What are Exams & Cleanings?

Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential components of maintaining optimal oral health for children. At Little Roots Pediatric Dental in Westbury, NY, we provide comprehensive exams and gentle cleanings to ensure that your child's smile remains healthy and bright.

How we can help

Thorough Dental Exams: During the dental exam, our experienced pediatric dentists, Dr. Jessica Barzideh and Dr. Sunaina Vohra, will carefully assess your child's oral health. This includes examining the teeth, gums, and other oral structures. Regular exams allow us to detect any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other dental concerns early on, enabling prompt treatment.


Professional Teeth Cleaning: Our skilled dental hygienists will perform a gentle yet thorough teeth cleaning. Using specialized tools, they will remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your child's teeth, even in hard-to-reach areas. This process helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Cleanings also contribute to maintaining a bright and sparkling smile.


Oral Health Education: Our team in Westbury, NY believes in the power of education. We will take the time to teach your child about proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene habits. We will provide age-appropriate guidance, ensuring that your child understands the significance of preventive care.


Prevention of Dental Issues: Exams and cleanings are crucial for preventing dental problems. Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if left untreated. By identifying and addressing any early signs of dental issues, we can prevent them from progressing into more serious conditions, saving your child from potential pain, discomfort, and costly treatments.


Monitoring Growth and Development: During exams, our pediatric dentist will closely monitor your child's dental growth and development. This includes assessing the eruption of permanent teeth, checking for proper alignment, and evaluating any bite issues. By tracking your child's dental milestones, we can intervene early if needed and ensure that their oral health is on the right track.


Establishing a Positive Dental Experience: Regular exams and cleanings create a foundation for a positive dental experience for your child. By scheduling routine visits, we can help your child feel comfortable and familiar with our dental practice in Westbury, NY. This familiarity and trust will promote a lifelong commitment to dental health and regular preventive care.
