You may be wondering why we think it’s to your benefit to schedule a pediatric dentistry visit now that we have finally made our way into autumn. Well, let’s begin with a hint: It’s almost holiday time. Yep, that means a lot of sugar, winter vacation, and more. Fortunately, coming in for a visit now will make this time of year much easier in relation to keeping your kids’ smiles healthy. Learn more!

Let’s Talk Holiday Season Stuff

A pediatric dentistry visit is a wonderful time to talk about how to manage your child’s oral health over the quickly approaching holiday season. We can explain how to handle all of the sugar-laden treats that are coming your way, how to keep your child’s teeth safe, and how you can feel good about the choices you’re making! It sounds overwhelming but you will find that when you feel informed, making decisions is a breeze.

Let’s Place (Or Check) Sealants

In reference to those sugary delights that are heading our way this autumn and that will last well through December, remember that dental sealants can help. They seal out sugars, bacteria, and more, so hard-to-access back teeth remain protected! Whether it’s time for us to check on existing sealants or to place dental sealants, it is certainly time to set up a pediatric dentistry visit!

Let’s Discuss Wisdom Teeth

Is your child an older teenager? If so, it’s a good idea to check in on your teen’s teeth. When wisdom teeth make their arrival (generally in the older teen years through one’s early 20s), removing them immediately if they appear to be problematic is the best option. This will help prevent problems like discomfort, infections, cyst formation, difficulty managing dental hygiene, shifting teeth, and more. Fortunately, if we detect concerns now, you will be able to schedule a convenient removal for winter break.
