The holidays bring joy, laughter, and memories, but they can also leave their mark on your smile. Whether indulging in sweet treats, neglecting your routine care, or sustaining an injury, once the festivities wind down, it’s the perfect time to give your smile the attention it deserves.
At All Smiles Orthodontics & Children’s Dentistry, we understand the importance of starting the new year with a healthy, vibrant smile. Scheduling your post-holiday dental checkup ensures that any hidden issues are caught early, setting the stage for a year of confidence and care.
The Importance of Preventive Dental Care
We recommend routine dental examinations and cleanings every six months, and right after the new year is the perfect time to visit our Corona dental office. If your child is anxious about their visit, we offer dental sedation to help them relax.
Here’s what you can expect when you bring your child in for a checkup:
- First, we’ll seat them comfortably in one of our treatment rooms.
- Next, we will examine their teeth and gums, looking for signs of tooth decay or gum disease.
- One of our hygienists will professionally clean their teeth, removing cavity-causing plaque and tartar.
- Before they leave, we’ll discuss their dental hygiene routine and give pointers on brushing and flossing.
The Benefits of Post-Holiday Checkups
The holidays can lead to increased sugar intake or injuries from winter activities, but scheduling a dental appointment at the beginning of the year has several benefits:
- Early detection — A post-holiday dental visit lets us detect and treat any dental issues before they worsen.
- Plaque removal — Regular dental checkups remove plaque and tartar a toothbrush can’t.
- Oral health maintenance — Being proactive about your child’s dental care can help them avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
