Dental cleanings and exams are foundational to maintaining your child’s oral health. At Preston Center Pediatric Dentistry, we emphasize the importance of these regular visits to ensure your child’s smile stays bright and healthy. During each visit, our friendly and experienced pediatric dentist and team will carefully clean your child’s teeth, removing plaque and tartar that can lead to cavities and gum disease. We also take the time to floss and polish their teeth, leaving them with a fresh, clean feeling that helps build positive dental habits.

In addition to the cleaning, Dr. John Riehs will perform a thorough dental exam to check for any signs of tooth decay, gum issues or other oral health concerns. Early detection is key to preventing more serious problems down the road, and our team is trained to spot even the smallest signs of trouble. If necessary, we may use dental X-rays to get a closer look at your child’s teeth and jaw development, ensuring that any issues are addressed promptly. We may also recommend additional preventive treatments at this time, such as dental sealants, Curodont™ or fluoride treatment.

We recommend bringing your child in for a dental cleaning and exam every six months. These routine visits are crucial in preventing dental problems before they start and keeping your child’s smile on the right track. Should your child experience any dental pain, injury or emergency, we encourage you to reach out to us immediately for an evaluation.

Our goal is to create a positive experience for your child, helping them feel comfortable in the dental chair and building trust with them so they will feel confident when meeting with our pediatric dentist and team. We invite you to call us today at 214-838-3210 to schedule your child’s appointment and learn more about how dental cleanings and exams in Dallas, Texas, can benefit their oral and overall wellbeing. We look forward to partnering with you in keeping your child’s smile healthy and beautiful!
