Keeping Up With Kids’ Dental Care: Pat Yourself On The Back
You might rarely take the time to pat yourself on the back when it comes to the job you’re doing with your kids. It’s common to feel that you’re never doing enough, to wonder if you should have done something differently, and to quite frequently feel like after all you’ve done in a day’s time, there’s still so much to accomplish! To help you enjoy a quick influx of confidence, we would like to point out three reasons you should feel very good about the fact that you’ve been keeping up with your child’s dental care.

When Your Kid Needs A Root Canal Treatment
There’s a good way and a not-so-great way to approach your child’s root canal treatment. First, you can think of it as a negative thing that you should feel bad about. Or, you can look at it as a wonderful, convenient way to rescue your child’s tooth that has become severely decayed or damaged. We, of course, encourage you to lean toward the latter. When you adopt an optimistic outlook, it makes it much easier on you and your child. Ready for some specific suggestions that can help immensely? We’ve got them!
Summer Is A Good Time For Dental Care
Is there dental care you’ve been meaning to take care of for your son or daughter’s smile but you haven’t gotten around to it yet? Perhaps you haven’t missed the mark just yet but you know you really need to get your little one’s next visit scheduled. Or, maybe we diagnosed your child with a cavity and you’ve got to schedule a dental filling very soon. Whatever the case, we encourage you to take our advice into consideration for this summer for healthy smiles all around!
Time And Frequency: Children’s Dentistry Questions
If it’s one thing that you often feel like you don’t have a whole lot of, it’s time! As a result, the passing of seconds, minutes, hours, and more is likely something that is consistently on your mind. You know just what time to pick the kids up from school, you have birthdays and appointments marked on your calendar and in your planner, and you’ve got the frequency of piano and dance lessons memorized. It’s a lot to take in! As a result, you may find yourself focused on time-related children’s dentistry questions only to realize you’re not really sure what the answers are. Not to worry! We can help.
Are You Ready For A Dental Emergency?
We know that the very last thing you ever want to think about is your child experiencing a dental emergency. However, the one thing worse than this occurrence is feeling completely unprepared to handle it should it happen to you and your child. The good news here is that getting ready ahead of time (it’s better to be safe than sorry, of course) is very simple. We offer advice that can ensure if the day arrives, you’ll know just how to proceed.
Questions About Your Child’s Dental Care
As children develop their first set of teeth, maintaining regular visits to the dentist becomes increasingly more important.

Most parents realize this, but often still have questions about their children’s dental care and what that care entails, which we’re happy to answer! (more…)
How and Why Fluoride Works
In the quest to keep your child’s smile healthy, beautiful, and free of cavities, your dentist offers a number of ways to boost your child’s hygiene efforts.

If your child is at an increased risk for cavity development, then find out if fluoride can work to reduce that risk. (more…)
