Plaque and tartar are some seriously stubborn things that will build up on your child’s teeth! Even with dedicated daily brushing and flossing, only a professional dental cleaning provided at our office will clean all the little nooks and crannies that may have been missed. This cleaning should be completed every six months to remove all the build-up that has occurred.

If needed, we may perform a treatment of fluoride varnish for your child’s teeth. This varnish is a sticky “paste” that is painted onto the teeth at the end of your child’s visit. Painting the varnish onto the teeth is a much better way to apply fluoride due to the direct application. Directly applying fluoride is more precise than other forms of fluoride treatment such as trays or foam. Kids will not accidentally swallow fluoride this way and are also able to eat or drink immediately.
