Helping Your Kids Build Healthy Smiles for Life

Maintaining a healthy smile is a lifelong commitment that starts early in childhood. A child’s first experiences with dental care can shape how they feel about visiting the dentist for years to come. 

That’s why our friendly dental team is dedicated to creating a positive, stress-free environment where kids can feel comfortable, safe, and even excited about their dental visits. We provide thorough dental exams and cleanings tailored to the needs of growing smiles.

Give your child the gift of a healthy, happy smile—book their appointment today!

Why Are Dental Exams and Cleanings Important for Kids?

Regular dental visits are essential for kids and teens to help:

  • Prevent cavities and tooth decay, which can impact their oral health long-term.
  • Monitor the development of their teeth, jaws, and bite alignment.
  • Teach children good oral hygiene habits to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
  • Build confidence and comfort at the dentist from an early age.

By establishing healthy dental habits and identifying issues early, we help young people maintain strong, beautiful smiles as they grow.

How Often Should Kids Have Dental Exams and Cleanings?

For children aged 5 and older, we recommend scheduling dental exams and cleanings every 6 months. This routine helps us check that their teeth and gums remain healthy while allowing us to catch any concerns early.

By catching potential problems early, we can provide timely treatments that are often simpler and less invasive. Most importantly, regular dental checkups help kids become comfortable with the experience of visiting the dentist, building confidence and trust that will encourage them to maintain a healthy smile for life.

What to Expect During Your Child’s Dental Exam

Our children’s dental exams are designed to be comfortable and kid-friendly. Here’s what you can typically expect:

  • General examination: We carefully check your child’s teeth, gums, and oral development.
  • Cleaning: We provide a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and prevent cavities.
  • Education: We teach kids proper brushing and flossing techniques in a fun, engaging way.
  • Personalized care: If we notice any dental issues, we’ll discuss treatment options with you to help you feel comfortable with where your child’s oral health is.

We strive to make each visit fun and reassuring, so kids look forward to coming back.

Creating a Positive Dental Experience

We understand that visiting the dentist can feel a little overwhelming for some kids. That’s why we go above and beyond to create a welcoming environment where children can feel safe, and parents can feel comfortable with the care they’re receiving. 

By fostering trust and positivity at every visit, we help kids develop healthy habits that last a lifetime. Contact us to schedule your child’s next dental exam today.

Taking a
Preventive Approach

Routine dental cleanings and exams are a vital part of preventive care for your teeth and gums. Our team at Bridgeland Dental Care is dedicated to providing our patients with personalized, comprehensive, preventative dental care.

During a dental cleaning, your dentist or dental hygienist will remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar build-up from your teeth. Your dentist or hygienist may also recommend other preventive services to help protect and strengthen your teeth from decay.

We also use digital X-rays and the iTero digital scanner to get a clear view of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. These tools help make your dental experience more efficient, comfortable, and interactive.
