Is your little one starting to get bored now that they’re out of school? It’s funny how quickly they can go from excitement to utter boredom in a matter of weeks. Well, before you head off on your out-of-town vacation or landscape redesign project, start their summer with a visit to their dentist for a checkup. Kids need these appointments twice each year to help them avoid common dental issues like tooth decay and periodontal disease, and it’s almost the midway point of the year; keep them on schedule.
At Greenview Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in Rochester, MN, we understand that your child is the most important thing in the world for your family. That’s why we work so hard to help little ones grow into happy and healthy adult smiles, and we’re excited to meet you. Keeping up with their preventive oral health needs takes some dedication, so if you’ve let this one slip a little bit, take advantage of the time of the year and get them back in the dental chair.

Young Smiles Need Periodic Check-Ins With A Quality Provider
In order to stay safe from common dental problems like tooth decay and periodontal disease, your little one has to see their dentist. We know that it might seem trivial, as they are going to lose their first set of teeth anyway, but there are real advantages to sticking to your schedule. They learn their dental habits at an early age, meaning that their first visits have staying power.
And while you wait to schedule their next checkup, bacterial buildup could continue to grow between their teeth, along their gumline, and more. Plaque and tartar lead to tooth decay, periodontal disease, and more, so it’s important to keep your child’s smile clean through brushing and flossing. Their biannual checkups include a thorough cleaning, helping them to be free of plaque and tartar.
They Need Your Help to Learn Their Skills
As they are growing, they should stick to their schedule of checkups. For most little ones, that means coming in twice each year for a cleaning and examination, which is generally the same recommendation that an adult receives. Their visits are also a great time to talk about their oral health-related questions, and we know they have them. Tell them to ask us everything they want to know!
