Did My Child Really Brush? Or Not?
Letting your child brush on his or her own is a big deal!

The good news is that when you find yourself wondering for any number of reasons whether your child really brushed (and did a good job), our Dallas, TX team can help you figure out just how to respond!

Back To Basics: Teenage Smile Care
If you have spent any time at all feeling challenged, overwhelmed, or frazzled in regard to your teenager’s smile care, we remind you: This is very normal!

Your kiddos have lots of ideas about everything, including dental care. You have lots of worries about their oral health! The result?
