One of the many things that kids look forward to during summer break is school shopping for the following year. It can be hard to choose out all these new clothes and not wear them until the school year starts! Some children choose their first outfit weeks ahead of time. Do they know what the best accessory is? A bright, healthy smile! It’s important to get your children into visit their family dentist in Dallas, GA before school starts back up! Here’s why you should consider scheduling an appointment before you become too busy to visit during the school year.
1. Maintain their relationship with their dentist in Dallas, Ga.
We have a kid-friendly office environment with staff members that work awesomely with children of all ages from infants to teens. We believe building a good relationship with your dental professionals is important to the future of your child’s oral health. You eliminate the chances of your child developing dental phobia or anxiety as a teen/adult by making them familiar with their dentist now. When you think about the bigger picture, you could be saving lots of money in dental care from attending preventive care appointments.
2. You get reassurance that your child is developing healthily.
Your son or daughter’s teeth are constantly going through changes. As they grow and develop, so will their smiles. Depending on their habits (like thumb sucking or chewing on ice) they may encounter dental problems. It’s important to bring them to visit Distinctive Dentistry so that either Dr. Shirley or Dr. Bickford can routinely check on their development. This way, we can address dental problems in their initial stages.
3. Keep work to keep your child’s mouth clean.
Many children don’t enjoy their dental routine, which makes it less likely that they’re being thorough. Professional cleanings are essential for getting the debris and buildup that have been missed. This can be really important in the summer because your child may be exposed to more sweet summer treats that catalyze dental decay like popsicles, snow cones, and slushies when it’s hot out.
4. They will receive quality preventive care.
An essential part of having regular dental checkups for your young ones is finding cavities before they get worse. Neglecting cavities—or neglecting the opportunity to spot them—leaves room for their adult teeth to grow incorrectly and continue the vicious cycle of bad oral health.
5. They will learn how to care for their own teeth properly.
A dental office may not be initially inviting to a child, but we teach brushing and flossing techniques in a way that will intrigue your sons and daughters. We can also give parents tips and tricks to make brushing and flossing at home more engaging and easy.
