Our Dental Services
Pediatric Dental Exam
Dental Exams and checkups refers to the general pediatric services we provide at Tooth Club For Kids. Our pediatric dentists ensure that your child’s oral health is improved as conveniently and conservatively as possible. We invite you to call any of our three locations to schedule your next visit.
Teeth Cleanings & Hygiene
Teeth cleanings are recommended once every six months for all patients. With these routine visits, you and our team will help your child get into the habit of regular dental visits early in life and will create positive dental habits that will extend into adulthood. Regular tooth cleanings help keep your child’s gums and teeth healthy and cavity-free. Although dental care at home is very important, professional dental cleanings will help remove the plaque build-up that can occur even with the best brushing and flossing methods.
During a routine check-up, your child’s teeth will be polished to remove any plaque build-up, also known as tartar. In addition, your child will be given a fun toothpaste flavor and can choose to watch a kid-friendly movie during the entire cleaning process. Our dentist will also spend time going over the dietary needs of your child along with proper daily brushing and flossing routines. You may also ask our pediatric dentist for tips on how your child can properly brush and floss and what foods are best for them to eat.
Dental Exams & Consultation
Our pediatric dentists will provide a through children’s dental examination at our Glendale and Phoenix Arizona locations, following a routine cleaning appointment. The process will include an examination of the child’s mouth, teeth, and gums, and education about at-home dental care. If the child has tooth decay or other problems that require further treatment, our dentist will discuss them with you at this time. If needed, an appointment will be set for a later date.
Regular dental checkups are the best protection against gum disease, tooth loss, and other dental conditions. Our pediatric dentist, as well as The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommend dental examinations every 6 months to preserve your child’s oral health.
