Kids Cleanings & Checkups

During a typical cleaning and checkup at Light Dental Pediatrics, Dr. Bovenkamp and our skilled hygienists take the time to carefully clean your child's teeth, removing any plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing might miss. This deep cleaning helps to prevent cavities and gum disease, keeping your child's smile healthy and bright. Our hygienists also polish the teeth, which not only makes them look great but also makes it harder for plaque to stick to them. Throughout the cleaning process, we ensure that your child is comfortable and relaxed, using gentle techniques and providing a positive experience that fosters a lifetime of good oral hygiene habits.

In addition to professional cleanings, regular checkups with Dr. Bovenkamp are a vital part of your child's dental care. During these visits, he performs a comprehensive examination of your child's teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for any signs of dental problems or developmental issues. Early detection of cavities, misalignment, or other concerns allows for timely intervention, which can save your child from more extensive treatments in the future. Dr. Bovenkamp also takes this opportunity to educate both parents and children on proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as dietary recommendations that support oral health.

Checkups at Light Dental Pediatrics are designed to be informative and reassuring for both children and parents. We believe that educating families about dental health is just as important as providing professional care. Dr. Bovenkamp and our team take the time to answer any questions you might have and provide personalized advice tailored to your child's specific needs. This proactive approach helps to build a strong foundation for your child's oral health and ensures that they are equipped with the knowledge and tools to maintain a healthy smile between visits.
