How Teeth Cleaning Helps Prevent Cavities
Cavities start when plaque builds up and weakens the enamel. Brushing at home helps, but some spots are hard to clean. Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and keeps cavities away. At Campbell Pediatric Dentistry, we gently clean every tooth to stop decay before it starts. Our team also applies fluoride to make the enamel stronger. We check for early signs of cavities and offer tips for better brushing at home.

Plaque is a sticky layer of bacteria that can damage teeth. It forms when food and bacteria mix. Brushing helps, but plaque can still build up over time.

How Often Should Kids Get Their Teeth Cleaned
Kids need regular teeth cleaning to stay cavity-free. Skipping cleanings can lead to dental problems later. At Campbell Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend a cleaning every six months. Some kids may need more frequent visits if they have a lot of plaque buildup.
- Every six months for most kids
- More often, if a dentist recommends it
- If kids complain about tooth pain or sensitivity
Regular cleanings help kids stay on track with their oral health. A visit every six months makes a big difference.
The Best Ways to Keep Teeth Fresh Between Cleanings
Teeth cleanings help remove plaque, but daily habits keep teeth fresh between visits. Brushing and flossing every day can stop plaque from building up. At Campbell Pediatric Dentistry, we teach kids simple ways to care for their teeth at home. Small changes in daily routines can keep teeth strong and prevent cavities.
Tips for fresh and clean teeth:
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss daily to remove food between teeth
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks
- Eat crunchy fruits and veggies to clean teeth naturally
A healthy routine keeps teeth fresh until the next dental visit. Small habits make a big difference in maintaining bright smiles.
