Pediatric Preventive Dentistry
At Hello Kids Dentistry, we believe prevention is the best medicine. Our preventive dental services help protect your child’s smile from issues before they begin.
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.

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!
