Beat the Back-to-School Rush
BTS season is a hectic few weeks of last-minute preparation, and unfortunately, most people wait until the last minute to get appointments scheduled. While we applaud getting to the dentist before school starts, save time and get to the dentist when times are more readily available.

Stop Skipping School
More than 30% of parents in the U.S. reported their child missed school due to an oral health problem. Address problems now to save valuable learning time during the school year.

Healthy Teeth = Happy Smiles
Tooth decay in children impacts more than their oral health, it also affects their intellectual and social development. Children can develop poor speech articulation, reluctance to smile and low self-esteem if tooth decay is left untreated.

Encourage your child to have healthy oral habits at home all year long. Doing so can help prevent cavities and tooth decay, in addition to preventive measures like sealants.
