Your little one needs your help. They were not born with a knowledge of how to care for their smile, and when you forget to schedule their biannual checkups, you put them at real risk. These visits are their opportunity to come in and have a chat with a qualified pediatric oral health professional, so make sure that they stick to their schedule of checkups. And while they are here, have them bring all of their health-related questions with them!
Here at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, we understand that it’s tough to figure out your schedule as a parent. But we also know the power that comes with a positive schedule of prevention, and that’s why we stress so much the importance of keeping them to their timeline of treatment.
