Pediatric Dental Exams & Check-Ups for Kids in South Los Angeles

What Happens During a Pediatric Dental Exam?

A routine pediatric dental exam includes:
 

• A gentle evaluation of teeth and gums

• Checking for cavities or early decay

• Monitoring bite alignment and jaw development

• Reviewing brushing habits

• Digital X-rays if necessary

• Fluoride treatment (when appropriate)
   

Our exams are designed to detect small issues early — before they become larger, more costly problems.
