Questions To Ask Yourself For 2020!
With the passing of each year, especially when you’ve got growing kiddos, it’s quite shocking to realize just how quickly the time has gone by! When you apply this way of thinking to your family’s oral health and, more specifically to the dental care you’re providing your children (with the help of our Dallas, TX pediatric dental care team), you likely find yourself in a state of reflection. So, to help you along as you strive to feel wonderful about those growing smiles, we offer up some simple and beneficial questions to ask yourself as you look forward to 2020!
Here Comes Halloween! Is It Only About Sugar?
Halloween! It’s headed this way and you can practically taste the sugary sweetness already! Maybe you love the overload of treats that this day brings. Maybe it causes you some stress! We know that your kids’ oral health is extremely important to you, so figuring out how to mix fun with some truly effective smile protection feels a little confusing. Our Dallas, TX team absolutely knows how you’re feeling (all of the other parents out there are going through the same thing!). So, why not take a new look at this fun holiday, as you enjoy the goodies but remember that there’s more to Halloween than candy.
Keeping Parents Smiling Throughout Fall!
More information about fall, you ask yourself? How could one season elicit so much information? Well, when you look at temps that are ready to dip after a long, hot summer in Dallas, TX, there’s a lot to consider. This is particularly true as our real fall often begins later than the very first day in terms of chilliness, which means once it really feels like autumn: The end of the year is even closer than you may realize! So, without further ado, let’s talk about some things that will definitely help keep you smiling, as you keep your kiddos’ oral health and general well being nice and safe!
Plan Out Your Halloween Night: It’s So Worth It!
Yes, we know that before you had kids, you could just roll with Halloween night, as you took everything moment by moment! Head to a party? Leave for another? Stay out until 1am? No problem. However, you probably know very well by now that as a parent, a footloose and fancy free approach to things (particularly those that can interfere with usual sleep schedules and that include tons of sugar) aren’t always going to give you the relaxing results and happy faces you’re looking to achieve. So, our Dallas, TX team offers you some suggestions for planning your upcoming holiday that will ensure the easy oral health protection that’s been weighing on your mind!
3 Important Details About Digital X-Rays!
You know, after you’ve done even a tiny bit of investigative work, that when your child receives a preventive dental visit with us (including a dental checkup and dental cleaning), one aspect of care will include digital X-rays. This is just like what Mom and Dad receive during their smile care. With that said, however, you may not have ever given much thought to dental imaging in the past but now your child needs it and you have some questions for our Dallas, TX team! Of course, we welcome your inquiries and look forward to helping you feel confident about this and all aspects of dental care.
I Can’t Stop Worrying About My Child’s Smile!
It’s completely understandable. You’ve watched your child grow and develop and you’ve been monitoring those lovely teeth since the very first one arrived! If you tend to be someone who is prone to worry, then worrying about your child’s smile is not out of the ordinary. However, it’s probably exhausting and you are likely well aware that the stress is not doing you any good. What you want is to feel you’re protecting your child’s oral health but while you get to do so with a relaxed, confident, if not enjoyable approach! Is there anything you can do, you wonder? Of course, our Dallas, TX team works with parents every day and we have some simple but very effective suggestions that should help.
Smile Protection: Things You Shouldn’t Encourage
Of course, there are the obvious things you should absolutely encourage in terms of your child’s smile health! Keeping a scheduled routine for dental hygiene is wonderful, encouraging kids to participate in selecting dental care products for themselves is a good thing, and promoting the decision to eat good-for-your-teeth snacks and meals is smart! With that said, there may be some little issues that can prove dangerous for your child’s oral health that are actually fairly easy to overlook! Our Dallas, TX team is here to make sure you know just what they are, so you can continue on with your solid approach to smile protection!
Gum Changes And Why You Should Never Ignore Them
Seeing a quick flash of your child’s smile and recognizing that something has changed with your kiddo’s gums can be a bit shocking. It can also leave you feeling unsure about how to proceed. Should you just monitor the situation, continuing with daily dental care, as you see whether things get better or stay the same (or worsen)? Or, is this one of those moments when you should call our Dallas, TX team to set up a dental checkup just to be on the safe side? Of course, we suggest the latter. Remember that any shift in the appearance of your child’s gums could mean a gum health issue and is always worth investigating. Come in for care soon!
