Routine dental exams and professional teeth cleaning every six months is the best way to maintain overall dental health. These checkups typically begin as soon as a child gets their first tooth and continues about every six months throughout the course of their life. Routine dentist visits help prevent problems or identify them early on before they have a chance to develop.
During professional teeth cleaning, excessive plaque buildup is removed. While regular brushing removes a lot of plaque, it typically doesn’t remove all. Gentle and professional dental cleanings performed at Shadow Creek help preserve your child’s teeth and gums.
