Gentle Kids Teeth Cleaning and Fluoride in Bakersfield
For Bakersfield parents who want a calm, friendly dentist their child will know by name. We clean your child's teeth with gentle tools and go at their pace.
What happens at a kids teeth cleaning?
At Just For Kids & Family Too Dental in Bakersfield, CA, our team cleans your child's teeth and gums, removes plaque and tartar, and polishes away surface stains. We use gentle tools and go at your child's pace, and we welcome Medi-Cal Dental and PPO plans.
How we clean your child's teeth
Our team cleans your child's teeth and gums, removes plaque and tartar, and polishes away surface stains. We work gently and talk your child through each step. Cleanings do not usually hurt. If your child is nervous, we can use nitrous oxide, or laughing gas. Your child breathes it through a small nose mask and stays awake.
The Cavitron for a gentle cleaning
The Cavitron is a cleaning tool that uses gentle vibrations instead of scraping. That makes cleanings quicker and more comfortable for kids who are sensitive. Your child gets a fresh, clean smile without the worry.
Fluoride and Silver Diamine Fluoride
A fluoride treatment helps make teeth stronger. Silver Diamine Fluoride is a liquid that helps stop a cavity from growing. We paint it on the cavity. It can turn the cavity spot dark. Ask us if it is a good fit for your child, and we will explain it in plain words.
Clean and safe tools
Every instrument is washed, disinfected, cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner, wrapped, and heat sterilized. Your child's safety is part of every visit. Good habits started young can last a lifetime, and we help your family build them.
Helping your child feel ready
Please arrive on time for your child's cleaning. Ask us any questions before we start. We explain each step in kid friendly words so your child knows what is happening. We never rush, and we go at your child's pace.
If your child has had a hard time at the dentist before, tell us. We have helped many nervous kids feel calm again. We take the time to make each visit feel safe and easy.
Healthy habits for life
Clean teeth start at home, and we help your family build good habits. Help your child brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and floss once a day. Offer healthy snacks and limit sugary drinks. Small steps now can mean fewer cavities later.
We also take time to teach your child how to brush and floss the right way. When kids learn to care for their teeth, they feel proud of their smile. We make it fun and simple, never scary.
We accept Medi-Cal Dental and PPO dental plans. Call our front desk to set up your child's next cleaning.
