Smile Changes And Care: Now What?
As long as your children’s smiles remain the same, you can rely on the fact that you know how to provide dental care for them. You know what they should be doing in front of their bathroom sinks, so you can watch them, clean your teeth with them, or simply check in on their habits to make sure things are on track. Then, there’s professional care: It’s all about the two visits every year goal, which is something you can also handle. Now, throw a seemingly big change into the mix and you might not feel like you know what to do anymore! Our suggestion, of course, is to let us know you need a little help. We’re here for you!
Your Dental Visits: Tips For The Car Ride Over
If your kids absolutely love coming in for dental visits, then you don’t really need to worry about the car ride over. Perhaps your little ones are already accustomed to professional dental care, so heading in for a cleaning and checkup is no biggie! However, if there’s any aspect of this experience that causes your child to feel a little uneasy, we have some very helpful tips for setting the stage for a nice, easy appointment.
D Magazine Best Dentist 2018: Stay Tuned!
If you’ve been with us for a while, you know that we were the recipient of last year’s honor by D Magazine as a 2017 Best Dentist in Dallas! We would like to take just a moment to remind you that this year’s results will be announced in the August 2018 issue and we hope you will stay tuned with us to see what this year may bring! Keeping that in mind (and whatever the results), we’d like to thank all of our patients for the time they spend with us. Of course, this is also a lovely time to remind everyone, existing patients and new, about the dental services we offer.
Making Your Infant Feel Safe And Secure At Their First Visit
Your own dental visits may keep a straightforward focus on your oral health needs, but pediatric dental care can require a slightly different approach. Of course, your pediatric dentist is committed to protecting the health of your child’s smile, but they also need to make sure they create an environment that feels safe and supportive. This need for a supportive environment is especially important when you bring your infant in for their first checkup. Because a new place, and new people, can be overwhelming, your pediatric dentist will strive to provide the most comfortable possible experience. As your child grows up, these early visits can make them feel more relaxed, and more at ease with trips for routine dental exams. (more…)
We’re Here For Your Kids When…
You may love knowing that you have found a pediatric dental practice that promises complete care for little ones (and your teens, too). However, that doesn’t mean you can quickly rattle off the different ways we are here for your children when they need dental care. As a result, you may even overlook some services we provide, which can be to you and your children’s benefit! Let’s cover the main points that you should keep in mind, so you’re quick to call us up no matter what type of care your child needs for his or her smile!
Nitrous Oxide: Is It The Same As Laughing Gas?
Particularly for parents who have not received dental sedation in their own lives, this aspect of dental care may feel like brand new territory. We understand that you probably have a lot of questions for us and would like to really know the ins and outs of your child’s options when we’re discussing anesthesia. Not to worry! We’d be delighted to walk you through sedation, talk about what you can expect, and more. For now, let’s get started by offering some highlights in regard to the gentlest form, known as nitrous oxide.
Who Do We Like To See At Our Practice?
When you find yourself considering seeing our pediatric dental care team for your child’s cleanings, checkups, and more, you may wonder who we take on as new patients. Should you call to set up a visit, you wonder? Are we going to welcome your little one or do we have some type of stipulations? The truth is, we look forward to meeting each and every one of the new patients who is seeking smile care! Allow us to extend additional details, so you feel much more comfortable taking us up on our invitation to come on in!
Don’t Worry: Tooth Extractions Are For Healthy Teeth, Too!
You may feel uneasy learning that your child needs a tooth extraction. Just the term alone may cause you to immediately assume something is wrong, since the removal of a tooth is sometimes associated with a very unhealthy tooth. While this type of removal certainly has its place, there are other common reasons for extractions that we provide for healthy teeth! So, before you begin feeling worried or upset, we recommend opening yourself up to some new knowledge that will likely put a smile on your face!
Sedation: How To Make Decisions?
As an adult, you understand that dental sedation can make dental care much more relaxing on many levels. It may offer help with dental anxiety. It may physically make treatments more comfortable. It may help patients feel more optimistic about smile care. The list goes on and on, of course. When you are the one receiving sedation, you know how to weigh the pros and cons to make decisions. However, when the sedation is for your child, you may not feel quite as equipped to make a final decision. Not to worry: That’s one of the reasons we are here!
Children’s Smile Care: Things That Can Help You Sleep At Night
It’s not just children’s smile care that you’ve got on your mind as you crawl into bed at night.

While it might only offer you a bit of relief, we have some oral health related suggestions that can help you get to the end of that list (and get to sleep) a little faster.
