It’s that time of the year again. We are at the start of a new school year, and whether your child is heading to first grade or they’re off to college, a checkup’s a great idea. This way, they can start the semester with a smile that’s cleaner and safer. Since they’re supposed to have two of these appointments per year, it also helps you stick to the schedule.
If they are due for a checkup, reach out to Dr. Justin Coon, DDS and Dr. Cody Coon, DDS at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY. Our office works with patients of all shapes and sizes, helping improve oral health in our community. A big part of those efforts is keeping to the timeline of checkups given to you by your dentist. Consistent prevention brings real results, and bacteria are always trying to pose problems. So, when they start a new semester, see about scheduling their next checkup.
Starting the school year is exciting! Keep the energy going with a biannual checkup at Grinnell Street Dental.
Patients Of All Ages Need Checkups
As soon as people have teeth, they need to take care of them. You see, bacteria don’t particularly care about your age, your work schedule, or much of anything. If they can find a home inside your mouth that’s safe, comfortable, and keeps them fed, they will be there. That’s a real oral health issue, though, because bacteria cause tooth decay, periodontal disease, and more.
A biannual dental checkup is a source of defense here. Your home hygiene routine of brushing and flossing is incredibly important, so make sure to keep up with it. But even with all of that effort, you could fall behind if you skip your preventive care. We’re here for cleanings and examinations, keeping your family on a consistent oral health path.
Have Them Bring Their Questions With Them
When they come in for their next biannual dental checkup, they’re not just in for the cleaning. While that’s definitely a crucial part, your child’s checkups also include a visual examination and any necessary imagery. During this time, their qualified, caring dentist can take a look to see if they need some help. That could mean discussing a dental filling, tips on brushing, or something else.
It’s also a great time to ask questions. Have your child write down anything that they would like to know about their smile, and we’ll do our best to help. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of their oral health education.
