possible.
