It’s that time of the year again. The kids are heading back to school, many of them starting the semester this week. The start of the school year offers a fresh start, and that’s a great oral health opportunity, too. Your brushing and flossing alone is simply not enough to keep you safe from bacterial buildup of plaque and tartar. So, if you or your child is heading back to class this fall, then see about a checkup first.
When you see Dr. Jay Cook, DDS at Family First Dental in Overland Park, KS, you’ve got someone who cares. Our office appreciates the opportunity to be a real part of your smile success story, and we know how important those biannual dental checkups are. Each visit includes both a cleaning and an examination, fighting back against harmful bacterial buildup. The start of the new school year is the perfect time for your next visit, so whether you’re heading off to college or your child’s entering the first grade, we’re here for you.
Scheduling checkups around the start of a school can help you stick to the timeline. Call our front desk to schedule your next Family First Dental visit.
Your Checkups Are An Essential Smile Step
While we know that you are doing everything you can at home to keep your smile safe, it’s simply not enough. you need to spend a full two minutes brushing your teeth, and you need to do it twice each day. Not only that, but it’s also important to floss to get the spaces in between.
Even with all of that effort, you’re falling short if you skip your checkups. Every six months, the goal is to come in for a cleaning and an examination. These visits are an essential part of your oral health maintenance, so don’t put them off.
Need A Filling? Address That Cavity
If it has been bit since your last checkup, a back to school visit is a great way to start a new smile success story. And if you have developed a cavity in one of your teeth, it’s time to talk about a filling.
Dental fillings can blend in seamlessly with the shade of your natural enamel. During your examination, Dr. Cook will identify areas in need of some help, and if there’s a cavity, we can address it. That way, you can walk into class knowing that you’re ready.
