Sick In The Springtime: Helpful Smile Tips

Our main concern in reflection of these details? We know you might need some help keeping your kids’ oral health safe when they feel a bit miserable. Consider some tips!
Your Kids’ Smiles: Things That Don’t Need To Embarrass You
You might find yourself feeling the pangs of embarrassment as you scoop your kiddo up for a visit to our practice. We know, of course, that from your perspective, it’s you as the parent as you guide your child through smile care and everything else! You’re not experiencing parenting as a collective group with all other parents out there. However, from our perspective at our Dallas, TX practice, we are seeing parenting as a bigger picture. We see parents and their children every single day! As a result, we like to remind you individually that though you may really not want to have to come in for a visit, it’s definitely not “just you.”
Your Dental Hygiene Checklist: A Through F!
You brush and floss every day! Your kids do, too. One of the results of this necessary part of your daily life for a healthy smile is the fact that you have to shop for the dental hygiene products everyone needs in order to complete a job well done, each and every time you follow through with your preventive efforts at home! So, though you know the products you need (toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss), you may hit a snag when it comes to the finer details. Our Dallas, TX team knows this and has an easy way to help you remember the specifics!
When Your Child Is Worried About Fillings
While you may not love learning that your child needs a dental filling, you understand the reasoning, you know that it will solve a problem, you are aware the results will look just lovely, and you have probably had one before (so you are not afraid of them). However, when your child learns it’s time for a first filling, well, things don’t always go so smoothly. If you have a child who feels worried about an upcoming visit for this simple restoration, our Dallas, TX team has some helpful advice!
