Pediatric Dental Exams & Cleaning in Santa Clarita & Palmdale, CA

Oral exams are an important part of your child’s health and an essential part of our practice. They help us determine the state of a patient’s oral health and alert us to serious problems that should be addressed immediately. When we examine a patient, we aim to discuss how they can better care for their teeth and gums, as well as what steps they can take to prevent disease and decay. Maintaining a regular schedule of examinations can help to catch any problems while they are small and easy to fix.

Dental plaque is really a colony of bacteria living on the surface of the teeth. These bacteria are the cause of cavities and gum disease. Regular professional cleanings remove plaque from the teeth that is not being removed by daily home care.

An exam and cleaning at Adventure Dental and Orthodontics usually includes:

• Teeth cleaning twice a year
• Checking for cavities and signs of gum disease at each visit
• Evaluating the risk of oral health problems each time we see your child
• X-rays once a year
