What Is Pedodontic Teeth Cleaning?
Pedodontic Teeth Cleaning is a professional dental procedure designed specifically for children. It involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and surface stains through scaling, polishing, and in some cases, airflow cleaning. This treatment helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while promoting a cleaner, brighter smile. It also allows early detection of dental issues such as decay or misalignment. Regular cleanings support healthy oral development and encourage positive dental habits from a young age.
How It Works
Pedodontic Teeth Cleaning begins with a gentle examination of the teeth and gums, followed by scaling to remove plaque and hardened tartar using specialized ultrasonic or manual instruments. After scaling, polishing is done with a soft rubber cup and child-friendly polishing paste to smooth the tooth surfaces and remove minor stains.
In some cases, airflow technology may be used. This involves a controlled jet of air, water, and fine powder (often sodium bicarbonate) to clean hard-to-reach areas more comfortably and effectively. The entire process is designed to be gentle, safe, and efficient for young patients.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between teeth cleaning and scaling?
A1: Teeth cleaning refers to the overall process of removing plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth. Scaling is a specific part of cleaning that focuses on removing hardened tartar buildup from the tooth surface and below the gum line using special tools.
Q2: How often should I get Pedodontic Teeth Cleaning?
A2: It is generally recommended every 6 months. However, some children may need more frequent cleanings if they have a higher risk of cavities or gum problems.
Q3: What not to do after Pedodontic Teeth Cleaning?
A3: Avoid eating hard, sticky, or coloured foods and drinks for a few hours after cleaning, especially if fluoride was applied. Also, avoid brushing aggressively right after the appointment to prevent gum irritation.
Q4: Can I eat after Pedodontic Teeth Cleaning?
A4: Yes, eating is allowed after Teeth Cleaning. However, if fluoride treatment was applied, it is best to wait 30 to 60 minutes before eating or drinking to maximize its effect.
Q5: Will my child’s teeth be whiter after Pedodontic Teeth Cleaning?
A5: Yes, cleaning removes surface stains and plaque, which makes teeth look brighter. However, it does not change the natural tooth colour like whitening treatments do.
