Keep Your Child’s Smile Healthy
What This Service Is

Kids Dental Exams
Kids dental exams are routine check-ups for children’s teeth and gums. During the exam, the dentist checks for cavities, monitors tooth development, and evaluates bite alignment. These visits also include professional cleaning, oral hygiene guidance, and preventive treatments like fluoride or sealants. Early exams help catch issues before they become bigger problems, promoting lifelong dental health and positive dental habits.
