Summer goes by fast, and before you know it, you’re packing school lunches and coordinating after-school activities. Another important item to add to your to-do list is scheduling a back-to-school dental visit.
At Justison and Gladnick Family Dentistry, your trusted family dentist in Wilmington, DE, we make it easy to fit checkups into your busy schedule.
Why a Pre-School Dental Visit Matters
In dentistry, prevention is always better than cure. Untreated cavities can be painful, cause difficulty concentrating, and lead to missed school days. A checkup at the beginning of the school year gives your child a clean bill of oral health. If there is an issue, your dentist can catch it early when it’s simpler and less costly to treat.
The Difference a Locally Owned Practice Makes
At a locally owned practice, you can count on seeing the same dentists at every visit. Dr. Justison and Dr. Gladnick know your family's dental history and your child's comfort level, and they can easily see what has changed since their last appointment.
This kind of continuity matters, especially for children who may feel nervous visiting the dentist. Both of our dentists have deep roots in the Wilmington and Pike Creek area and provide the same treatment they would want for their own families.
What to Expect at Your Child's Back-to-School Checkup
A typical visit includes a cleaning, an exam, and x-rays if needed. Your dentist in Wilmington that families rely on will check for cavities, monitor how adult teeth are coming in, and look for early signs of alignment issues.
This visit usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. If your child needs any treatment, we will walk you through options and costs before moving forward.
