Dr. Sheri McIntosh has opened her schedule to accommodate students before summer ends. Here\u2019s why you should schedule your child\u2019s appointment today and what you can expect.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why Visit the Dentist Before School Starts? Protect Your Child\u2019s Oral Health!<\/h2>\n<p>Schedule your child\u2019s dental appointment today because you want them to start the school year in good health so you can avoid missed time at school due to dental issues. A toothache can cause severe pain and is a situation that can often be avoided with regular and consistent dental care.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll provide a thorough cleaning and examination with Dr. McIntosh at your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en\/us\/oc\/oral-health\/life-stages\/infant-oral-care\/article\/the-importance-of-pediatric-dental-care-1212\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">child\u2019s routine visit<\/a> to ensure that there\u2019s no tooth decay or other concerns you should be aware of. Avoid taking additional time out of your child\u2019s busy school schedule by scheduling their appointment now.<\/p>\n<p>We may also recommend additional services for your child such as a fluoride treatment or dental sealants. Fluoride helps to strengthen developing teeth, and remineralize a tooth that may be suffering from the early stages of decay.<\/p>\n<p>Dental sealants help to protect the chewing surfaces of your child\u2019s teeth with a thin tooth colored coating that keeps acids and bacteria from causing cavities. These services are quick and can likely be completed before school starts as well.<\/p>\n<p>If your child participates in sports, you\u2019ll want to discuss the right protective wear with Dr. McIntosh to ensure your child is wearing the best mouth guard for their needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it Time for Orthodontics?<\/h2>\n<p>Achieving a healthy beautiful smile often involves aligning teeth that are crooked or overlap. Dr. McIntosh monitors your child\u2019s oral development closely during her examinations and with x-rays periodically. If it looks like they might benefit from orthodontics, or straightening their teeth, she\u2019ll let you know and even provide recommendations for trusted providers.<\/p>\n<h2>We Wish You an Excellent School Year!<\/h2>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.distinguished-dental.com\/childrens-dentistry.html\">Distinguished Dental<\/a>, we\u2019re here to be your partners in attaining excellent oral health and in turn, great overall health and well being.
