Cleanings and exams

Regular cleanings and dental exams are the first line of defense in maintaining your child’s oral health. During these visits, we gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, check for early signs of cavities or gum issues, and monitor tooth development. Our friendly dental team creates a positive, comfortable experience to help kids feel confident about going to the dentist. Routine visits every six months help catch small problems early before they become bigger concerns.

Digital X-Rays

We use safe, low-radiation digital X-rays to get a clear look at what’s happening beneath the surface of your child’s teeth and gums. These images help us detect cavities, monitor incoming adult teeth, and ensure proper jaw development. Digital technology allows for faster imaging and less exposure, making it safer and more efficient than traditional methods. We only take X-rays when necessary and always with your child’s safety in mind.

Fluoride Treatment hello kids dentistry Pembroke Pines FL

Fluorid Treatments

Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen enamel and prevent tooth decay. Our professional fluoride treatments are quick, painless, and provide extra protection against cavities, especially for children who are still developing brushing habits. Applied right after a cleaning, fluoride works as a shield to help keep your child’s teeth strong between visits.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a simple and effective way to prevent cavities on the chewing surfaces of molars, where food and bacteria tend to hide. We apply a thin, protective coating to these grooves to keep out bacteria. Sealants are especially helpful during the cavity-prone years and can last for several years with proper care, giving your child’s smile added protection.

Sports Mouthguard

For active kids, sports mouthguards are a must. Whether your child plays soccer, basketball, or another contact sport, a custom-fitted mouthguard helps protect their teeth, gums, and jaw from injury. Unlike over-the-counter options, our custom mouthguards offer a snug, comfortable fit that allows for easy breathing and speaking—so your child can focus on the game, not their gear.

Curious Kids & Parents Ask!

Q1: How often should my child see a pediatric dentist for a checkup?

A: The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children visit the dentist every 6 months starting at age one. Regular checkups at Hello Kids Dentistry help catch small issues early, prevent cavities, and keep your child’s smile healthy and happy! We make every visit fun, gentle, and stress-free for both kids and parents.

Q2: What’s the best age to start using fluoride toothpaste for kids?

A: Fluoride is essential for protecting your child’s teeth from cavities. For children under 3, use a tiny smear (rice-sized) of fluoride toothpaste. After age 3, you can use a pea-sized amount. At Hello Kids Dentistry, we guide parents on safe fluoride use during cleanings and recommend the best products based on your child’s needs.

Q3: Do dental sealants really help prevent cavities in kids?

A: Yes! Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth, where most cavities form. They act like a shield, keeping food and bacteria out of hard-to-brush grooves. At Hello Kids Dentistry, sealants are quick, painless, and a powerful tool in your child’s cavity-fighting toolkit!
