Smile Protection: Things You Shouldn’t Encourage

Posted

Of course, there are the obvious things you should absolutely encourage in terms of your child’s smile health!

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!

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!
