Your whole family needs to pay attention to their oral health, and when they’re still learning, it’s up to you to make sure that they follow the rules. Kids learn their dental habits at an early age, and when they stick close to their dentist, it gives them the chance to develop a positive oral health routine. And just like you do, they need to see their provider at least twice a year for a cleaning and an examination.
At My Dentist in Londonderry, NH, we appreciate the opportunity to be a part of their blossoming smile story. From the eruption of their first tooth through to the development of their wisdom teeth and into adulthood, keeping them on schedule is a vital part of being a parent. So, when it’s time for their next dental checkup, give us a call.
Your little one needs quality dental care. Make your child’s next checkup a My Dentist checkup.
Children Learn Their Oral Health Habits Early
If you take one thing from reading this article let it be this: your little one is learning how to care for their teeth right now. That means that every time you decide to skip brushing and flossing for the day, they internalize that. And when they become older, it can be tough to break poor oral hygiene habits, especially when they are learned at an early age.
So, it’s up to you to stick to a healthy schedule; a healthy schedule of brushing and flossing, as well as a proper timeline of checkups. If they have been longer than six months since their last visit, it’s time for a cleaning and an examination.
Use This Opportunity To Be A Role Model
Since your child may follow the same timeline of biannual checkups as you do, it provides a chance to show them how it’s done. They look to you for guidance on just about everything, and when you show the that the dentist is not a place to fear, they can feel it. So, when it’s time for their next checkup, think about scheduling yours right alongside them.
While you’re in the office, too, have your little one ask their oral health-related questions. You might have some too, and we’re always happy to help our patients learn more about their smiles. We are here to help you reach a stronger smile, and that means making sure that you and your family have the tools to get it done.
