checkup shirleyNow that we’re almost to Christmas, it’s time to think about their year. Taking a few minutes to reflect on the past 12 months is great for any of us, but it is especially helpful for parents; we’re all just learning on the job. So, ask yourself whether your child had the opportunity to meet with their dentist twice in 2025. Because if not, they are starting to fall short; the goal for most children is one checkup every six months.

When you see Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, your child has someone rooting for their oral health success. We understand what it takes to grow into a happy and healthy adult smile, and we work with families to help children grow. Their biannual checkups are a big part of making that happen, so if it’s been longer than six months since their last visit, let’s meet for a cleaning and an examination. When you are ready, we’re ready for them.

Start the new year with oral health prevention. Schedule their next checkup at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.

How Did Your Family Do In 2025?

As we head into the real heart of the holiday season, we can think back on the fun of the past year. We can also look and see where we’ve fallen short, and if your child missed a dental checkup in 2025, then this offers an opportunity. Let’s schedule their first checkup of the year around New Year’s, so you can always remember their timeline.

Their checkups really do play a big role in their smile success. These appointments include both a cleaning and an examination, working to fight back against common oral health issues like tooth decay and periodontal disease. If they missed one, we can work together to ensure that they keep to their schedule of prevention.

Setting New Year’s Resolutions For Your Child’s Smile

The new year is also a great chance to set goals for the next year. And when it comes to their oral health, there are some great ways to do it. Whether it be avoiding cavities or making orthodontic adjustments, we’ve got some ideas.

At their next checkup, ask their dentist about ways to strengthen their smile. Our office is proud to be a real resource for parents. We can help you to understand how to care for your child’s dental health, and we’ll help them to know, too.
