keep an eye on their smileYour little one means the world to you, and they rely on you to stay safe. They do not have the ability to schedule their own dental appointments, so if it has been longer than six months since their last checkup, take the time to bring them in for a cleaning and examination. We can help you to keep an eye on their smile as they grow, so they can develop into a happy and healthy adult smile. That starts with a dedication to their dentistry.

Here at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, we work hard to help little ones learn their smiles. Beginning with their first visit, we appreciate the opportunity to be a part of their smile story and teach your little ones how to properly care for their smile, and we stick with them through the development of their wisdom teeth and beyond. If your child is due for some positive prevention, come spend a little time with a trusted, local dental team.

Keep an eye on their oral health development. Keep them on the right schedule of dental checkups.

Are You Sticking To Their Schedule?

Just like you do, your little one needs to see the dentist from time to time. For most children, that means coming in for a checkup twice each year, and if yours has not been in in the last six months, then it’s time for their next appointment. These visits are vital to their smile success, so it’s important to stick to their schedule.

As in adult smiles, children can develop plaque and tartar accumulation on the surface of their teeth and along their gumline. This can cause tooth decay, and nobody wants cavities; it can also mean periodontal problems, which puts their smile at real risk. So, be sure that you’re doing all you can to keep them safe.

Help Your Child Learn Their Smile

When they come in for a checkup, it’s about more than just receiving a cleaning. It’s also their opportunity to have a real one-on-one with a trusted dental provider. They have questions about their oral health, and we are here to help them understand their mouths so they can better keep them safe.

And if it’s time to talk orthodontic treatment, we’re here for them, too. Ask about all of their options, including advanced Invisalign® clear aligner therapy, which uses a nearly invisible set of aligner trays to help them reach their smile goals.
