Kids/Students Home For The Summer? Make Your Cleaning Appointments Early Before We're Booked Up!

With kids and young adults home for summer it’s a great time of the year to travel, relax, and enjoy quality time together. It’s always nice to not have a fully packed schedule that accompanies the school year.

Now is also a perfect time to get caught up on things that are more of a hassle when school is in session. Most people tend to put off teeth cleanings until August and we get completely booked up. Scheduling your cleaning before then allows you to get it out of the way before your schedule gets full and to get in before our schedule gets full.

Requesting an appointment is easy and can be done online!

Have Your Kids Been Practicing Good Oral Hygiene?

With summer vacation in full swing, it’s easy for your normal routine to break down. It’s important for everyone to maintain a solid cleaning regimen in between visits to our office. Not only will they have a bright and shining smile, but they’ll be healthier too.

We’ve written up a brief guide to brushing and flossing that should answer most questions or concerns regarding a daily routine. As always, we are happy to answer any other questions you might have as well.

Young People Neglecting To Floss

The biggest issue we see, especially with kids/young adults, is neglecting to floss. We get it. Most people do not enjoy flossing. However, there are several good reasons to do it anyway, including:

• Flossing prevents tooth decay
• Flossing prevents periodontal disease
• Flossing prevents halitosis (bad breath)
• Flossing even prevents stains from becoming permanent

Don’t wait until the day before your visit to start flossing. (We can tell.) Start building the habit of doing it today, even if you can only get yourself or your kids to do it once a day. That’s significantly better than not flossing at all.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and we at North Coast Family Dentistry are looking forward to seeing your family soon!
