We’re at that point of the year again. That’s right, it’s the start of a new school year; if your child is due for a visit to the dentist, it is a good time to focus on their oral health, too. Kids are just trained to look for this time as an exciting one, so while you are getting them ready, be sure their smile has the care it needs, as well. We’re here to help with that.
Our South Shore team at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY wants your teen to start school with a cleaner, fresher smile. We understand the importance of routine prevention, meaning those biannual checkups are essential to their care. Each one includes a thorough cleaning of the surface of their teeth as well as a visual examination.

How Long Has It Been Since Their Last Checkup, Really?
As a parent in 2026, we know that your time is tight. But when it comes to your child’s oral health journey, it is essential to keep them to the right schedule. Their smiles are simply developing at a rapid pace, and at the same time, they are forming their dental habits. Consistent checkups give their dentist the chance to check in and see how things are coming along.
When they are in for their visit, they will receive two things: a cleaning and an examination. The cleaning portion entails spending a little time with a dental hygienist, who removes built-up plaque and calculus. Along with their cleaning, they’ll also receive a visual examination from a trusted, caring pediatric dentist.
