3 Things To Try To Avoid (So You Enjoy Visits)
It’s possible that your child has absolutely no qualms whatsoever about coming in for a dental checkup with us, which is absolutely wonderful! However, we often notice that it’s sometimes Mom or Dad who isn’t having a very relaxing experience. We know that bringing your child in for pediatric dental care at our Dallas, TX practice can be something that puts you a bit on edge. You want your child to feel good all the time but if you have had not-so-lovely personal experiences with dentistry, this can make visits a little rough on you! Let us help you feel better, so the whole family shows up and leaves smiling.
It’s Official: D Magazine 2018 Best Dentist In Dallas!
If you keep up with us, you may remember that we mentioned back in May 2018 that we were in the running for this year’s honor as a D Magazine Best Dentist in Dallas for 2018. We are so thrilled to announce that we have been selected! For those of you with subscriptions, you can see our name listed in the August 2018 issue! We are very excited and, as always, would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your decision to entrust our Dallas, TX pediatric dental care practice with your children’s beautiful smiles! (With that said: Don’t forget, it just might be time to schedule your child’s next visit or first visit with us!).
Using A Life-Like Filling To Restore Your Child’s Tooth
How should you respond if your child suffers a cavity? This can be a real concern – tooth decay can cause real problems, even if the tooth in question is a baby tooth that will come out on its own. Cavities can be painful, and if they go untreated, complications with your child’s dental health can arise. You can count on your Dallas, TX pediatric dentist to provide cavity care that stops the threat posed by decay. Because our practice understands how important it is to help kids feel safe and secure in the dentist’s chair, we take care to make every visit as comfortable as possible. When a cavity is detected in time, it can be treated with a dental filling that blends in naturally with the surrounding tooth structure. (more…)
Making Sure Your Child Has A Great First Visit Experience
Every patient should be able to enjoy a dental treatment experience where they feel safe and secure, in addition to feeling great about their oral health care. A person’s overall comfort at the dentist’s office can be shaped by their earliest appointments, which is why these initial meetings are so important. At your Dallas, TX pediatric dentist’s office, children can be welcomed for care once their first tooth arrives for an introductory visit. In addition to checking on that tooth’s development, your dentist will take the time to introduce your child to the equipment in the office, and make certain they have a chance to grow comfortable in these new surroundings. By creating the right first impression, kids can be more comfortable, and more relaxed, at subsequent checkups. (more…)
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…)
