It just seems like this year is blowing by us, right? Well, we are almost to the start of a new school year, and if your child has not been in for a visit in 2026, a back-to-school checkup’s a great idea. Most kids need to see their dentist twice each year for cleanings and examinations, so this is an opportunity to catch up. These visits really do work to fight back against tooth decay and periodontal disease, so don’t put them off any longer.
At Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, Dr. Justin Coon, DDS and Dr. Cody Coon, DDS keep people safer through effective oral health treatment. Our office helps people of all shapes and sizes to maintain healthy smiles by removing bacterial accumulation, education, and a visual examination from a trusted provider right here at the feet of the Bighorn Mountains. We’ve been here for generations, and we’d be proud to add your family to our long list of Eastern Wyoming smiles that we’ve helped. Let’s keep the whole team safe from periodontal disease, tooth decay, and more.
A checkup before school starts gives them a solid foundation. Call our front desk at Grinnell Street Dental to schedule a back-to-school visit.
