Even with daily brushing, kids need professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to decay. The American Dental Association recommends children get professional cleanings and examinations twice a year. Special circumstances may require an additional cleaning per year. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to schedule a visit:

• Visible plaque or tartar on teeth
• Bad breath that won't go away
• Bleeding or swollen gums
• Six months since their last cleaning
• Complaints of tooth sensitivity

Regular cleanings help catch problems early and keep your child's smile healthy for years to come.

Routine cleanings do more than just polish teeth. They protect your child's overall health through preventive care. At Levitt and Prasatthong DDS, our team provides comprehensive pediatric dental cleanings that offer:
