The Naughty Or Nice List: Smile Edition!
When it comes to the holidays, your children are likely already quite familiar with the idea of the naughty or nice list! The “naughty” includes the bad, not-so-good stuff (and behavior) that might mean no holiday gifts! The “nice” includes the good, wonderful stuff (and behavior) that means holiday presents will likely appear during this festive season! Why not rely on this fun, seasonal model for a little fun with smile care education, as you talk with your kiddos about brushing, flossing, or other topics? Ready for a visit, have questions, or need some additional support? Just get in touch with our Dallas, TX pediatric dental care practice with a phone call!

Don’t Forget About Less Obvious Dental Floss Details!
You likely already know the obvious details associated with dental floss and your child’s smile care habits at home (yours, too, of course).

You know to be thorough and gentle, as well. However, our Dallas, TX team recognizes that there are some less obvious particulars you may have forgotten about that can make (or break) your experience. Make it a wonderful one by considering some questions, so in your home, happy, clean smiles abound!
