Dental Cleanings in Milpitas
Dental cleanings are one of the most important parts of maintaining your child’s oral health. These professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that regular brushing and flossing may miss. Over time, bacteria can build up on teeth and gums, increasing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. At TeethBuddies Pediatric Dentistry, our friendly team provides gentle and thorough cleanings to keep your child’s smile healthy, bright, and confident.
Why Dental Cleanings Matter
Regular dental cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues by removing harmful buildup that daily brushing can’t reach.
Prevents Tooth Decay: Removes plaque and bacteria that can lead to cavities.
Protects Gums: Reduces inflammation and helps prevent gingivitis.
Freshens Breath: Cleans away food debris and odor-causing bacteria.
Brightens Smiles: Polishes teeth to restore natural shine and smoothness.
What to Expect During Your Cleaning
Each dental cleaning is designed to be gentle, comfortable, and effective while helping your child feel relaxed and confident in the chair.
Oral Exam: A careful check for early signs of cavities, gum irritation, or enamel wear.
Plaque and Tartar Removal: Specialized tools gently clean around each tooth and along the gumline.
Polishing and Fluoride Treatment: Teeth are polished to remove stains and then strengthened with fluoride for extra protection.
Flossing and Rinse: A professional floss and rinse leave the mouth fresh and fully clean.
