guiding their journeyAre you doing all you can to keep your child on the right oral health track? Your little one was not born with the knowledge of how to care for their smile, and that means that it’s up to you. As a parent, it can be tough to handle it all on your own, so when they need some extra help, resh out to a trusted, local pediatric dental team to find their next steps. We love the opportunity to be a part in guiding their journey to happy and healthy adult smile, one checkup at a time.

Here at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, we know that their trips to the dentist really do make a difference. They need to come into the office at least once every six months for a cleaning and an examination, and if they have started to fall behind, it’s time for a checkup. When that time comes, we’re here to help.

Help them reach a happy and healthy adult smile. Keep them close to their dentist!

Are They Up To Date With Their Checkups?

If you’re not sure, then it is time to talk to their pediatric dentist about their timeline. For most kids, the goal is to have them see their provider at least twice each year, and when that doesn’t happen, it can lead to some pretty significant problems. Just like you, your child can start to accumulate plaque and tartar buildup on the surface of their teeth, which puts them at risk of tooth decay and gingivitis.

When they come in for a checkup, they will receive a cleaning of their smile, a full visual examination, as well as any necessary imagery. We can also help them to better understand their oral health needs, so don’t put it off any longer. They need to see the dentist in order to stay on top of their smile, and we love guiding their journey.

Help Them Reach A Straighter Smile With Clear Aligners

If your child has struggled with their smile due to misalignment or malocclusion, we’re here to help. We have a range of orthodontic options available to help them see the smile they deserve, including clear aligners from Invisalign®. This innovative approach uses the same trusted principles as traditional braces, but in a more private way. With Invisalign®, your teen can pop in their clear aligners and start to work on improving their smile.
