Spring has well and truly sprung. With Easter now behind us, the kids are in the final stretch of the school year, and all eyes are now on summer vacation. Here at Jerger Pediatric Dentistry, we know that this time of year, between Easter candy and end-of-school-year activities, can be a bit high-risk for children’s teeth and gums.
While your kids have earned the right to indulge in the fun, it’s important that good oral hygiene habits and cavity prevention not be forgotten!
Secure a Beautiful and Healthy Summer Smile for Your Kids with Dental Braces
Even when teeth are healthy, tooth alignment should always be a concern. As a result, we encourage a pre-summer checkup to ensure the health of your child’s bite.
Proper alignment is vital to the development of children’s teeth. This is because a healthy bite not only ensures that food is properly chewed and thus properly digested but also that the areas around and in between teeth are easier to clean, which makes the prevention of plaque buildup much easier. During each visit, in addition to checking for cavities and plaque buildup, we ensure the alignment of your child’s teeth and suggest corrective measures, including braces, as needed.
