Your child needs dental care. The goal for most of them is to come in two times each year for a cleaning and an examination. That’s on top of their home hygiene routine of brushing and flossing, so if you’ve been going a little light on their biannual dental checkups, it’s time to bring them up to speed. Take a few minutes for consistent care to keep them safe.
Our team at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY understands the importance of quality oral health treatment. We’ve worked with countless kids over the years, and we are ready to help your child grow into a happy, healthy adult smile. A big part of that effort is to keep them to a strict timeline of biannual dental checkups, so if they still have not had one in 2026, let’s put them on the schedule.
They are going to need to keep up with their smile safety for their entire lives. Make sure they’ve got a great start with a checkup from Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.
Schedule A Checkup Before Halloween Chaos
It’s almost here. Every year, the kids go absolutely crazy for candy and costumes. While it’s certainly a ton of fun, the Halloween experience can also be a real smile risk. After all, all that candy can cause tooth decay and periodontal disease if parents are not careful. Setting a daily candy limit can help families to limit consumption.
And a checkup before Halloween offers an opportunity to teach them about their oral health. By knowing the reasons why they need to brush and floss, you give them an incentive to do it well. Let’s make sure that they have the dental education that they need to make positive choices.
Are They Thinking About A Straighter Smile?
When they are in the office for their next biannual dental checkup, it’s a good time to talk about other oral health concerns, too. For many teens, that means bringing up orthodontic treatment. If they have been thinking about it, their checkups are good place to begin that discussion.
Our office offers a wide range of orthodontic solutions for teens and adults alike. Some can benefit from traditional braces, which use a system of brackets and wires to bring teeth into alignment. Clear aligner orthodontic options are also available, and these keep treatment a little more private. We can talk about their path at their visit.
