Protecting Your Child’s Smile Through Routine Exams and Cleanings

At Kind Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that prevention is the key to a lifetime of healthy smiles. That’s why we follow the guidelines set by the American Dental Association (ADA), recommending that children receive a dental check-up at least twice a year. These routine visits allow us to catch potential issues early and help your child develop strong, healthy oral hygiene habits.

What to Expect During a Dental Check-up

Regular exams and cleanings are about more than just clean teeth—they play a vital role in maintaining your child’s overall health and wellness. At each visit, your child will receive:

Professional Dental Cleaning

Our skilled dental hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing may miss. This reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease and can help eliminate some surface stains, keeping your child’s teeth whiter and brighter.

Thorough Dental Examination

Dr. Paula Lobo performs a comprehensive exam to assess every aspect of your child’s oral health. This includes:

• Evaluating the health of teeth and gums
• Monitoring the development of the bite and jaw
• Checking for signs of decay, gum disease, or early orthodontic concerns
• Reviewing and maintaining any existing dental restorations
• Screening for oral abnormalities if age-appropriate
• Taking digital X-rays if needed, to get a clearer view of underlying structures

We also take time to educate both children and parents on effective brushing, flossing, and dietary habits that support long-term oral health.

Why Regular Check-ups Matter

Routine dental visits give us the opportunity to:

• Catch problems early—when they’re easiest to treat
• Track your child’s dental growth and development
• Provide personalized preventive care
• Build trust and familiarity with the dental office
• Encourage a lifetime of healthy dental habits

By maintaining a regular check-up schedule, your child is more likely to avoid serious dental issues in the future and develop a positive attitude toward oral healthcare.
