As a parent, it can be tough to find the time to do everything you need to do. But when it comes to their healthcare appointments, it’s vital to stick to their schedule, and their oral health is no exception. Young smiles experience some of the same risks as adult ones, including tooth decay, periodontal disease, and more, so they are supposed to come in for a checkup twice each year. Well, if you haven’t had one yet in 2025, then they are starting to fall behind.

With our friendly, neighborhood team at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, you can keep up with the whole family’s oral health. We know that it can be a struggle to get your little one to be excited about a trip to the dentist, and that may hold true for each family member. That’s why some parents are seeing success by scheduling their entire team together, showing children how it’s done and saving a bit of time and effort in the process.

Having a hard time keeping everyone on the same dental schedule? Call Grinnell Street Dental to set up a time to care for each of you.

Developing Smiles Need A Close Eye From A Qualified Provider

While they are growing, their smile is, too. There is a lot going on within a young mouth, and unfortunately, it takes a while before they are able to handle brushing and flossing by themselves. So, as they are learning their oral health maintenance, you need to be there for them.

Part of those efforts is coming in for a cleaning and examination once every six months. This timeline allows them to have the chance to grow, while also keeping them close enough to their provider to spot any issues early. Also, they have the opportunity to be free of plaque and tartar buildup that can cause problems.

Your Checkups Are Valuable, Too. Don’t Skip Them!

Children are not the only ones who need consistent care. Bacteria are always trying to make your mouth their home, as well, and that can lead to tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other concerns. Thankfully, parent preventive timelines can often match up with their children’s.

If your whole family is due for some dentistry, let’s talk about scheduling them all in the same day. This can help you to show your little ones that the dentist is not a place to fear, but an opportunity to improve our oral health.
