Summer is the best time to schedule checkups, teeth cleanings, and other dental treatments. In most cases, there is no school and fewer commitments to contend with.
Whether you’re sending your senior off to college or celebrating the transition from middle school to high school, we recommend booking exams this summer to keep your kids’ teeth in check.
Your Summer Break Checklist for Children of All Ages
We recommend the following:
- Book your child’s next dental exam and teeth cleaning.
- Schedule a consultation with the dentist if you have specific concerns for your child.
- Schedule your older teens' wisdom teeth evaluation before school starts in the fall or they head to college.
- Schedule your older teens' Invisalign® evaluation so they can start treatment before they go off to college.
Summer is a fantastic time to ensure your child’s smile is comfortable and cavity-free!
Why the Summer Months Are Best
If the dentist uncovers an oral health issue during their summer checkup, we can proceed with treatment without disrupting school or school-related activities.
If your child requires wisdom teeth extraction in Troy, MI, the recovery can take up to one week, which is why summer is an ideal time for this treatment.
Additionally, summer is a great time for older teens to start Invisalign. It allows you to monitor their progress closely in the early months.
