It’s almost that time of year again, and what better way to kick off the new school year than getting the kid’s dental appointments out of the way. Checking the appointment off your checklist before the school year starts will make life a lot easier in the long run. Once classes, homework, after-school activities and holidays start piling up on the calendar, it can be tough to find the time. Regular dental visits are essential for the maintenance of healthy teeth and gums. Schedule your back to school appointment today with Allen Dental.
Why Get in Before the School Year Starts?
During your appointment, we evaluate the health of your gums, examine your mouth for any indications of infection of diseases, diabetes or vitamin deficiencies, check for any signs of tooth decay or cavities and perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth. At the end of the check-up it may be suggested to use fluoride treatments to prevent decay. According to Colgate, 19% of children have untreated tooth decay. Cavities can be excruciatingly painful and they also make the act of speaking, eating, and playing difficult or even impossible without treatment. Get in for a check-up before the school year starts for your peace of mind and a healthy mouth for your child.
