Dental Health Needs to Begin at an Early Age.

Have you ever heard someone say “I wish I had taken better care of my teeth when I was younger?”  You may have even said it yourself.  The earlier that you insist on better dental health for your kids the happier they will be when they grow up. 

The first step is to stick with a strict regimen of taking your kids to the dentist EVERY 6 months without fail.  They will receive check-ups and routine cleanings which will make for a more painless experience and become a habit for a lifetime, like changing the oil in your car.  Plus your dentist becomes a friend, not someone that your children see only in a time of pain.

Teach your children to brush their teeth regularly.  Don’t let them leave for school or go to bed without brushing thoroughly.  And don’t forget the importance of flossing.  Brushing helps clean the surface while flossing gets to those hard to reach areas between the teeth.

We aren’t just your dentist…we are your friend who will preserve that precious smile for decades to come.  If you live in the Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and Carol Stream areas contact Blackman and Bliss DDS at (630) 260-0333.
