Cleanings

Cavities in both children and adults are less common now than they were several decades ago. This can be due to many factors, including an increased focus on oral hygiene and water fluoridation. However, fewer and fewer people drink tap water now, which means that childhood fluoride treatments are more important than ever. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has noted this increase in childhood cavities, finding that about one-third of children will have a cavity by age five. To keep your child's teeth healthy, we provide regular fluoride treatments at our standard checkups and encourage a healthy diet and good habits at home.
