You need to see the dentist, and you are not the only one in the family who does. Just like you do, your little one requires a dedication to their oral health maintenance, and that means keeping them on the right track when it comes to their checkups. And since their timeline of twice-annual visits can mirror yours, it offers an opportunity for the whole family.
With Dr. Chris Richards, D.D.S., at our helpful dental office in Richardson, TX, your team can keep the focus on your family’s oral health through consistent checkups from a quality provider. We understand the importance of your routine dental checkups, and we also know that children’s smiles develop quickly. They form their habits at an early age, and plaque and tartar can pile up fast, so make sure that they see their dentist for cleaning and exams on the right timeline.
Care for everyone’s needs. Schedule a time for your entire family’s oral health maintenance with Dr. Richards!
How Long Has It Been Since Their Last Checkup?
If you are struggling trying to remember the date of your child’s last dental appointment, then it’s probably time for their next one. For most kids, the goal is to come in twice a year for a dedicated cleaning and an examination, helping them to stay on top of their oral health needs in a consistent way. And when you skip them, they can start to experience some of the same oral health issues that you do, like tooth decay and gingivitis, so it is important to keep them on a positive preventive timeline.
At their appointment, make sure that they ask all of their oral-health-related questions. We appreciate the chance to be a real part of their smile success story, and that starts with learning their needs. From tips on brushing and flossing to the name of that thing hanging down in the back of their throat, we have answers.
You Need To Keep Up With Your Smile, Too
While it’s certainly important to keep up with your child’s oral health, the whole family needs to care for themselves. Luckily, kids’ schedules often line up with their parents’, and that can bring some decided advantages. You have the opportunity to be a real role model for your child. If both you and your little one are due for a checkup, see about coming in together so you can show them how it’s done.
