Your child’s doing a lot of things at this age. But just because they’re busy with school, sports, and social events, it doesn’t mean that you can let their oral health routine slip. Bacteria don’t care about their extracurriculars, and they are always looking for a way to pose problems within a smile. So, if it’s been longer than six months since their last biannual dental checkup, it’s time for a visit to a trusted, local dentist.
At Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, we understand the importance of oral health. We’re proud to be here for the people on the South Shore, and we wear our Long Island pride on our sleeves. One of our dentists, Dr. Erin Diamantakis, DDS, actually began her dental journey right in our chairs as a patient, following her love for smiles through to her current vocation. From your child’s first visit through to the development of their wisdom teeth, our office is built to help people just like your pride and joy.
They develop their dental habits at an early age. Keep them on the right track with consistent checkups at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.
Those Biannual Checkups Play A Real Role
If you think that your child has the ability to keep up with their smile all by themselves, you couldn’t be more wrong. You yourself need to see your dentist twice each year for a cleaning and examination, and they do, as well. These visits are their chance to check in with a qualified dental provider, so don’t put them off.
Each biannual checkup includes both a cleaning and an examination, helping kids to stay on the right track. By removing plaque and calculus (tartar) from the surface of the teeth and along the gumline, we work to avoid tooth decay and periodontal disease. And with a talk with a trusted oral health resource, they can learn a little more about their smile.
