Preventive Dental Exams & Cleanings in a Boutique Atlanta Practice
At Dentistry for Children and Teens, our routine cleanings and dental exams are the foundation of lifelong oral health. Our Atlanta-based practice specializes exclusively in pediatric, teen, and young adult dental care — offering preventive services tailored to each stage of growth, from toddlers to college-aged patients.
Led by board-certified pediatric dentists, our cleanings and check-ups go beyond the basics. We blend compassionate care with advanced technology, providing thorough diagnostic evaluations and gentle cleanings — all within a calm, boutique setting.
Whether your child needs their first cleaning at 1.5 years old or your teen is preparing for braces, we offer individualized care that supports healthy smiles at every age.
What’s Included in Our Pediatric & Teen Cleanings
Our dental cleanings and exams are customized based on age, risk factors, and dental development. Each appointment typically includes:
- A professional dental cleaning (prophylaxis)
- Diagnostic digital X-rays (as needed)
- Comprehensive dental exam by a board-certified pediatric dentist
- Fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel
- Oral hygiene instruction tailored to age and needs
- Risk assessment for cavities and gum health
These visits are also a key time for parents and teens to ask questions about brushing, flossing, diet, or upcoming orthodontic care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question
Answer
How often should my child get a dental cleaning?
We recommend dental cleanings and exams every six months for most patients. However, children with a higher risk for cavities may benefit from more frequent visits. We’ll provide a customized schedule based on your child’s needs.
At what age should my child have their first dental visit?
Our board-certified pediatric dentists see patients as young as 1.5 years old. Early dental visits help prevent future issues and establish healthy habits from the start.
Do you offer dental cleanings for teens and young adults?
Yes. We specialize in care for preteens, teens, and young adults, offering dental cleanings that fit their oral development, including preparing for or maintaining braces or clear aligners.
Is fluoride safe for my child?
Absolutely. Fluoride treatments are a safe and effective way to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. We tailor fluoride use based on age, risk, and individual health.
Do you accept Medicaid?
No. Our practice is a private PPO-only provider. We do not accept Medicaid and are not in-network with government-sponsored plans.
