Dental Exams & Cleanings in Carrollton, TX

What Are Pediatric Dental Exams & Cleanings?

At Castle Hills Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Simi Abraham will discuss the overall health, growth, and development of your child. She will perform a detailed examination of their mouth and associated structures, assess the growth and development of jaw bones, teeth, and gums. She will inquire about any concerns you may have, and dental X-rays may be recommended when needed to evaluate tooth development, detect hidden cavities, and monitor your child’s oral health. Your child’s teeth will receive a detailed cleaning, a procedure called prophylaxis. The term dental prophylaxis refers to techniques used to professionally remove plaque, stain, and calculus (tartar) from patients’ teeth. Removing plaque, stain, calculus, and the factors that influence their buildup increases the probability of good oral health. Patients who exhibit a higher risk for developing cavities and periodontal (gum) disease should have recall visits more frequently than every six months.

Keeping Carrollton Children’s Smiles Healthy With Regular Exams & Cleanings

Regular dental exams are important for the health of your child’s teeth and associated structures. Good oral health will have positive effects on the health of the rest of their body. Oral issues can be minimized as they grow older. Certain illnesses can affect the health of their mouth. Regular dental exams will catch negative effects that can be in process. Regular teeth cleanings protect their teeth from decay and gums from disease.

What makes your child a good candidate for dental exams & cleanings?

Everyone should have a dental exam and their teeth cleaned at least once or twice a year. If your child is at high risk of dental disease, he/she may need to visit the dentist more often. Children suffering from certain illnesses or are on medications known to have a negative impact on oral health are at a higher risk of dental problems.

What Happens During a Pediatric Dental Exam & Cleaning?

Dr. Abraham will perform a clinical oral exam, assess your child’s oral growth and development, obtain necessary X-rays, provide age-appropriate anticipatory guidance, dietary counseling, oral habit counseling, injury prevention counseling, and oral hygiene instructions. Oral cancer screening will also be performed, and your child’s teeth will receive a thorough cleaning. Fluoride application may be recommended based on your child’s individual needs.

Whitney M.

“ The staff was so patient and understanding with my autistic son. It’s sometimes hard to find doctors/staff who treat children with autism with respect but everyone was so kind and worked with us throughout a difficult visit for x rays. Dr Abraham also asked lots of questions and seemed to really care about her patients. I would recommend them to anyone with small children! :) ”

Brittany B.

“ What a great place! From the moment my child walked in, we were promptly greeted with smiles and made to feel welcome. The first dentist visit (especially for a 15-month old) can be a scary place, but Dr. Abraham and her team made us feel instantly comfortable and taken care of. My little even held the assistant's hand! Great care from a caring team and all smiles from the smallest of patients is a win, win, win!! Thanks, Castle Hills! ”

K. D. P.

“ My 4 year old had her first appointment and I was so pleased. From the time we walked in the door there was a gentle and happy atmosphere. The office is colorful and calming. The person giving her x-rays was patient and explained everything to my curious little person. Then cleaning her teeth was a breeze and fun. The doctor was very knowledgeable and friendly and I appreciated her expertise. Overall wonderful experience and I am very pleased. Can't wait to return for checkups! ”

Ty A.

“ Beyond amazing! My husband and I we’re kind of worried how our daughter would react with her first ever dental appt here in the US that he has to take a day off from work to be there for it. Days prior to her appt she kept telling us she is scared. But on the day of the appt, SHE DID GREAT!! Nothing we expected at all, not even what we hoped for her reaction, to say the least. She sat still most of the time and listened to the instructions the dentist told her. She kept telling us she enjoyed the whole process afterwards. ”
