Check-Ups & Cleanings

At Brush Floss Dentistry for Children, we believe prevention is the key to lifelong oral health. That’s why our check-ups and dental cleanings for kids are at the heart of what we do. Families across Red Deer trust us because we make every appointment gentle, fun, and educational, turning routine visits into positive milestones.

Why Regular Pediatric Dental Check-Ups Matter

Children’s teeth change quickly, and small issues can turn into big problems if not addressed early. The Canadian Dental Association recommends children see a dentist every six months. Sometimes, they may need to come in more often if they’re at higher risk of cavities.

Benefits of Regular Check-Ups & Cleanings:

At Brush Floss Dentistry for Children, our pediatric dentists perform thorough exams in a child-friendly way that keeps kids relaxed and engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Children should have their first dental visit by age one or within six months of getting their first tooth. 

 

We know that sounds super young, but infants can get a cavity as soon as their first tooth erupts. 

 

These early visits are also important for several reasons, including:

  • Helping kids get used to the sights and sounds of the dental office.
  • Building rapport with the pediatric dentist and team. 
  • Creating a baseline, so we can keep an eye on future growth and development.
  • Allowing us to prevent issues or, at the very least, catch them as early as possible, while treatment is easier and less invasive.
  • Providing an opportunity for parents to learn how to care for their baby’s growing smile and ask questions about their little one’s oral health and development.

Your child’s dental cleaning will generally take 30–45 minutes, depending on your little one’s needs.

No. Our Red Deer pediatric dental cleanings are gentle and pain-free. Plus, we use comfort techniques for nervous kids.

Yes, both are available to give kids extra cavity protection. Professional fluoride treatments strengthen kids’ enamel, helping to ward off decay. 

Protective dental sealants seal off the pits and grooves on the chewing surfaces of kids’ back teeth. This keeps food debris, plaque, and acids out, which significantly reduces the risk of cavities. We recommend sealing the six-year and 12-year molars when they first erupt. 

Both sealants and fluoride treatments are quick, affordable, and painless.

Our friendly, patient team is specially trained in treating children. We use kid-friendly terms, distraction, and other techniques to put children at ease. 

While this is often enough to encourage patients to relax in our chair, we also offer safe dental sedation options when needed.
