How to explain
“DENTAL CLEANINGS (Prophylaxis)”
to a 5-year-old
Dental cleanings, or prophylaxis, are like giving your teeth a special spa day! Your dentist or dental hygienist will use tiny tools to clean your teeth and remove any yucky stuff like plaque and tartar. It’s super important to keep your teeth clean and shiny, just like how you brush your hair to keep it nice and smooth!
