As a parent, your little one means all the world to you. That means that you do everything that you can to make sure that they have what they need to grow up in a happy and healthy way. Since they are too small to handle their health on their own, keeping them on the right schedule of healthcare appointments is up to you, and that includes their visits to the dentist for routine biannual checkups. You’re the adult, so it’s your responsibility to keep up with their smile.

Here at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, we appreciate the opportunity to be a part of their smile success story. From the emergence of their very first tooth through to their third and final set of molars, we’re here to guide them to a healthy adult smile. That takes dedication from the parents, so be sure to keep them on the right schedule of cleanings and examinations.

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 dental needs start from the moment that they receive their first tooth. Once this happens, they should see their dentist at least twice each year for a cleaning and examination, and they without the right care, they could start to experience the same oral health issues that you do. Plaque and tartar buildup can happen in their young smiles, leading to gum concerns and tooth decay. Even though they will eventually lose their first set of teeth, it is important for them to learn how to maintain them, and premature tooth loss can lead to a need for orthodontic intervention.
