Children’s Teeth Cleaning
Maintaining your child’s oral health is essential from an early age. One common issue that can affect children—even at a young age—is the buildup of tartar (calculus) on their teeth. At Dr. Ammar Clinics, we offer professional, gentle dental cleaning specifically tailored for kids to remove tartar and keep their smiles bright and healthy.
What Is Tartar and Why Does It Form?
Tartar is hardened plaque that sticks to the teeth and can’t be removed by regular brushing. It forms when plaque is left on the teeth for too long and mixes with minerals in the saliva. Even with good hygiene habits, children can develop tartar—especially in hard-to-reach areas.
If not treated, tartar can lead to:
-
Gum inflammation (gingivitis)
-
Bad breath
-
Cavities
-
Early gum disease
Signs Your Child May Need a Dental Cleaning
-
Yellow or brown buildup near the gum line
-
Bleeding when brushing
-
Persistent bad breath
-
Gums that look swollen or red
-
Your child hasn't had a professional cleaning in over 6 months
How We Remove Tartar from Children’s Teeth
At Dr. Ammar Clinics, we use gentle and child-friendly techniques to clean teeth and remove tartar safely:
-
Initial checkup – We examine your child’s teeth and gums carefully
-
Ultrasonic scaling or manual tools – We gently remove tartar using specialized equipment designed for pediatric care
-
Polishing – The teeth are polished to remove surface stains and make it harder for new plaque to stick
-
Fluoride treatment (if needed) – To strengthen the enamel and protect against cavities
Is It Painful for Kids?
Not at all. The procedure is completely safe and painless. We use calming techniques and a soft approach so your child feels relaxed throughout the cleaning. Many kids even enjoy the process once they know what to expect.
How Often Should Children Get Their Teeth Cleaned?
Children should have a dental cleaning every 6 months, or more frequently if their dentist recommends it. Regular cleanings help prevent tartar buildup and catch any dental issues early.
