It’s back-to-school across America!! You’ve packed away your childrens’ swim suits and bought new backpacks…you’ve sharpened their pencils and visited their pediatricians…but have they seen their dentist yet?? A dental check-up should be a part of the back to school checklist

Tooth decay is still the most common chronic disease in US children according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, and by the time they start kindergarten, more than 40 percent of kids have some tooth decay.  Kids with toothaches have trouble focusing and may not want to join in class discussions.

Your child may think they are old enough to brush their own teeth, but until they reach the age of six, make sure to take charge and brush their teeth for them at least twice daily.  Make sure older kids brush twice daily too..and don’t forget in between!!  A toothbrush can’t get in every nook and cranny, so it’s important for parents to floss their children’s teeth

Give us a call to schedule today!

Attention everyone! Drumroll, please!! We would like to congratulate Michael Hagwood for his accomplishments in baseball. Michael is a high school junior and plays on the varsity team in right field and as a designated hitter. And although he cannot hear the crack of the bat when he hits the ball, he does not let his inability to hear affect his ability to play. He began playing baseball at age 4 and uses hand signals to communicate with teammates and coaches today. After high school, Michael hopes to attend National Technical Institute for the Deaf in New York State to learn welding and, of course, to play baseball. We’re all proud of you, Michael! Go No. 19!!!
