Have You Ever Heard Of Children Asking To Go To The Dentist?
At McMillan Family Dental, in addition to treating you and your family for all of your oral health needs, we want our patients of all ages to feel right at home while in our care. We know that many of us, as adults, may not look forward to visiting the dentist. Whether you had a previous unpleasant experience or not, visiting the dentist can come with anxiety and mixed feelings.
We believe in showing children and adults that our office is a safe and comfortable place to be, and we do this through conversation and relating to our patients on a personal level. We recently had the opportunity to sit with one of our patients, who expressed how her children feel about coming to the dentist. If she forgets to schedule their appointments, they remind her because they want to visit with our own Dr. Gerard. Click above to watch a short video and hear her testimony.

We think this is the perfect time to share this video because February is Children’s Dental Health Month. The American Dental Association uses this month to teach about the importance of good oral health among children. Aside from regularly brushing and flossing, children should visit the dentist every six months. When was the last time you and your children visited our office for an oral hygiene examination and cleaning?
We know that family life is busy when children are involved. There is a never-ending schedule of activities, sports, and visits with friends. However, we encourage you to make your family’s oral health a priority. Not only are you ensuring that your children are not experiencing any issues, such as decay, but you are also teaching them the importance of receiving regular dental care. When the importance of routine dental care is stressed from childhood, there is a good chance it will be continued into adulthood. This is an excellent way to help prevent complications with oral health.
If you or a member of your family is in need of an oral hygiene examination, contact our office, which is located in Meridian, ID, to schedule an appointment. We look forward to seeing you soon!
