The school buses are rolling, the temperatures are dropping, and families across Greeley, CO, are settling back into their routines. While you're organizing backpacks, scheduling activities, and planning fall calendars, don't forget one crucial item: scheduling dental checkups for the whole family.
Fall is the perfect time to prioritize your family's oral health at Norco Family Dental. Here's why now is the ideal moment to book those appointments.
Why Fall Is the Perfect Time for Dental Visits
Summer's leisurely schedule often means a more relaxed approach to dental care. Kids stay up late, routines slip, and dental appointments get pushed aside. Fortunately, fall brings back structure, making it a great time to re-establish healthy habits.
Benefits of fall dental checkups include:
- Catching summer damage early — A dental checkup helps us determine the toll all those sugary popsicles, sports drinks, and irregular brushing have taken on healthy smiles.
- Fresh start for good habits — Get back into the swing with proper brushing and flossing as part of your kids’ back-to-school routines.
- Maximize your insurance benefits — Many dental plans reset in January, making fall the perfect time to use remaining benefits before they expire.
Building Healthy Oral Habits That Last
Look at your fall dental visit as an opportunity to reset your family's oral health routine. At the same time, review oral health habits that may have fallen by the wayside:
- Brush twice daily for two minutes
- Floss at least once daily
- Limit sugary snacks and drinks
- Replace toothbrushes every three months
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day
