Schedule A Back-To-School Checkup!

Is your little one headed back to class this week? If so, take his opportunity to keep the focus on their health. This time of the year is perfect for their next biannual checkup and cleaning for a few different reasons. They place real value on the start of a new school year, and this can be a part of their growth. A back-to-school checkup can also help you to stick to their schedule of six-month appointments with a trusted local dental provider.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we help patients of all ages to maintain and improve their oral health. When it comes to young ones, they need consistent reminders of the importance of quality dental care, and we can help them to learn the advantages of staying on top of things. If it is time for their next biannual checkup and cleaning, take the time to bring them into our office for dedicated care. To schedule their back-to-school checkup, or one of your very own, give us a call today!

As a parent, you know how difficult it can be to have everyone’s schedule line up just right. This can make it tough to find the time to bring your child in for a routine biannual cleaning and checkup. But these appointments have value, and without them, your little one could experience a host of common oral health-related concerns. Just like you do, your child needs to see the dentist at least once every six months.

These visits have two parts, one focused on a diligent cleaning of their smile. Plaque and tartar can accumulate in their mouths just like their do in yours, so this is an important part of their oral health process. By sticking close to the dentist as they age, you can help them to have a safer smile. A cleaning can also help them to feel fresher on their first day back!

Alongside a thorough cleaning of the surface of their teeth and gumline, they also have the opportunity to talk to their provider about their oral health. Since none of us are born with an innate knowledge of how to maintain our smiles, this is a valuable part of their dental education. Having a positive relationship between provider and young patient can be of real assistance when it comes time to talk them into brushing their teeth.

If your child is heading back to school for the fall, make sure that they start the year with a cleaning and examination from a local dentist. To schedule their back-to-school checkup, call our office at Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry at 915.759.7000 today!
