It’s one of the most exciting times out there for parents and recent high school graduates. That’s right, it’s time for them to move into the dorms for their first year of college. While most are focused on packing and getting ready for class, there is an oral health opportunity here, as well. Before they head off to college, schedule a biannual dental checkup for them first.
At Greenview Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in Rochester, MN, we understand the importance of effective dental care. We also know that, without consistent prevention, it’s hard to keep a beautiful set of teeth. Even if your child is taking the time to brush and floss like they are supposed to, they still need to see their provider twice each year for a cleaning and examination. So, this is your time to act; bring them in for a routine preventive visit before their semester starts.
Going away to college is a big step. Send them off with a fresher, cleaner smile with a checkup from Greenview Cosmetic and Family Dentistry.
Biannual Checkups Are An Essential Part Of Smile Maintenance
We know that your child is taking the time to brush and floss. They spend a full two minutes brushing twice each day, and they never skip a day of flossing. But even with all of that hard work, it’s still possible to slip up if they skip their biannual dental checkups. Most people need to see their oral health provider twice each year for a dedicated cleaning and examination.
That means that if they have not been in for a biannual dental checkup yet in 2026, they’re starting to fall behind. Before the school year starts, call our office to put them on the schedule for a visit. We can help them to be ready for the fall semester.
Tackle Issues Before They Leave Your Home
Parents often scramble to make sure that their children are ready for college. The simple fact of the matter is that once they leave your home, it’s harder to follow their moves. You have to learn to trust them at some point, but for now, you can schedule their next checkup.
While they are in the office, it’s a great time to talk about any smile issues that they have. If there’s a cavity that needs filling, we can work on that. And if they’re ready for cosmetic improvement to start the year, let’s make a plan.
