When Your Child Needs Care: 2 Time Wasters To Avoid
We know that as a parent, you try to do what you can to fit everything that needs to get done into one day. As a result, you may find that you are often quite good at identifying “time savers” that help you squeeze a few extra minutes out of each day, so you can really prioritize! While this may work in many aspects of your daily life, you may not realize that it is not always something that you can successfully apply to your child’s oral health care. Unfortunately, you may accidentally waste time, even though you had the absolute best of intentions! Let our Dallas, TX team fill you in on some things to avoid, so you can keep your daily schedule on track!
Try Out Plaque HD For Even Cleaner Teeth!
You make sure your kids brush every day, twice a day, and you might even be really serious about timing those sessions. Of course, you make sure your kids floss, as well. While you cannot tell for sure, you assume this is removing most of the plaque from your little ones’ smiles, so you try to hope for the best and figure your family’s efforts will pay off. However, there may be an itty bitty voice in your brain asking: “But how do you really know that huge areas of plaque aren’t being missed?” or, “Do you think you watched closely enough?” What if your child is quite heavy handed one one side of his or her mouth but isn’t brushing so well on the other? Good news: Our Dallas, TX team introduces you to a special product called Plaque HD that can help with everything! Learn more.
Your Child’s Smile: Take Just A Moment To Feel Grateful!
It’s not always easy keeping up with every last detail that your child needs, not to mention adding on considering your little one’s wants! So, when the day is through, your brain may tend to focus primarily on things that need fixing, concerns, your to-do list, and that can make just about anything (including your child’s dental care) start to feel laborious and a bit lacking in joy. To help combat the potential for smile care to start feeling this way, our Dallas, TX team would love to offer you a quick jolt of joy infusion, so you can remember that all of that hard work is certainly paying off. Keep up the good work!
Laughing Gas: A Few Things You May Like To Know
Learning about the dental sedation options you may select for your child’s dental care is something that can cause mixed emotions for you. Of course, it’s a relief to know that you can help your child feel nice and cozy and calm during treatments. On the other hand, there are so many types of sedation and you want to make a wise selection. So, when we suggest laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide, you will instantly want to know more. What sets it apart? Our Dallas, TX pediatric dental team is happy to elaborate! Have more questions? Let us know.

Helping You Recognize What We’re Checking Up On During Checkups
Part of you may shrug your shoulders and think, “Okay, I guess we’ll go in for a dental checkup but I’m not really sure why it’s time for another one!” We understand. You’re busy. Your child’s smile looks fine. Nobody is complaining. So, why do you have to come in for a children’s dental exam when it seems like all is perfectly okay? Well, our Dallas, TX team wants you to remember that checkups aren’t all about finding problems. They’re really about preventing them (and doing something about any concerns that have just begun).
