Kids count down the days until summer break when they get to enjoy sleeping in, going to the pool, and playing with friends. Parents, however, may have a different motive for summer break. Whether it’s chores, a summer job, or going to camp, parents are always looking for ways for their child to stay active.
Keep in mind one important thing about the warm months of the year: summer is a great time to make an appointment with your pediatric dentist.
Popsicles, ice cream, and s’mores are favorite treats among kids during the summer break. However, these sugary treats can wreak havoc on your child’s teeth. Whether they’re eating a sweet treat or drink, the excess sugar can create or worsen cavities while also harming tooth enamel. Taking care of your child’s pediatric dental care at the beginning of the summer allows you to be proactive with their dental needs. Getting a cleaning at the start of summer break can act as a protectant to your child’s teeth.
Scheduling an appointment with a kids dentist isn’t always easy during the school year. Either the pediatric dentist is booked after school hours or you don’t feel comfortable taking them out of school for an appointment. It’s always a tough decision about when to visit the family dentist for appointments.
Summer allows for more flexibility in your child’s schedule to focus on their pediatric dental care needs. No missed school plus clean teeth equals happy parents! Summer is truly the best time to focus on dental health for both you and your child.
While proactive dental care is vital, sometimes that isn’t enough and your child needs more extensive procedures that require recovery time. Summer allows ample recovery time without needing to focus on how many days of school they are missing and what homework assignments they must keep up with. Summer months allow a pediatric dentist to complete the work needed and your child the time to actually recover without any added stress of missing school.
The back-to-school rush is never fun. As a parent, you already have to help your child buy school supplies, new clothes, and figure out their new school schedule. Don’t add another thing to your plate by having to visit a kids dentist right before school is in session and get caught in the chaos! By scheduling your child’s pediatric dental care at the beginning of summer, you’ll be able to check an important item off the to-do list while missing the back-to-school rush.
Dental care should never wait. It’s important to visit the dentist once every six months for a check-up. If you’re looking for a pediatric dentist in Yardley, we’d love to tend to your child’s dental needs.
