Helping your child build strong oral health habits starts earlier than many parents realize. At Kindred Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Meghanne Kruizenga and her caring team are dedicated to making every dental visit feel safe, positive, and even fun.
One of the most vital parts of your child’s dental routine? Regular cleanings. These appointments do more than clean teeth. They also support long-term health, help detect common oral health concerns early, and reduce the need for future treatments in a setting tailored just for kids.
It’s easy to think of dental cleanings as simply removing plaque and polishing teeth. But for growing smiles, they’re so much more. Pediatric dental cleanings are preventive in nature, aiming to protect your child from the most common childhood dental issues. Many of these can develop without parents noticing. A few benefits of routine cleanings include:
At Kindred Pediatric Dentistry, these visits are designed to be supportive and engaging for children at every stage of development, helping them feel confident in caring for their own smile.

Dr. Meghanne Kruizenga’s extensive experience in pediatric care ensures each visit is handled with patience and expertise. She recognizes that no two children are alike. A consistent care routine builds a foundation not only for good oral health, but also for lowering dental anxiety later in life.
What truly sets pediatric cleanings apart at Kindred Pediatric Dentistry is the environment we create for young patients. Our office is designed specifically with children in mind. From the friendly colors on the walls to the calming tone of every team member, every element is child-focused. Here’s what makes the experience so unique:
By placing your child’s comfort and trust at the center of every visit, we make dental cleanings something to look forward to, not fear.
Parents play a crucial role in instilling healthy routines at home. At each dental cleaning, we take time to educate and involve you just as much as your child. We’ll share tips, tools, and insights tailored to your family’s lifestyle so brushing, flossing, and healthy eating routines can naturally develop at home.
Working closely with Dr. Meghanne and our team helps parents stay ahead of common issues while reinforcing a “team effort” mentality that boosts compliance and success in kids. Regular dental cleanings serve as a cornerstone of early intervention, awareness, and preventive care. All of this is delivered in one family-oriented visit.
At Kindred Pediatric Dentistry, we believe every child deserves thoughtful, individualized care that helps them grow up with healthy, confident smiles. Regular dental cleanings are a simple yet essential part of that journey. If you're in Beaumont and ready to book your child's next visit, we’d love to welcome your family into ours.
