Preventative Care and Routine Exams
Keeping Little Smiles Healthy for Life
At Christensen Pediatric Dental, we believe that prevention is the key to a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our Preventative Care and Routine Exams focus on proactive care, helping children establish strong oral habits while catching potential issues early.
With gentle, comprehensive checkups, we create a positive dental experience so your child can feel comfortable and confident at every visit.
Why Preventative Care Matters
Preventative dental care helps children avoid cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems before they start. Regular visits allow our team to monitor dental development, provide professional cleanings, and offer personalized guidance for at-home care. By prioritizing prevention, we can reduce the need for more extensive treatments in the future—keeping your child’s smile bright and healthy.
What to Expect During a Routine Exam
Each visit to our Ogden office includes:
- Comprehensive Oral Examination: Our pediatric dentist will assess your child’s teeth, gums, and overall oral development to ensure everything is on track.
- Professional Cleaning: Our gentle cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone can’t reach, reducing the risk of cavities.
- Fluoride Treatment: We offer fluoride applications to help strengthen enamel and protect against decay.
- Digital X-Rays (as needed): If necessary, we use safe, low-radiation digital X-rays to check for cavities, monitor tooth development, and assess overall oral health.
- Personalized Prevention Plan: We provide tailored recommendations for at-home oral care, including brushing techniques, flossing guidance, and dietary tips to promote strong teeth.
Building Healthy Habits at Home
A strong home care routine is just as important as regular dental visits. We encourage parents to:
- Help children brush twice a day with toothpaste.
- Floss daily once teeth begin to touch.
- Maintain a balanced diet and limit unhealthy snacks.
- Encourage drinking plenty of water to keep mouths clean and hydrated.
Our team is always here to support parents and answer any questions about keeping your child’s teeth and gums in top shape!

“Always so impressed with this office. Dr Christensen in thorough and so kind to my kids. They give an estimate of the total cost BEFORE doing any procedures so there are no surprises. There are kids movies on, give fun Disney toothbrushes, and get a toy after their appointment. My kids were so nervous the first visit, but love going now. Such a good find!”
