What Happens During a Pediatric Dental Cleaning?
Professional cleanings are important for children and adults. They help:
-
Remove plaque and tartar buildup
-
Prevent cavities and gum disease
-
Protect both primary and permanent teeth
-
Support long-term oral and overall health
Regular visits also allow our pediatric dental and general dental providers to catch small issues early.
What to expect during a cleaning
At Sola Kids Dental & Orthodontics, our cleanings are designed to be gentle, thorough, and tailored to each patient’s age and needs. Here’s what you can expect:
1
Kids
Cleanings are made fun and stress-free with simple explanations and encouragement.
2
Teens
Specialized cleanings focus on preventing cavities around braces or aligners.
3
Young Adults & Parents
Complete professional cleanings that polish teeth, remove buildup, and protect oral health.
Our doctors and staff explain each step clearly — whether we’re treating baby teeth, developing permanent teeth, or adult smiles — so every patient knows what to expect and feels well cared for.
Extra Protection: Fluoride & Dental Sealants
To support strong children’s oral hygiene, we may recommend:
-
Fluoride treatments — strengthen enamel & reduce cavity risk
-
Dental sealants — protective coating for deep grooves in molars
These are especially helpful when children are learning to brush their teeth and maintain clean surfaces.
Home Care Tips for Cleaner Teeth
Good oral hygiene doesn’t stop at the office. We recommend:
-
Brushing teeth twice a day
-
Using a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste for kids who can spit
-
Supervising brushing until kids can effectively clean all surfaces
-
Daily flossing for tighter contacts
For parents, we reinforce proper brushing and gum care to protect permanent teeth long-term.
How Often to Schedule a Cleaning
Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months, but some may need visits more frequently based on cavity risk, gum health, or orthodontic treatment.
If you’re unsure, our dental team will recommend a schedule that fits your needs.
Affordable care and insurance options
We believe preventive care should be accessible for every family. That’s why we accept Medi-cal and Denti-cal as well as most PPO dental insurance plans, including Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, and Delta Dental.
No insurance? Don’t worry—we also provide flexible payment plans to make dental cleanings affordable for everyone in South Los Angeles.
Why our patients & parents love us
It was like love at first sight!! This place is clean, fun, and very professional. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and it seems like every child walks out happy! They DON’T USE STRAPS TO HOLD KIDS DOWN!! They use laughing gas, jokes, and conversation to get the child to cooperate.
