You might find that as you move through your daily life with your kiddos and you’re doing your best with oral health care and dental hygiene, some days seem like they require a lot of effort. Other days seem easier. The major upside to this amazing adventure? There are some truly delightful highlights along the way made up of little accomplishments that will really make you smile. Consider some examples that our Dallas, TX team loves sharing with you and you’ll realize: You’re doing a great job and for good reason!
You may think that there’s only brushing or a lack of brushing. If your child is brushing and is doing so twice a day as directed, then this is “good.” If your child isn’t brushing twice daily, then this is “bad.” While these statements are true, there’s more that goes into ensuring the brushing part of dental hygiene sessions is successful and beneficial, rather than damaging, problematic, or not very effective. What might your child be doing that’s too something for success? Let our Dallas, TX team explain some potential areas of deficiency or over-abundance that will help you both!

However … remember that just because things look good doesn’t mean that all is well. Give yourself some time to digest this as you learn more about what we mean.
