Children’s Checkups Are A Part Of Growing Up

Have you been doing all you can to give your child a great start? Well, if you’ve been going a little lax on their dental checkups, then the answer is no. Most children need these visits every six months, giving their provider the chance to check in twice each year. This mirrors your own timeline, so if your team’s in need of a refresh, our team is here for it.

At Gentle Smiles in Dallas, TX, we understand the importance of quality smile care. That starts at home with their brushing and flossing, and their biannual checkups play a huge role in their oral health journey, too. So, when your child is due for a dental checkup, give us a call.

Their smiles develop at a quick pace. Schedule their next visit at Gentle Smiles.

Are They Due for a Dental Visit?

It is time for your little one to see the dentist, and these appointments are so important for setting them up for a great smile! Just like you, children should come in to see their oral healthcare team twice a year to talk about their smile needs. This means if it has been longer than six months, then it is time to bring them back to our office. And if they are ready for their very first visit, we would love to meet them!

Taking the time for their checkups is an important part of growing up. The simple truth of the matter is that they just don’t have the ability to keep up with their smile all on their own. We’re here to help them stay healthy with examinations, cleanings, and further treatment, should they need it. But if you’re skipping their checkups, they lose out on an opportunity to open up a one-on-one with a trusted oral health provider.

Helping Them Learn About Keeping Their Teeth Healthy

As they grow, they will need a little guidance while they learn how to care for their smile. The truth is that they simply cannot yet understand the long-term impact of their actions at this age, so it is up to you to help them along the way. Having a helping hand is a big part of any success story, and we are happy to assist your little ones in learning what they need.

At their appointment, please encourage them to ask any and all of their oral health questions. We truly enjoy the opportunity to be a real partner in their smile success, and we know that all begins with a great conversation at their next biannual checkup.

Schedule Their Checkups At Gentle Smiles
