Children’s scaling and cleaning

Children’s scaling and cleaning is performed by a dental hygienist to remove the tartar and plaque that build up on the teeth and gums.

Scaling and cleaning for children isimportantfor several reasons

  • It helps prevent cavities, even in children with a good brushing routine.
  • It prevents gum problems such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
  • Baby teeth can also build up tartar and develop cavities.
  • It allows the hygienist to give oral hygiene advice tailored to your child’s needs.

We recommend starting checkups and cleanings around age 3, then repeating them every 6 to 12 months.
