Your little one needs help keeping up with their smile. From the moment they start to develop teeth, bacteria are trying to pose problems, and that means that their brushing and flossing is important, even at an early age. They can’t do it all themselves, either, so it’s important to bring them in for their checkups to catch the places they miss. For most kids, that schedule asks you and your child to come into the dental office every six months to help them get a great start.
With Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, your family has an oral health team that’s ready to help. Our office is built to maintain and improve oral health, which means that we work with children and their parents to keep up with young smiles. While they are still learning how to properly brush and floss, we’re here to keep them safe from tooth decay, periodontal disease, and more through effective prevention and accurate information. So, if it has been longer than six months since their last checkup, let’s talk about your little one’s dental direction.
Children develop their dental habits at an early age. To find out more about our office or to schedule a visit, call Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.
Are You Doing Enough?
As soon as they have teeth, bacteria pose a problem. That’s because as they feed upon the remnants of food left in your child’s smile, they leave behind a harmful biofilm called plaque. This is what you brush off your teeth twice each day; if it’s left there, it calcifies into a tougher form called calculus (or tartar).
The thing is that your child does not have the ability to take care of their smile on their own. And even with your help, they still need to see their dentist twice each year for a biannual checkup. So, if it’s been a while, let’s bring them up to date.
We’re Here For Questions, Too
As pediatric dental professionals, we hear a lot of questions, from both parents and patients. Our office understands that this is a first experience for both of you, and we want you to know what’s going on. So, when it’s time for their next biannual dental checkup, bring your questions along.
We appreciate the opportunity to be a real part of their smile success story. From their first visit to the development of their wisdom teeth, we’re here to help.
