prevention shirley nyPhew! We’re finally through Halloween. After all of that fun out there trick-or-treating, they’ve probably got a pretty big stock of candy that they’re trying to tackle. Taking the time for a biannual dental checkup right now, before Thanksgiving, can help your family to stay on track.

Our helpful, local team at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY understands the importance of persistent prevention. We work with families to improve oral health through consistent checkups, restoration, and more. This time of the year, keeping an extra close eye on their smile is a real advantage. Their dental insurance benefits also do not roll over into next year, so be sure to schedule a visit before the hectic holiday season kicks in. If you’re thinking about gifting them orthodontic improvement, too, start with a visit for a cleaning and an examination.

Are they going to see some family that they haven’t seen in a while? Make sure their smile is clean while they say hello. Schedule their next biannual dental checkup at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.

Time Is Running Out To Use Their Insurance Benefits

Unlike some other forms of insurance, dental insurance benefits can expire at the end of the year. That means that many families out there leave money on the table by putting off their children’s dental health treatment. While we definitely know that time can get the best of parents, you want to use what you pay for. Your kids need dedicated dental care, too.

Your team only has two more months for their visit. While it might seem like a lot of time, there are some things to keep in mind. The end of the year is always busier for dental offices, so don’t put their next checkup off any longer. Schedule an appointment now and be ready for Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Means Seeing Friends And Family

Showing up to a family event or school function with a dirty smile can be rough. Their grandparents and other assorted family members want to see your little ones at their best, too. At their biannual checkup, we will remove plaque and calculus through a cleaning with a dental hygienist.

That time spent with a hygienist keeps them healthy. Cleanings help them to avoid problems like tooth decay and periodontal disease. After all of that Halloween candy, take a few minutes for their next biannual checkup.
