At Big Apple Pediatric Dentistry in Phoenix, AZ, routine exams, cleaning, and X-rays are more than basic dental services. They're the foundation of lifelong oral health for children of all ages. These essential preventative treatments help Dr. Henry Martinez identify small issues before they become big problems.
Using a compassionate, child-friendly approach, our team ensures your child feels comfortable and safe throughout every visit. Whether it’s your toddler’s first dental exam or your teen’s routine check-up, we tailor care to fit each child’s unique needs. Kids of all ages can get the comprehensive exams, thorough cleanings, and digital X-rays they need to keep their smiles vibrant and cavity-free.
Routine exams, cleaning, and X-rays aren’t just part of a dental checklist. Rather, they’re vital to your child’s long-term health. These appointments allow Dr. Martinez to monitor your child’s dental development, detect cavities early, and maintain optimal oral hygiene.
Cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can miss, while digital X-rays give us a detailed view below the surface, ensuring no concern goes unnoticed. Pediatric dental problems can develop fast, and young children might not always express discomfort clearly.
That’s why consistent checkups are so important. Coming in every six months helps us catch issues early, guide erupting teeth properly, and build trust with your child. This makes each visit easier over time. Our warm, welcoming office in Phoenix was designed with children in mind, so every dental experience feels safe, supportive, and even fun.

Prevent Serious Dental Issues
Early detection prevents minor concerns from becoming painful or costly problems, such as tooth decay or infections. Regular monitoring ensures your child stays on the path to a healthy, confident smile.
Promote Healthy Habits
Routine visits help reinforce positive brushing and flossing routines. Our team provides hands-on education in a way kids understand and enjoy, creating a strong foundation for lifelong oral wellness.
Ensure Comfortable Dental Growth
From monitoring jaw development to tracking baby teeth transitions, routine X-rays and checkups help keep an eye on your child’s mouth as they grow. This proactive approach supports proper bite alignment and easier orthodontic planning if needed.
Comprehensive Dental Exam
Dr. Martinez begins each routine visit with a gentle but thorough dental examination, checking your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw. He evaluates for early signs of cavities, alignment issues, or developmental concerns. Every child is different, so we take time to answer questions, engage your child in the process, and adapt our approach according to their comfort level.
Professional Cleaning
Our experienced team performs a gentle cleaning using specialized pediatric tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup. We polish the teeth to reduce stains and apply professional-grade fluoride to strengthen enamel. It’s always our goal to make cleanings enjoyable, turning a chore into a cheerful experience with familiar faces and encouraging care.
Low-Radiation Digital X-Rays
When necessary, we use safe, low-dose digital X-rays to get a detailed look at the health and formation of your child’s teeth. These images help identify concerns not visible to the naked eye, such as cavities between teeth or developing orthodontic issues. We review everything with parents so you're fully informed about your child’s current and future oral health needs.
