Preventive Dentistry

Dental Cleaning (Prophylaxis)

Professional dental cleanings help remove plaque and buildup from your child’s teeth while giving us another opportunity to evaluate their oral hygiene and identify areas that may need a little extra attention at home.

At Little Roots, cleanings are tailored to your child’s age, comfort, and individual needs. We introduce instruments and sensations at an appropriate pace and use each visit as an opportunity to help children become more confident caring for their own teeth.

A cleaning is only one part of prevention. We’ll also help your family build realistic brushing and home-care habits that protect your child’s teeth between visits.

This page describes clinical care in general terms and is written for parents. It is not advice about your individual child.
