Professional teeth cleaning are an important part of taking care of your oral health! Not only do they give you a beautiful smile, but they also remove plaque and harmful bacteria that can lead to cavities or even gum disease and other harmful oral health issues.

What is Gentle Teeth Cleaning for Children?

Gentle teeth cleaning for children is a kid-friendly approach to professional dental cleaning. It involves carefully removing plaque and tartar from your child’s teeth using specialized instruments and techniques for young, sensitive mouths. Our gentle approach ensures that your child’s teeth get the care they need while keeping the experience comfortable and stress-free.

My son walked out of his first appointment and said, “Mama, I LOVE the dentist!” This appointment exceeded all expectations. The staff is warm and kind and Gabby made Luke feel so comfortable and calm! It’s every parent’s wish to have their child calm and reassured at this type of appointment. Dr. Fazeli introduced herself right away—she is warm, welcoming and such a professional. She walked us through X-Rays and immediately gave Luke’s teeth a check. Our son was thrilled to have gone to the dentist! LOVE it here and would recommend this practice to any parent!
