Summertime And the Livin’ Is Easy With A Dental Visit

Summertime is a wonderful time for kids and parents. The kids get a few months to spend time at the pool and hang out with their friends while getting into who-knows-what. It’s a great time for parents, too, as they can sit back and not have to worry about school projects, or PTA meetings or anything else that’s school related. Now that you have all this time on your hands, don’t you think it’s time that you take your kids in for a dental checkup? There have for sure been lots of sugary treats consumed over the past couple of months, and we think it would be a good decision to bring them in so we can ensure that their teeth are in tip-top shape. At our office in East Islip, NY, we can give your kids the clean bill of health after they’ve seen us. If they have been complaining of toothaches or any other dental problem, it’s a great time to put their mouths under the light for our team to diagnose any problems.

Some Friendly Summer Tips To Help Keep Your Kids Mouth’s In Great Shape

There’s a lot you can do a parent to help guide them down the best dental health route possible. It’s a great time to relax and have fun, but being proactive about what should or shouldn’t be eaten is a great first step to take. Below are a few friendly tips we came up with to help keep your kids dental health in check:

• Keep a close eye on what your kids are eating and drinking. We see a lot of cavities around this time of year based on the amount of sugar intake that’s been occurring. We suggest involving more fruit into their daily eating habits as these natural sugars are better for their teeth.
• Teach good dental hygiene habits like brushing and flossing. The best way to keep your kids’ teeth healthy and clean is by maintaining good dental hygiene habits. Make sure they are brushing and flossing twice a day.
• Make them wear mouthguards during any kind of sporting activity. Knocked-out teeth are never good things. It can be traumatic for a youngster and it’s not something you’ll want to go through. Take our advice and have them wear a mouthguard — they’ll thank you later.
• Schedule a dental appointment with us. The best way to keep your kids’ health in check is by visiting us for a dental appointment. Our dental team can spot any problems immediately.
