Children's Dental Cleanings in Orland Park

Kids’ Teeth Cleaning in Orland Park

You should schedule dental cleanings for your child every six months to help maintain a healthy smile and prevent dental problems. During your child’s routine appointment, Dr. Erica performs an oral examination to check for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease and other serious issues, such as oral cancer and breathing disorders.

If no issues are found, we begin by removing plaque and debris, especially in places where a toothbrush can’t reach, such as between teeth and under the gumline. After the cleaning, fluoride is applied to protect the teeth from cavities. We also educate kids on proper brushing and flossing techniques.

Preventing Cavities and Tooth Decay

Cavities are the most common issues we encounter in children. If untreated, cavities can cause pain, infections and problems eating and speaking. The good news is that cavities are preventable! Here’s how:

• Wipe your baby’s gums with a soft, clean cloth in the morning and before bed.
• Visit the dentist by their first birthday for a checkup and fluoride varnish application.
• Brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily.
• Drink fluorinated tap water.
• Limit sugary snacks and drinks.

To ensure your child regularly and adequately maintains good dental hygiene, make it fun for them. Let them pick out a toothbrush in their favorite color, toothpaste in delicious flavors such as bubblegum and a fun timer that they can use to track a full two minutes of brushing.
