Children's Cleaning & Exams
Our team loves helping kids grow into healthy adults. Our doctors will create a positive dental experience for your children because we understand that early dental encounters can influence a child’s impression of dentistry for a lifetime. You can be sure your child will have a great experience at Exceptional Dental of St. Petersburg.
Following the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, our doctors suggest infants should come in for their first oral exam between the ages of six months to one year old. Please note that Exceptional Dental care does not begin dental exams for children until the age of 10.
More Than Just Baby Teeth
Preventative care is one of the simplest and most important ways to make sure your child’s teeth grow in strong and healthy. Giving them the proper tools and teaching them the right way to brush when they are young lays the groundwork that will create healthy habits they will carry with them into adulthood.
Most children have two cleanings a year, but children with a higher risk of caries may need more frequent visits.
During a checkup, your child’s hygienist will clean their teeth and, if necessary, take x-rays and give your child a fluoride treatment. Our doctors will perform an exam and review if any treatment is needed.
