Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my child get a dental checkup and cleaning?
We recommend scheduling a visit every six months. Regular checkups help us monitor ongoing development, clean hard-to-reach areas, and prevent cavities before they start.
What happens during a routine pediatric cleaning?
We will gently brush and polish your child’s teeth, clean away plaque, inspect their gums, and perform a full exam, all in a fun & relaxed environment.
Are routine cleanings painful for young children?
Not at all! Our team uses gentle, child-sized instruments and a compassionate touch to ensure every cleaning is completely comfortable and worry-free.
Should my child receive fluoride treatments during checkups?
Fluoride strengthens developing enamel against decay. We will evaluate your child’s specific needs and local WNY water quality to offer tailored recommendations.
How can I prepare my child for their routine exam?
Keep conversations positive! Read fun books about dental visits or tell them the doctor will be “counting and shining” their teeth to make it sound like a exciting visit.
Are preventive checkups covered by local Buffalo insurance?
Yes, routine cleanings at Buffalo Smiles for Kids are covered by most major WNY insurance plans, including BCBS of WNY, Delta Dental, Cigna, and more.
