Are you well aware that you’ve got some gift shopping to do but you sometimes feel guilty dragging your little ones out with you? Perhaps you will get some purchases made and entertain the kiddos with the upcoming Scrooge Puppet Theatre at NorthPark Center!
The holidays can cause you to realize you have some things you need to get done as a parent. As much as it would be nice to simply avert your gaze, hope for the best, and assume a magical fairy will somehow just get it all done for you, the reality of the situation is: You have plans to make, lists to compile, loose ends to tie up, and you also have kiddos whose smiles depend on you. While we know all of the other things coming at you during the holidays require a lot of time and focus, our Dallas, TX team knows something else: If you include dental care on your list of priorities, you’ll be setting your children (and yourself) up for a much happier season! Learn more.
Of course, you have heard about ways to satisfy you child’s sweet tooth (and your own) without causing any damage. However, you may not know about how to indulge in a sweet treat and do so while actually preventing tooth decay just yet! Sound too good to be true? We are happy to report that a lollipop (or lozenge) treat called Loloz can actually do just that. Hoping for a little more information because you’re not exactly convinced at the moment? No problem. Our Dallas, TX team has some introductory answers to your questions (and will be more than happy to discuss this treat more during your child’s next dental visit).
Do you love heading out to art festivals with your family, where you and your kiddos get to soak up the exceptional artwork crafted by the community, everyone gets to indulge in some not-always-so-healthy but delicious food, and it’s a lovely day spent outdoors? Don’t miss out on the upcoming Turtle Creek Fine Arts Festival that’s featuring over 100 artists and more!
Is there any time of year when your kids aren’t feeling super interested in sweets? Not really. However, it is fair to say that as the colder weather and holidays begin to approach, we are faced with what feels like an enormous onslaught of all-things-sugary-all-the-time. What makes this the case, you ask yourself in reflection? Well, candy and pastries are feel-good treats and end up at the center of the holidays. They are snacks shared in the classroom, frequent gifts, part of holiday meals, time-honored traditions (Halloween, for instance), and there seems to be no end in sight. So, how to manage from now through Valentine’s Day, as you continue considering smile protection, without totally taking sweet treats away from the kiddos? Our Dallas, TX team has a very simple answer: Add xylitol into the mix!
Are you well aware that just about everything that you’ve ever used that might be referred to as an “appliance” is becoming much more advanced, Bluetooth capable, and offers features you never even conceived of? Just like you may be able to lock your car doors with your phone from work or turn on the washing machine from another room, the same exciting forward movement in technology applies to oral health care! While this is certainly good news for everyone, it is some truly powerful information for parents and their kids. If you’ve been wondering about what’s available for your children’s dental hygiene these days, our Dallas, TX team strongly suggests you learn more about the Sonicare For Kids Toothbrush.
You make sure your kids brush every day, twice a day, and you might even be really serious about timing those sessions. Of course, you make sure your kids floss, as well. While you cannot tell for sure, you assume this is removing most of the plaque from your little ones’ smiles, so you try to hope for the best and figure your family’s efforts will pay off. However, there may be an itty bitty voice in your brain asking: “But how do you really know that huge areas of plaque aren’t being missed?” or, “Do you think you watched closely enough?” What if your child is quite heavy handed one one side of his or her mouth but isn’t brushing so well on the other? Good news: Our Dallas, TX team introduces you to a special product called Plaque HD that can help with everything! Learn more.
Are you recognizing that with our cooler temps we have been enjoying, you’re also starting to notice serious dryness within your family? Perhaps you’ve been complaining about dry hands, while you notice your kiddo’s lips are on the verge of cracking. What’s going on, what you should you be doing differently, and should you see us for a dental checkup? Our Dallas, TX team is happy to report that there are usually some sneaky reasons this is going on and it’s usually stuff you can address on your own. As for whether you need to see our team for oral health help? If you feel you need reinforcement, then of course! To get started, however, consider easy tips.
It’s not always easy keeping up with every last detail that your child needs, not to mention adding on considering your little one’s wants! So, when the day is through, your brain may tend to focus primarily on things that need fixing, concerns, your to-do list, and that can make just about anything (including your child’s dental care) start to feel laborious and a bit lacking in joy. To help combat the potential for smile care to start feeling this way, our Dallas, TX team would love to offer you a quick jolt of joy infusion, so you can remember that all of that hard work is certainly paying off. Keep up the good work!
There are just so many different ways to celebrate Halloween and so many venues that offer something special in Dallas, TX. Of course, if you and your kiddos are animal enthusiasts, then one celebration you will absolutely want to attend is the upcoming Halloweekend At The Dallas Zoo 2018! It’s everything you would hope for (and probably a lot more).
