What Is Involved During Professional Cleanings?

Dr. Roshan Roshannejad will begin your child’s cleaning by evaluating the surface of the teeth to determine if there are any cavities. We will then carry out a periodontal exam to ensure that your child’s gums bond tightly to the teeth and that no periodontal disease or bone loss is present.

Next, we will carefully clean your child’s teeth with dental tools to remove the bacterial buildup from the teeth. Then, your child’s teeth are flossed using a polishing compound, and then fluorides are applied. If we detect tooth decay or gum disease, we will teach you about changing your child’s brushing or flossing practices. In severe cases, we may prescribe antibiotics or other dental treatments.
