Children's Cleanings & Exams

Preventative care is a proven method to help your child’s teeth stay healthy through their growing years. We give young patients the right tools and teach them the best way to brush when they’re young. These early habits set the foundation that that they can carry into adulthood for lifelong dental health.

Most children schedule two cleanings a year, but patients with a higher risk of tooth decay may benefit from more frequent visits.

During a preventive visit, your child’s hygienist will clean their teeth, take x-rays and apply a fluoride treatment. Dr. Santos will perform an exam and review if any treatment is needed.
