Dental Checkups & Cleanings for Kids
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth. Early checkups offer:
Dental Sealants
Your child’s back molars naturally have deep grooves in them. These grooves combined with their placement in the back of the mouth make them particularly susceptible to tooth decay as your child learns to brush and floss. Dental sealants are designed to protect these cavity-prone areas as they begin practicing healthy dental habits. This liquid composite resin is painted onto the surfaces of the teeth then hardened to form an invisible barrier that blocks harmful particles. This treatment only takes a few minutes, is completely painless, and your son or daughter can benefit from the extra protection for about a decade!
Fluoride Treatments
Baby teeth have thinner enamel than permanent teeth, making them much more susceptible to cavities. Fortunately, fluoride treatments provide a quick, easy, and safe way to protect your little one’s smile. Fluoride is a natural mineral that can be absorbed into enamel, strengthening teeth against decay and repairing minor damage. That’s why it’s included in nearly every dental healthcare product and public water sources. At the end of your child’s checkup, your South Plainfield, NJ dentist can apply a special fluoride varnish to their teeth to help keep them cavity-free between appointments.

As a parent, you undoubtedly love to see your son or daughter have fun while being active.
