Preventive Care
Cleanings, fluoride, sealants, and healthy habits that keep small problems small.
What to expect
- A full exam of teeth, gums, and bite every six months
- A gentle cleaning and polish in a flavor your child picks
- Fluoride treatment
- Sealants on permanent molars: painted on, with no drilling or numbing
- X-rays only when your child's history calls for it
- Coaching on brushing, flossing, snacks, and drinks
- A visit summary emailed to you afterward
Why it matters
Regular checkups are the single best way to prevent cavities and spot bite or growth issues early. Sealants protect the deep grooves of back teeth, where most childhood cavities start.
Common questions
How often should my child come in?
Every six months for most kids. Some children benefit from more frequent visits, and we'll tell you if that applies.
When should my child get sealants?
Usually when the first permanent molars come in around age 6, and again for the second molars around age 12.
Is preventive care covered by insurance?
Most plans cover checkups, cleanings, fluoride, and sealants at or near 100%. We'll confirm your benefits first.
