Pediatric Dentistry: Helpful Holiday Tips

In addition to reminding yourself to write lists, to pick up everything you need for the holidays, and to make sure your own dental care is in order this season, you’ve got something else to do that weighs on your mind: Consider the oral health of your kiddos, too! Trust us when we say, our pediatric dentistry team understands what you’re going through. To help out a bit, we’ve got some tips that can take a bit of tension out of the mix, so you can enjoy yourself!

Tip: Feel Comfortable Setting Limits At A Hosted Dinner Gatherings

Does your child have an allergy to certain ingredients? Maybe you don’t let your kids eat brittle-type desserts because you want to protect their teeth. Perhaps you’re not a fan of giving soda to your children because of potential oral health problems. These are all things we admire from a pediatric dentistry standpoint! Remember, when you’re at a holiday gathering, protecting your kids’ smiles is a wonderful choice! Ask questions, set limits, and remember that you should feel perfectly comfortable along the way!

Tip: Don’t Stress Too Much

Practicing pediatric dentistry allows us to come into contact with many, many parents. As a result, we know that it can become very easy to feel stressed when you’re trying to protect your children’s smiles. We encourage you, when you can, to sit back, relax, and remember that we are here to help if your kids need dental care! (Also: Remember that if your children have dental sealants, they have extra protection as they’re digging into that piece of pumpkin pie!).
