Absolutely none of us on this planet were born with some inherent knowledge of how to care for our oral health needs. We all needed someone to teach us how to properly care for our smiles, including how and when to brush, floss, and see the dentist for routine checkups.

We’re here for our patients from their first visit, and we really do appreciate the opportunity to be a part of their smile success story.

Is it time for a biannual dental checkup? Your child means the world to you, and in order to keep them safe, you need to keep them close to their dentist. For most children, that means coming into the office twice each year for a cleaning and examination; these help them to avoid plaque and tartar buildup, while giving them helpful tools in learning how to brush and floss. Even though they will inevitably lose their first set of teeth, it’s important that they keep them clean until it’s their natural time to go.

Here at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, we understand the value of quality, consistent prevention. That’s why we work to keep little smiles safe, and we can help your family to stay on top of your oral health needs, as well. If it’s been longer than six months since the last time that your child was in the office for a cleaning and an examination, come see our team.

Your child means the world to you, and so, you do all that you can to keep them safe. That means taking the time for their health needs, and if you’ve been skipping their routine dental checkups, it’s time to make a change. Little smiles need to see their dentist at least twice each year in order to keep them on the right track; when they miss their schedule, they become at risk of the same concerns as adults, including gingivitis and tooth decay.

With our friendly group at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, your child has the opportunity to keep up with their oral health needs. They might be too small to understand the long-term importance of smile maintenance, but they can learn with a trusted and talented team of pediatric dental professionals. We love the chance to be able to teach them how to care for their teeth, so they can grow into a happy and healthy adult smile.

Are you keeping your child on the right schedule of dental visits? For most kids, it’s necessary to come in at least twice each year for a cleaning and an examination. If your little one is due for a dental checkup, the start of the year is a great opportunity to get them on a positive schedule of preventive care. This way, you know that every year, your child needs to start the year with a checkup, and they’ll have another visit over the summer vacation.

That’s why, here at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, we appreciate parents’ New Years’ resolutions to improve oral health for the whole family. If it’s time for your child’s next cleaning and examination, come spend a little time with our team. We can help them to understand their oral health, remove biofilm, and set them up for smile success.

Begin 2025 with a dental checkup. Call Shirley today.

Your little one has their own dental needs. That means that, just like you, they have to see the dentist at least twice each year for routine preventive care, and the start of the year can be a great time to bring them in. This way, each year, you have a calendar reminder that it’s time for their first checkup in January, and the other can be over their summer holiday. So, if you’re ready, now’s the perfect time to care for their smile.

With Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, you have a dedicated oral health team for your little one. We understand that young smiles have their own needs, and with them can come some problems. Like you do, they are susceptible to plaque and tartar accumulation, putting them at risk of tooth decay, periodontal disease, and more. Keep them on the right track with consistent checkups from a quality provider.

Your child’s smile lights up your world. Make sure that you put the time into making sure that they have what they need to keep it safe. From the moment that they start to develop teeth, they become at risk of developing some common oral health conditions like tooth decay and periodontal disease. Your little one also learns their dental habits at an early age, so keeping them to the right schedule of preventive care can help them to learn their smile.

With Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, you can have a trusted local provider who cares. We are here to help little ones grow into their smiles, and that starts with a dedication to their biannual checkups. These may seem easy to postpone, but doing so puts your child at real risk of oral health issues. Stop putting them off and bring your little one in for their next visit!
