Why do we offer preventive dental care for families, you wonder? Well, because everyone in the family has plaque on their teeth, which can lead to serious problems like cavities (and gum disease and worse!). Of course, everyone in the family deserves a healthy smile that stays that way, too. Curious about how to make every member of your little group feel positive about care (and how to make it easier)? Fortunately, we have some easy-to-follow, helpful tips to allow you to do just that!
Tip #1: Make Everything Fun
When it comes to any member of the family, it’s a good idea to make dental care fun. How to do this? Do what comes naturally to you is what we suggest! For instance, if you have young children, brush and floss together as a family and make it enjoyable. Listen to music, dance around a little bit, and keep it lighthearted!
Tip #2: Let Your Little Ones Get Involved
When you are looking for ways to ensure your kids enjoy dental care, too, you will want to think like a kid. What interests your little ones? Certain cartoons? Special colors? Anything glittery? Bring them into the dental hygiene aisle to let them help you choose a new toothbrush, a special toothpaste flavor, and floss.
Tip #3: Schedule, Schedule, Schedule
You’ll want to spend some time scheduling if you want dental care for your family to be easy. Here are some things to consider:
- Have everyone brush and floss at the same time every day to avoid any confusion, frustration, or tears
- Contact us well in advance of your need for visits, so we can get it all on the books before you are in sudden need of care
