Prevention Feels Like a Tickle
Our hygienists specialize in small mouths and big feelings. We use extra-soft polishers, flavored prophy paste your child chooses (bubblegum beats mint every time), and the tell-show-do method — your child feels the tickly brush on a fingertip before it ever touches a tooth.
Every cleaning ends with a flossing lesson, a fluoride finish, and a report card for the fridge. Most appointments take 30–40 minutes, and parents are welcome in the room the whole time.

Flavored paste and a soft brush lift away plaque — no scraping surprises.

Your child practices on a giant tooth model, then on their own smile.

A quick protective varnish, then the treasure wall. Done in about 35 minutes.
Cleaning FAQs
How often does my child need a cleaning? –
Every six months for most kids. Children with braces, crowding, or a history of cavities sometimes do better on a 3–4 month rhythm — we'll tell you honestly which camp you're in.
Does it hurt? +
It shouldn't. Our polishers are extra-soft, we work at your child's pace, and sensitive spots get extra care. If anything feels uncomfortable, we stop and adjust.
Can I stay with my child? +
Always. Every room has a parent chair, and you're welcome to hold a hand, film the floss lesson, or just watch.
What does it cost? +
Our Gentle Cleaning and Polish is $129 including the fluoride finish. Most plans cover two cleanings a year at 100%.
