Your Child’s Dental Care.

Summertime is a great time to manage your child’s dental health care.  The older kids are home for the summer and the younger ones are playing outdoors and perhaps eating things that are not the best for them.  Here are a few tips to prevent tooth decay from your friends at Blackman and Bliss DDS in Carol Stream Il. 

1.)        Avoid giving young children sugary drinks or sweetened snacks as much as possible.

2.)        If one of your children is being bottle fed do not let them fall asleep with the bottle in their mouth.

3.)        Do not share cups that you have used with your children to avoid the spread of bacteria.

4.)        Help small children when it is tooth brushing time and show them the proper techniques.

5.)        And finally, make sure that the older children in the household floss after brushing.

This summer can be a great experience if frequent visits to the dentist do not become a necessity.  Teach your children that a few minutes of preventative maintenance is worth the hours of treatment to fix the problem.  Blackman and Bliss DDS serving Carol Stream and west Chicagoland is there when you need them.  Call them at (630) 260-0333 to schedule a check-up for all of your children early this summer and enjoy the season!

School’s Out for Summer!

Very soon kids will have an opportunity to enjoy what will hopefully be a great summer vacation after a brutal Chicagoland winter.  When that happens adults tend to put off the necessities of life until September.  Think about your children’s dental health care at this time of year.  Why would you put off exams, fillings, braces and other important aspects of your child’s dental health care until it is time to go back to school?

Now is the time to attend to the dental care of the youth in your household.  They won’t be missing any school if several visits to the dentist are needed to correct problems.  Just tell them that they will be more attractive to their classmates when they see them again in September.  That will get their attention!

Call now to set up any dental procedure that you have been putting off during the school year.  If you live in the Carol Stream area there is no better full service dentist and orthodontist than Blackman and Bliss DDS located at 400 North Gary Avenue.  Here is the phone number to set up your child’s (or your) first appointment of the summer (630) 260-0333.  Don’t put off what will be more difficult when you are all busier in the fall.  Let your kids dazzle their friends with their new smile come September.
