Dental Cleanings Exams

Among the most important preventive treatments provided at The Dentists for Kids are dental cleanings and exams. Dental cleanings and exams allow our pediatric dentists to monitor your child’s oral growth and development as well as check for a treat any developing dental problem. Your child should receive a dental cleaning and exam every six months, though we may recommend a more frequent schedule if needed. To make your child’s appointment with Dr. Peter Gurr and Dr. Scott Jensen and learn more about dental cleanings and exams in San Antonio, Texas, contact our office at 210-696-2563.

Dental cleanings and exams are two of the most basic yet important preventive treatments we provide at our office. Each time you visit our dental practice for a checkup, we will provide a professional teeth cleaning and dental exam to help your smile stay healthy. During your teeth cleaning and exam, our dental team will:

• Clean your teeth by removing any plaque or tartar (also called dental calculus), which can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease
• Floss and polish your teeth for a healthy, bright smile
• Examine your smile for signs of any damaging dental conditions or diseases

We utilize dental X-rays to further evaluate your smile and make certain that you receive the dental care you need. Regular dental cleanings and exams are essential in maintaining good oral health, preventing cavities and gum disease, and making sure that any damaging conditions are treated as early as possible.

Our pediatric dentists and orthodontist recommends that you visit us every six months for a routine dental cleaning and exam. We may suggest more frequent visits if needed, and we also encourage you to contact us if you suffer from a dental emergency, pain, or injury.
