When you take a stroll through the dental sedation options that we offer for your child’s dental care, you may find yourself a little unsure about what to think of each type. Of course, your goal is for your child to have the most enjoyable, calm visit, so future care is seen in a positive light! What to do then, when you realize IV sedation is an option? Should this be your go-to since it’s the strongest? Is is suggested for particular use? Is it safe? Answers to common questions will help you gain an introductory understanding! Feel free to contact us to learn more!
It’s easy to forget about just how far-reaching the benefits of dental care can become for your child. If you were having even the slightest doubt about the worthwhileness of the effort you’ve been putting forth for your child’s preventive care, then we encourage you to think again! Your decision to protect that developing smile is extremely important. Did you ever stop to think about the way your son or daughter’s oral health impacts proper speech development? Consider some details regarding this connection. You’ll feel reassured that trips to the dentist are certainly as advantageous as you’d imagined!
Do you have everything down to a science when it comes to your child’s smile care? How about your own? When you’re trying to run a tight ship but you discover that you sometimes drop the ball regarding all things related to smile health (and there are a lot of details to consider), it’s always easier to have some guidelines in place. Need a little help with all of that sorting out? Remember to plan, track, and schedule for a much easier daily and long-term experience.
What’s cuter than the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? A penguin, of course! If you happen to be a fan of these exceptional creatures, why not put on your winter wear, head out to the zoo, and marvel at the penguin display at the back-in-action Dallas Zoo Penguin Days?
How many questions do your children ask you every day? A lot? How many questions do they ask you about their oral health and smile care? If they aren’t usually very vocal about their smiles with you (or they become a bit shy with us during dental checkups), we advise you to encourage them to ask their questions. It’s a good habit to form, so they are always confident about caring for their teeth and gums and asking for help when they need it!
Yes, you may know that it’s exciting that your children have access to white zirconia crowns for their smiles, should they need them! However, you may not be able to put your finger on the reasons why. Of course, if you are not highly informed regarding restorations like crowns (unless you’re a dentist, this is not exactly common knowledge), then you will want to gather up the initial details that will provide you with a solid education! As a result, if your little one (or teen) ever requires a crown, you can rest easy. Zirconia is here to save the day!
Assuming you can handle it and aren’t squeamish around reptiles, you and your kids are going to have a blast at the upcoming Repticon Dallas! Prepare to check out some truly exceptional animals (and, ahem: potential pets) at the event.
If your child does not have a single sign of tooth decay then, of course, there’s no reason to start the year off with a filling. However, if you know from previous visits (or if you discover during the first checkup of the year) that your child has a cavity, then we most certainly suggest getting a dental filling scheduled as soon as possible. Let’s have a quick chat about it.
It’s an exciting time when an infant’s first tooth comes in. For most babies, teeth start to appear at about six months. A pediatric dentist might refer to this as a tooth eruption schedule, but don’t expect anything like a volcano. Tooth eruption refers to the approximate timetable of when baby teeth begin to appear (erupt) from the gums. When the first teeth appear (or by one year of age) it’s time to schedule with a pediatric dentist for your child’s first checkup. (more…)
