Plan A Checkup For The Family This Summer

Summer is finally here! That means the kids are out of school, your college kids are home for a few weeks, and you are likely ready to go on vacation. Before your schedule gets filled up with vacations and other fun activities, make sure you schedule a dental checkup for your whole family with the team at Wayman Family Dentistry. The summer months are a perfect time of year for your biannual checkup because you don’t have to worry about your kids missing school or rearranging schedules, and you can be in good oral health before back-to-school season. 

Your Kid’s Very First Checkup

Let’s face it: going to the dentist is usually not your favorite thing to do. However, these checkups are an essential step in maintaining excellent oral health. Whether you’ve been to the dentist before or you’re bringing your kids in for their very first time, we’re here to help make the procedure a positive experience. If your little one has grown in their first few baby teeth, now is a great time to bring them in for their very first checkup. This initial visit can help them get more comfortable with going to the dentist and protecting their oral health, which can reduce the chances of your kids developing dental-related anxiety.

Continuing Cleaning & Examinations

After the initial checkup, you need to continue biannual checkups throughout your childhood and as an adult. We know that it can be tricky planning appointments for yourself, your spouse, and all your kids. To make the process easier on you, we can offer family-style appointments, which allow you to book the appointments all at the same time. You don’t have to worry about spending hours at the dentist or making separate appointments for each member of your family. We will clean their teeth to remove plaque and carefully examine them for cavities, gum disease, and other issues during their visit.

Keep Up With Oral Health

Your oral health care does not stop at biannual checkups. In addition to seeing your dentist twice a year, you also need to take care of your teeth at home with a proper oral hygiene routine. This includes brushing and flossing twice a day, staying hydrated, and eating a well-balanced diet. These steps can help reduce the chances of cavities and other oral hygiene concerns. If you’ve been informed that you have a cavity, make a plan for your dental fillings as soon as possible to prevent the issue from worsening.
