Children's Dental Exams & Cleanings in Chevy Chase, MD

Building the Foundation for Lifelong Oral Health

At Metropolitan Pediatric Dentistry, our primary goal is to ensure the long-term oral health of our young patients. Regular exams and cleanings are crucial to providing the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Here’s what you can expect and why these visits are so important:

Why Regular Pediatric Dental Exams are Essential:

  • Early Detection: Regular exams allow us to catch potential dental issues early, often leading to simpler and less invasive treatments.
  • Preventive Care: We focus on preventing dental problems before they start, educating children and parents about effective oral hygiene practices.
  • Customized Dental Guidance: Each child receives personalized advice and care based on their unique dental needs and habits.

What Happens During a Pediatric Dental Exam?

  • Thorough Inspection: Our expert team will carefully examine your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of dental issues.
  • Gentle Cleaning: Our dental hygienists gently clean your child’s teeth, removing plaque and tartar that can lead to cavities or gum disease.
  • Fluoride Treatment: We may recommend a fluoride treatment to strengthen the teeth and prevent decay.
  • Digital X-Rays: If necessary, we use low-radiation digital X-rays to get a detailed view of your child’s dental health.
