Cleanings

Great oral health can last a lifetime, so make sure your child is on the right track by doing your part. Every stage in a child’s life comes with different dental needs and responsibilities.  The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends bringing your child to the dentist before his or her first birthday.

At this initial visit, Dr. Elliott and Dr. Molina will:

• check your child’s teeth for decay and signs of early developmental problems;
• explain how to care for your child’s teeth; and
• answer any questions or concerns you might have.

Dr. Elliott and Dr. Molina recommend scheduling your child/children’s cleanings every six months in order to help them develop a positive attitude about the dentist.
