February is an important month for dental health as it marks National Children’s Dental Health Month! At Orthodontic Specialists in St. George, we are dedicated to helping your little champion achieve a winning smile. Our expert children’s orthodontic care can keep your child’s teeth healthy and strong through every stage of development.
Early Orthodontic Care is a Game Changer
Whether your family is gearing up for the big game or indulging in heart-shaped treats, a healthy smile should always be part of the game plan. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive their first orthodontic screening by age 7, allowing us the opportunity to catch potential dental issues early and create a personalized treatment strategy.
Set Your Child Up for Success with Early Orthodontic Care
- Game Plan for a Perfect Smile: Like a championship team needs a solid strategy, early orthodontic care helps prevent future dental challenges.
- Choose Braces-Friendly Treats: Soft, braces-friendly treats like chocolate-dipped strawberries, soft sugar cookies, marshmallow pops, or creamy mini cheesecakes can help keep smiles safe during celebrations.
- Confidence to Shine: A straight, healthy smile boosts self-esteem and social interactions, whether on the field or in the classroom.
- Preventive Measures Win: Early intervention can help guide jaw development and prevent speech issues or uneven wear on teeth.
- Save Time and Money: Addressing orthodontic concerns early can reduce the need for more extensive treatments later.
