Kids Teeth Cleaning in Farmington, UT
Fun, gentle cleanings that kids actually look forward to. Dr. Jimmy Doll is a board-certified pediatric dentist serving Davis County families.
Why Kids' Cleanings Are Different
A kids' teeth cleaning isn't just a scaled-down adult cleaning. Children have different needs — smaller mouths, developing teeth, and a completely different emotional experience than adults have. At Boardwalk, our team is trained specifically in pediatric dentistry. That means we use kid-sized instruments, a tell-show-do approach, and a pace that lets your child stay comfortable throughout the entire visit.
Dr. Jimmy Doll completed a 2-year residency exclusively focused on children's dental care after dental school. He knows how to read a nervous child, how to make a first cleaning feel like an adventure, and how to spot early warning signs that a general dentist might miss.
What Happens During a Kids' Teeth Cleaning
- Plaque & tartar removal: We gently remove buildup that regular brushing can't reach — especially in the back molars where kids often miss.
- Tooth polishing: A kid-friendly flavored polish leaves teeth smooth and clean.
- Fluoride treatment: A quick fluoride varnish strengthens enamel and protects against cavities.
- Exam by Dr. Doll: He checks for cavities, bite issues, gum health, and normal development — and flags anything worth watching.
- X-rays (when needed): Typically taken once a year to check between teeth and below the gumline.
- Parent debrief: We walk you through what we found, answer questions, and give you tips tailored to your child's specific teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should kids get their teeth cleaned?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends cleanings every 6 months for most children. Some kids with higher cavity risk may benefit from cleanings every 3–4 months.
At what age should a child start getting professional cleanings?
As soon as baby teeth come in — typically starting around age 1. Early cleanings help establish healthy habits and let Dr. Doll catch any issues early.
Does teeth cleaning hurt?
For most kids, a cleaning is painless. Our team uses a gentle touch and kid-friendly tools. If your child has sensitivity, let us know ahead of time and we'll adjust our approach.
