**POST UPDATE: March 2018**
We recently had a visit with our Disney Princess dentist in her new (and closer!) office. Later that evening I got a text to submit a review of our experience with her. Honestly, I usually ignore such requests because mama doesn’t have time for that, but I made time for this one because we adore her so. I clicked on the link and it took me to her Facebook page to leave a review. And what did I see? Yep, you may have guessed it. Her. Being a Disney Princess.

 

We know that is cold and flu season and taking care of your body is our top priority-and that includes taking care of your mouth!

So if you get sick this season here a few Oral Hygiene Tips from Dr. Z…

* Do not share your toothbrush anytime, but especially when you are sick!

* Extra precautionary practice would be to replace your toothbrush after you have been sick.

*Continue with regularly brushing twice a day with a pea size fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily.

*Stay Hydrated!!

If you have a dental appointment scheduled for your child, and they have been running fever, or have cold and flu like symptoms please let us know so we can reschedule your appointment to a time when they are healthy and feeling well!

Dr. Z and Team at Discovery Kids Pediatric Dentistry are available if you have any questions or concerns, so don’t hesitate to call!

Dr Z and staff would like to thank each of our parents and patients for entrusting us with the oral health care of your children! We are THANKFUL for each of you!

  TIP #3: Be kind to your teeth and limit your stash!

Pick your favorite candy and donate the rest!  Discovery Kids Pediatric Dentistry will be happy to buy back your candy for a worthy cause.  Come see us on “Buy Back Mondays” all month of November.  We will be happy to buy back your treats for $1/lb up to 5 lbs! 

Happy Halloween!

    TIP #2:  Some treats are better than others!

Sticky candies, like gummy bears and taffy, cling to your teeth and are much harder to wash away by your saliva.  This can increase the risk for cavities.  If choosing a treat for Halloween, reach for a piece of chocolate rather than the sticky candy!  And don’t forget to brush and floss!
