🧒 What Is Pediatric Teeth Cleaning?
A pediatric dental cleaning is more than just brushing and flossing. It’s a thorough, age-appropriate treatment designed to remove plaque, check for early signs of decay, and help your child feel confident about their smile.
Our children’s cleanings include:
- Gentle plaque and tartar removal
- Kid-friendly polishing
- Fluoride application (if recommended)
- Cavity screening and brushing tips
- One-on-one time with our warm, supportive hygienists
For nervous kids, we take things slow and explain each step. Our goal is to build trust, not fear.
📅 At What Age Should a Child Get Their Teeth Cleaned?
Most kids should have their first dental cleaning by age 1, or within 6 months of their first tooth coming in. From there, cleanings are typically recommended every 6 months, just like for adults.
Early cleanings help:
- Monitor growth and spacing
- Prevent baby tooth decay
- Get kids used to the dental chair
The earlier they start, the easier it becomes!
💸 How Much Does a Child’s Teeth Cleaning Cost?
At Tribute Family Dentistry, our children’s cleanings are affordable, and we accept many insurance plans—including Medicaid. Without insurance, prices typically range from $75–$150, depending on your child’s needs and if X-rays or fluoride are included.
We also offer in-house savings plans for families without dental coverage.
👪 Why Are Cleanings So Important for Kids?
Even baby teeth matter. They help with speech, chewing, and guiding adult teeth into place. Regular cleanings:
- Reduce the risk of cavities and infections
- Help parents stay informed about oral health
- Create lifelong habits of dental hygiene
Skipping cleanings can lead to plaque buildup, gingivitis, and cavities—even in young children.
🩺 How Do Dentists Clean Children’s Teeth?
Our team uses:
- Small, gentle tools designed for kids
- Flavorful polishing paste they can choose
- Low-pressure rinsing tools
- Calming, educational explanations throughout
We take extra care with toddlers, neurodivergent kids, and those with previous dental anxiety.
🧠 Frequently Asked Questions About Kids’ Dental Cleanings
Is dental cleaning necessary for kids?
Yes! Cleanings help prevent cavities, infections, and discomfort. Even baby teeth need attention.
Can I refuse dental cleaning?
As a parent, you can decline any procedure—but cleanings are highly recommended and very safe.
What age do kids usually get cavities?
Cavities can appear as early as age 2–3. Regular cleanings reduce the risk dramatically.
Should I get my 6-year-old’s cavities filled?
Yes—leaving cavities untreated can lead to pain, infections, and damage to adult teeth developing below.
What is the number one cause of cavities in kids?
Frequent snacking on sugary foods and inconsistent brushing are major contributors.
What are two signs of tooth decay in a child?
- White or brown spots on teeth
- Sensitivity to sweets or cold
How to heal a cavity without fillings?
Unfortunately, once a cavity forms, it won’t heal on its own. Good hygiene and fluoride can help prevent worsening, but fillings are often necessary.
Is it my fault my kid has cavities?
Not at all. Cavities are common, and many factors—like diet, genetics, and bacteria—play a role. Our job is to help, not blame.
What kills the bacteria that causes cavities?
Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, and routine cleanings help eliminate cavity-causing bacteria.
