Yes, we see kids! Our Boulder dental office typically starts seeing children around age three. At this age, we do a “happy visit,” where we introduce ourselves, count your child’s teeth, and let them ride in the dental chair. Once they’re comfortable with us, we can perform a gentle exam and cleaning.
Dental Exams and Cleanings for Kids
Our team at Diagonal Dental of Boulder enjoys working with kids and teens. Whether your little one needs a sealant, filling, or standard cleaning, we’re always pleased to help them attain a healthy, happy smile.
During the dental exam, we do the following:
- Thoroughly examine your child’s teeth, gums, and jaws
- Check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other issues
- Take x-rays if needed
- Check tooth and jaw development
If Dr. Amedro finds tooth decay or gum disease, we’ll discuss treatment options and oral hygiene habits.
One of our gentle hygienists begins the cleaning by checking for cavities and examining existing fillings. We then perform a periodontal (gum) exam to ensure their gum tissue is healthy and tightly adheres to their teeth.
Next, we carefully clean your little one’s teeth by removing plaque and tartar and expert flossing. Finally, we polish their teeth, so they’re shiny and fresh and finish off by applying fluoride.
