Dental Exams and Cleanings

Preventing Oral Health Problems Before They Start

Routine dental care plays a vital role in your child’s overall health and well-being. While daily brushing and flossing at home are essential, professional dental checkups and cleanings are just as important. At Smilez Pediatric Dental Group, we emphasize prevention — helping kids in Northern Virginia build a foundation for lifelong oral health.

The American Dental Association recommends visiting the dentist every six months for comprehensive exams and cleanings. These regular visits allow us to catch small problems early and help your child maintain a confident, healthy smile.

Professional Cleanings

At Smilez Pediatric Dental Group, your child’s professional cleaning is provided by a highly trained team member under the direction of our pediatric dentists. The team member will begin by checking the surfaces of your child’s teeth and evaluating any existing fillings. Next, they’ll gently floss and polish your child’s teeth using a child-friendly polishing compound and apply fluoride to help strengthen and protect enamel.

If we notice any signs of tooth decay or areas that need attention, we’ll take the time to review your child’s oral hygiene habits and provide helpful tips to improve brushing, flossing, and nutrition at home.

Our mission is to provide unsurpassed, customized care in a warm and welcoming environment. We’re committed to helping your child build a healthy foundation for a lifetime of beautiful smiles—always putting our patients first. Legendary care and service – that’s Smilez.
