Are you trying to find a family-friendly event that will give you the chance to recognize Memorial Day and all that it stands for? The upcoming Dallas Symphony Memorial Day Concert & Fireworks Display provides our community with a wonderful way to come together in special honor of our veterans.
We like to offer up information-packed, concise review checklists on occasion as we approach new seasons, since you likely already have a million other details on your mind. For summertime, your kids have their minds set on one thing: Having fun! While you certainly want to enjoy yourself, too, you get the added bonus of being responsible to ensure everyone remains healthy and safe (and that includes promoting smile health along the way). Let’s offer you that refresher you need, so you’re good to go once summer is in full swing!
When you go to the store alone, you can breeze through with your list, get everything you want, and leave. You don’t ever hear, “Can I have this, please?!” as your child begs for some sort of candy that is definitely not on the list for smile health. So, you may wonder to yourself, how to approach shopping when you’ve got your kiddos in tow without dealing with an hour-long battle of the wills? We can offer at least a few potentially helpful tips!
Do you and your kiddos enjoy hanging out and having fun well after the sun has set for the day? If you’re looking to find an enchanting, magical activity to experience under the moon and the stars, then The Dallas Arboretum’s Family Night Owls event is certainly worth considering!
If your kids absolutely love coming in for dental visits, then you don’t really need to worry about the car ride over. Perhaps your little ones are already accustomed to professional dental care, so heading in for a cleaning and checkup is no biggie! However, if there’s any aspect of this experience that causes your child to feel a little uneasy, we have some very helpful tips for setting the stage for a nice, easy appointment.
If you’ve been with us for a while, you know that we were the recipient of last year’s honor by D Magazine as a 2017 Best Dentist in Dallas! We would like to take just a moment to remind you that this year’s results will be announced in the August 2018 issue and we hope you will stay tuned with us to see what this year may bring! Keeping that in mind (and whatever the results), we’d like to thank all of our patients for the time they spend with us. Of course, this is also a lovely time to remind everyone, existing patients and new, about the dental services we offer.
Spring seems like it just began but before you know it, summer will be here and you’ll have all of that lovely summer vacation time to get stuff done. Just in case the list you’ve been making for “things I need to accomplish while the kids are on break from school” doesn’t include dental sealants for your children, we strongly suggest you go ahead and tack them on there! Of course, since you just might like some reasons why we think sealants are worthy of a spot on your time-off list, we’ve got them ready for you!
We often sing, “the stars at night are big and bright” here in Dallas but do you and your kiddos actually have opportunities to look up at those big beautiful sparklers as often as you’d like? If not, then you’ll be pleased to learn about the upcoming Downtown Dallas Movie Series, which gives you some serious fun time under the night sky!
You may not have had the best of experiences with your own crowns growing up or even as an adult. While we understand that this may strongly influence your feelings about restorative care in general, we encourage you to start with a clean slate, should your child require a dental crown. Before you assume your little one or teen is going to have the same experience as you, take a moment to consider the fact that we’ve taken care to provide a wonderful journey with crowns for your son or daughter.
Your own dental visits may keep a straightforward focus on your oral health needs, but pediatric dental care can require a slightly different approach. Of course, your pediatric dentist is committed to protecting the health of your child’s smile, but they also need to make sure they create an environment that feels safe and supportive. This need for a supportive environment is especially important when you bring your infant in for their first checkup. Because a new place, and new people, can be overwhelming, your pediatric dentist will strive to provide the most comfortable possible experience. As your child grows up, these early visits can make them feel more relaxed, and more at ease with trips for routine dental exams. (more…)
