Your Back-to-School Dental Checklist

It’s almost back-to-school time—are your children ready? More importantly, are you ready? Come in and see us for checkups before school begins, and avoid interruptions in your children’s school day. With our new longer office hours, getting in to see us before school resumes is easier than ever. For your convenience, we offer weekday appointments from 7 AM to 7 PM as well as Saturday appointments. Ask us for details about $0 cleanings for covered patients. What’s not to love?

Here’s a checklist to help you plan back-to-school dental care as your children prepare for their new school year.

✔ Checkup with fluoride treatment and sealants as needed
✔ Dental fillings as needed
✔ Is six-month teeth cleaning due? Schedule now
✔ Check with coaches and schedule fitting for athletic mouthguards
✔ Pick up protective cases for removable dental appliances such as retainers and Myobrace appliances
✔ Stock up on floss, dental picks, and travel-size toothbrushes/toothpaste for cleaning teeth after lunch

Good dental health is part of good overall health. We wish you and your children a safe, healthy new school year!
