Your kids’ smiles might seem like they’re much stronger than yours, if not immune to problems. That is, until a toothache develops, a cavity is detected, etc. So, what can you do this year to steer those smiles toward success instead of problems? We encourage you you do a couple very easy things throughout 2018 to promote children’s dental care that’s effective. Fortunately, not a whole lot is going to change as far as your responsibilities go but you can expect positive results from some little tweaks.
Goal: Complete Both Required Visits (And More)
We know that on the list (which is very long) of things to do regarding yourself and the rest of your family, your children’s dental care is not always at the very top. Fortunately, when it comes to the care they need from us, it’s just two appointments annually. Make yourself some reminders to get those cleanings and visits set up every six months (or simply call today to get them scheduled). Easy! (Remember, too, that if your child requires additional treatments like restorations, the sooner we complete them, the easier it is to protect your son or daughter’s oral health).
Goal: Track Preventive Care
Do you sort of pay attention to the care that your kids are accomplishing with their smiles? Why not get on track with your children’s dental care by coming up with a system of tracking the details. Check in every day to make sure kids are brushing two times and that they are flossing, too! Whether you’ve got younger kids or teens, this is always important. The better their care at home, the easier it is for them to keep their smiles safe from issues like cavities.
