Cleanings & Exams

Just like cleanings and exams for adults, pediatric cleanings and exams are fairly straightforward. Houston pediatric dentist Dr. Hanna and her team will clean their teeth and gums, then she will carefully examine their mouth and take x-rays to look for potential issues with your child’s oral health and development.

You’ll have the opportunity during this visit to speak with Dr. Hanna about what to expect during the various stages of their oral development, like when their teeth will be erupting, falling out, then erupting again as adult teeth. We will discuss proper techniques for at-home oral hygiene care for different age groups, and even talk about nutrition and diet, and how it’s related to your child’s general health.

What are Cleanings & Exams?

Cleanings and exams are essential components of maintaining your child’s oral health. During a routine dental cleaning, we remove plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. A dental exam follows, where we thoroughly inspect your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of problems, such as cavities, misalignment, or oral health issues. These appointments are an opportunity to catch and treat problems early, ensuring your child’s smile stays healthy and bright.
