Ensuring your child’s smile stays bright and healthy starts with good oral hygiene habits and regular dental visits.

At Navarro Dental Center, we provide comprehensive pediatric dental cleanings and exams. We help young smiles grow strong while making visits to the dentist a positive experience.

Pediatric dental cleanings and exams are preventive treatments designed to protect your child’s teeth and gums from cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. During these visits, we remove plaque and tartar, check for any potential concerns, and provide guidance on maintaining excellent dental hygiene at home.

We aim to keep your child’s teeth in top shape and catch any issues early before they become major problems. With regular visits to a pediatric dentist, you set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Most children should visit the dentist for cleanings and exams twice a year. However, some children may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health needs, such as a higher risk of cavities or gum disease.

Regular checkups help maintain a healthy mouth, but sometimes, certain signs indicate that your child needs an exam sooner rather than later. Watch out for the following symptoms:

• Persistent Bad Breath: If your child has chronic bad breath that doesn’t go away even after brushing, it may indicate plaque buildup, cavities, or gum disease.
• Visible Plaque or Tartar Buildup: If you notice yellowish or brown deposits on your child’s teeth, professional cleaning is necessary to prevent decay and gum issues.
• Bleeding Gums While Brushing: Bleeding or swollen gums can be an early sign of gingivitis, requiring immediate attention.
• Tooth Sensitivity or Pain: If your child complains of pain or sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods, it could indicate cavities or enamel erosion.
• Difficulty Chewing or Biting: Trouble chewing food comfortably may suggest a misalignment, cavity, or an underlying dental issue.

If your child shows any of these symptoms, promptly scheduling a kids’ dental checkup can help prevent further complications and ensure their teeth stay healthy and strong.

Regular child teeth cleaning provides numerous benefits, including:

• Cavity Prevention: Professional cleanings reduce the risk of cavities by cleaning out plaque and tartar.
• Gum Disease Prevention: Early detection and treatment of gum issues ensure a healthier mouth.
• Early Issue Detection: Routine exams catch dental problems before they worsen, saving time and money.
• Fresher Breath: Removing bacteria and plaque helps combat bad breath.
• Positive Dental Experience: Regular visits help children feel more comfortable and confident about dental care.
