The importance of regular teeth cleanings
Here at Elegant Smile Dental, you will find a dental team that is committed to gentle, friendly dental service for patients of all ages. Dr. Yousefi and her team provide compassionate treatment and a warm, welcoming environment to make to the visit as comfortable and relaxing as possible. After all, we know that early childhood dental visits will shape how kids care for their smiles and maintain oral health. By coming into our West Los Angeles office every six months for professional dental cleanings and exams, you allow us to,
- Reduce surface stains and brighten your child’s smile
- Reduce or prevent inflammation and gum disease
- Prevent plaque buildup, thus reducing the risk of decay and cavities
- Detect issues such as a bad bite, fractures, and other issues
- Provide advice on how to properly care for your child’s teeth and gums
These checkups are essential for a healthy smile and it’s one of the best ways to prevent common problems such as cavities. Even children with seemingly healthy smiles who aren’t dealing with issues should still visit the dentist regularly for biannual checkups. Since there is a link between poor oral health and other health problems such as heart disease, these routine checkups could also promote better overall health for your child, too.
During your child’s routine checkup we will perform a thorough deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and around and under the gums. Once a year we will also run x-rays to check the development/growth of their teeth and to catch and correct any possible issues early on.
