3 Ways To Cope When Your Child Gets A Cavity
In most instances, we spend time talking with you about how to help manage your child’s oral health. We love discussing prevention, how to guide your child toward healthy smile care habits, and are more than pleased to discuss what you should do in the case that your child ends up with an issue like tooth decay, so we can quickly resolve the issue. Today, however, our Dallas, TX pediatric dental care team would like to turn our attention away from your kiddo for just a bit and shine a spotlight on you! We know that when your child develops a cavity, it can feel very overwhelming for you. Unfortunately, if you’re upset, your child may pick up on this, which can lead to your child feeling anxious about smile care like dental fillings, rather than relaxed. Let us offer some helpful ways for you to cope, so you can get back on track with feeling A-OK about your son or daughter’s grin!
Xylitol: So Many Times When You Can Enjoy It!
What’s xylitol, you ask? Why, allow our Dallas, TX pediatric practice offer you some very interesting facts: It’s a sweetener that’s all natural. It also happens to be good, not bad, for your oral health (which means, when your kids consume it, you don’t have to feel frantic like you do with other sources of sweetness, such as sugar, which promotes decay). While you may have heard of it and know that it’s something you can access, you might not really know what types of products it’s used in, when it’s a good idea, and where to get it. We can help!
Back To School Backpack Drive 2018
Yes, you read that correctly: It’s just about time for your kids to get back to the classroom for the 2018-2019 school year. Can you believe it? Of course, in addition to getting your children’s smiles all ready for a lovely new grade and experience, it also means lots and lots of supplies that your kiddos need, so they can soak up new knowledge! To make sure the children in our community have what they need, we have teamed up with Alex Sanger Elementary School for the Back To School Backpack Drive! As we send our best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful year back in the classroom, we also remind you that if you are so inclined, donations for the upcoming drive are appreciated. Allow our Dallas, TX practice to offer you additional details, should you like to participate!
Sugary Cereal: How To Deal With This One!
Of course, you want your kids’ smiles to look healthy and to actually be healthy. You don’t want your kiddos to go through any of the sensations that can come with dental cavities either, if you can help it. So, what to do when your kids are absolutely mad about enjoying a certain sugary cereal in the morning but you just can’t stand for letting them coat their teeth in sugars first thing in the day? Fortunately, there are ways to help you feel better, to protect your kids’ teeth from tooth decay, and even to assist you in finding ways to make morning a little healthier. Our Dallas, TX practice offers some simple yet helpful ideas!
