Make A Point To Teach ThemYour child was not born with a built-in knowledge of how to care for their smile. That’s something that you have to teach them, and it can be tough to do on your own. Once they start to have teeth, they are supposed to see their dentist at least twice a year. It’s an opportunity to talk to an oral health professional, and that’s a real advantage. So, if it’s been longer than six months since their last visit, we’re here for them.

With our team at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, your family has an educational resource. We understand that it takes a little time to teach them how to take care of their teeth; we also know that their checkups are a big part of that process. Each biannual checkup includes a thorough cleaning of the surface of their teeth, a visual examination from a qualified pediatric dentist, and a chance to talk oral health. Schedule a back-to-school checkup today to start their fall semester off right.

Having a dedicated pediatric dentist is a great way to teach them how to take care of their teeth. Call Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry to put your little one on the schedule.

Have They Had Their First Visit?

As parents, it can be truly tough to know some things. After all, you’re not given an owner’s manual with your child. But there are important milestones to look out for, and when it comes to their smile, they need to start seeing their dentist early. As soon as they have teeth, or around their first birthday, it’s important to schedule their first visit.

Our office understands that that’s an important appointment. Tell us all about your child, and we can work to make their experience a great one. We love to be a real part of their smile success story.

Teach Them To Care For Their Teeth

When your family brings your child in for their first visit at the dentist, we’re looking at a few things. Like with your smile, we need to make sure that we remove plaque and calculus buildup from the surface of the teeth. Those cleanings are vital!

We’ll also use a visual examination to see how they’re developing. By keeping them to a strict schedule of biannual checkups, you work to catch issues soon after they start. That’s a real oral health advantage, so don’t put them off.
