Pediatric Teeth Cleaning For Kids & Toddlers in San Diego

Teeth cleaning is a routine part of a dental checkup, but you may not realize how important regular teeth cleaning can be for your overall health. Medical studies have shown that good oral hygiene not only helps prevent tooth loss, but can prevent heart disease, dementia, and issues of diabetes, as well.

Your child may do a good job brushing and flossing but a dental cleaning goes below the gum line for a more thorough teeth cleaning. We specialize in kids dental cleaning, toddler teeth cleaning, and also for adults as part of our solid dental care program. During a dental cleaning, The Super Dentists will remove any tartar and plaque from your children’s teeth. This will help prevent gum disease.

Gum disease can lead to serious problems with bone and tooth loss. Regular dental cleaning lets your dentist monitor your children’s dental health because prevention is a lot easier than intervention when it comes to dental disease. With a teeth cleaning in San Diego at The Super Dentists, we’ll stay ahead of potential dental issues before they become big problems.

The Super Dentists are proponents of regular teeth cleaning for oral hygiene as well as overall health. As pediatric dentistry specialists, The Super Dentists will ensure your children receive a thorough dental cleaning as well as tips to fight plaque and tartar at home. Making dental teeth cleaning a regular habit — and setting a good example by getting your own teeth cleaning — you put your children on a path to good oral hygiene and good overall health.

Rest assured, both children and adults will experience a comfortable, relaxing San Diego dental cleaning when they visit The Super Dentists!
