Children's Cleaning & Exams

Preventative care is one of the simplest and most important ways to make sure your child’s teeth grow in strong and healthy. Giving them the proper tools and teaching them the right way to brush when they are young lays the groundwork that will create healthy habits they will carry with them into adulthood.

Most children have two cleanings a year, but children with a higher risk of caries may need more frequent visits.

During a checkup, your child’s hygienist will clean their teeth and, if necessary, take x-rays and give your child a fluoride treatment. Our doctors will perform an exam and review if any treatment is needed.

At Exceptional Dental of St. Petersburg in St. Petersburg, FL, we believe that early dental encounters can influence a child’s impression of dentistry for a lifetime. We will ensure your child's preventive visits are a comfortable, positive experience.
