Teeth might be tough and durable, but they still need to be cared for on a daily basis to avoid plaque buildup, which can erode and destroy them over time.
If you’re teaching your child about everyday oral hygiene, be sure to include a visit to our pediatric dentistry for a teeth cleaning or prophylaxis.

We've compiled a list of reasons why your child's dental appointment for a teeth cleaning should be prioritized:
Your child’s teeth should be cleaned at least twice a year, according to the pediatric dentists at Stevenson’s Dental Ark and The Dental Ark, to ensure that plaque buildup and food deposits are removed for a healthy grin.
Regular dental appointments are necessary for your child’s gums and teeth to remain healthy.
Some dentists may prescribe more regular checkups if they believe it is necessary based on your child’s dental condition.

We've compiled a list of reasons why your child's dental appointment for a teeth cleaning should be prioritized:
Overall Health
A perfect health could be defined by healthy gums and teeth.
Long-Lasting Natural Teeth
If left untreated, minor gum disease can progress to severe gum disease and tooth loss.
Gum Disease Prevention
Avoid plaque buildup, which can lead to tartar, which is more difficult to remove.
Tartar toxins can irritate and inflame gums, which is the first step in developing serious gum disease.
Bad Breath Prevention
Having a regular checkup and teeth cleaning will help you maintain good oral hygiene.
Dentists can remove exterior stains, tartar, and plaque buildup for a brighter smile.
