Is Your Children’s Smile Ready For The Holidays?



While Thanksgiving is over, Christmas and the New Year are right around the corner. You may already be planning for that holiday photo, but is your child’s smile ready? They may have decay, cavities, cracked or broken teeth. Now is the time to schedule their dental appointment and get a plan in place to help their smile.

Dental decay and cavities impact millions of children every year. Foods that are high in sugar, irregular dental visits and lack of brushing and flossing routines can all impact your child’s smile. Waiting to fix these issues can cause serious problems, along with dental pain. Once the problem crosses from a cavity to a more serious problem, it can cost twice as much to fix the problem.

A healthy smile can make sure the family photo is amazing and help to increase your children’s self-confidence. Research shows that people are negatively impacted by an unhealthy smile. While adults may experience a problem being hired or are passed over for a promotion they really want, children may struggle to communicate with friends because they do not want them to see their smile.  Not only that, it can eventually impact their overall school work as they attempt to avoid reading, talking to peers during group discussions, and asking their teacher for help if they need it.

We live in a predominately social world and this means looking and feeling our best. Children are no different. The dental habits you have in place for your children now will stick with them for a lifetime.
