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…)
It’s very easy to assume that if your child’s breath isn’t friendly and approachable, your little one (or teen) may not be brushing and flossing. This is absolutely a possibility! However, it’s not the only possible reason for unpleasant breath. So, what to do about bad breath when it ends up on the scene? Try a few things out to see if you can identify the culprit. If not, it may be time for a quick visit!
You may love knowing that you have found a pediatric dental practice that promises complete care for little ones (and your teens, too). However, that doesn’t mean you can quickly rattle off the different ways we are here for your children when they need dental care. As a result, you may even overlook some services we provide, which can be to you and your children’s benefit! Let’s cover the main points that you should keep in mind, so you’re quick to call us up no matter what type of care your child needs for his or her smile!
There’s just something magical about the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings, not to mention watching the transformation that takes place from caterpillar to flying beauty!
